In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Alan Amtzis, whose background in film, teaching, and LGBTQ media gives us a new lens on Heated Rivalry. Dr. Amtzis breaks down Shane and Ilya as carefully constructed characters navigating masculinity, sexuality, and identity both on and off the ice. We talk about how the show plays with power dynamics, flips traditional gender expectations, and manages to center sex without reducing identity to it.
