Vice Versa

The BL Clinic receives a patient who came to the clinic in 2022, and hasn't left the Clinic yet. It's the GMMTV show Vice Versa! Sister Unity likes it, mostly because Jimmy is in it, but both Dr. Jose and Sister Unity think GMMTV could have done better. We talk about why Vice Versa was not as successful as it could have been, and we discuss how it could have been improved.

Cutie Pie / Secret Crush On You

After a long hiatus the Clinic is back! We are open for business and cramming TWO PATIENTS in one show! Cutie Pie and Secret Crush on You, which aired around the same time and ended nearly simultaneously, are coming in for a checkup. Join Sister Unity and Dr. Jose as they examine Cutie Pie's script ailments and Secret Crush On You directorial hiccups. 

PD We apologize for the audio issues. This will be the last episode we record using CleanFeed. Our plan is to move to another platform which should help a lot with the audio clarity. Also, I (Dr. Reyes) apologize for our long absence, but I had to deal with some personal issues (I will tell you in the next podcast!). Thankfully, I am back and should be able to produce more of these episodes. Please support the podcast by downloading our episodes and tell your BL friends about us! We need your support!!!

Toxic Masculinity in BL: Toxic semes, toxic ukes and toxic producers

Sister Unity and Dr. Jose are alarmed at the number of cases of Toxic Masculinity Syndrome (TMS). Most of the cases that we have seen at the clinic are the toxic Semes who want to subdue the Uke to their will. However, some TMS cases have good prognosis, like the Transformative Toxic Masculinity. Others, have terrible prognosis, like those in which the entire production is toxic. Join Sister Unity and Dr. Jose as they discuss the latest cases of Toxic Masculinity, from Cutie Pie to Secret Crush on You, while taking a look back at the first cases, such as Love Sick and Love by Chance!

On this episode we talk about some current news, including the MikeToptap controversy. We also discuss the first episode of the 7 Project anthology, Will You Be My Love?, staring Santa and Earth (Cooheart).


PD I had a microphone issue. I promise I will never use this microphone again! So if my voice sounds a bit nasal, is not because I was sick but just that I was using a new microphone that clearly wasn't up to task.

Lovely Writer

Lovely Writer enters the BL Clinic for diagnosis. The chart shows strong vitals: acting and directing are very good, but there is a third element that we had not even thought off. Find out what element we missed from the vitals and why Lovely Writer almost flatlined towards the end.


PD Sister Unity had a major issue with the computer. Instead of using the microphone he had on his headset, his computer was recording from its internal microphone. We thought about recording this episode all over again but decided to keep it as is because we thought the discussion was really good! Our apologies!
