Mashable celebrates Pride all year long and honors Pride Month in June by exploring and championing the modern LGBTQ world in all its glorious queerness — including the leaders, conversations, and spaces, both online and off, making up a community that embraces and continues to fight for the freedom to thrive as our most authentic selves.


Pride Month is here, and The Film Library: A Kanopy Podcast is celebrating with an episode that embraces some of the best LGBTQ+ movies now streaming on Kanopy.

With over 30,000 titles to choose from, Kanopy offers a terrific array of movies, TV shows, documentaries, and shorts. The Film Library's co-hosts, Mashable Entertainment Editor Kristy Puchko and internet film critic Jeff Rauseo, make finding must-watch movies and TV shows even easier by highlighting the best of the batch.

Mashable offers watch guides for plenty of subscription streaming services, from Hulu to Netflix, and more, including the 75 best LGBTQ films to stream right now. But if you're looking for what you can stream with no fee, all you need for Kanopy access is your library card.

On this episode of The Film Library, Kristy and Jeff made their Pride picks, which include a groundbreaking drama, period romance, clever comedies, celebrated indies, and Oscar–nominated classics. Plus, Kristy gets personal with her appreciation of Frank Oz's 1997 comedy In & Out.

The Film Library: A Kanopy Podcast delivers new episodes twice per month, bringing new recommendations of hit films, hidden gems, misunderstood movies, and much, much more. Kanopy's catalog includes titles from BBC, Criterion, NEON, Samuel Goldwyn, HISTORY, A&E, The Great Courses, Kino Lorber, A24, and IFC Films. So, there's plenty to pick from whenever you log in!
