Ep. 97: Pride Party with Drag Stars Alexis Michelle + Dusty Ray Bottoms!

06/19/20 • 80 min

Pride Month parades and marches may be cancelled, but we are so excited to welcome drag stars Alexis Michelle (RuPaul's Drag Race season 9, Dragnificent!) & Dusty Ray Bottoms (RuPaul's Drag Race season 10) to our show! They join us for a great conversation after we discuss our favorite drag queens and kings of cinema at 44:30. In other news, everyone from Stassi to "Cops" and "Live PD" are leaving our TVs - both Tom and Funmi don't know what "Live PD" is, which shocks Mark and the rest of America. And we were not prepared to have so many HBO apps in 2020! In our signature segment at 16:00, we share our thoughts on Spike Lee's Da 5 Bloods, the titillating 365 DNI, And Then We Danced, Just Mercy, Sweetheart, and Love, Victor. And a question to ponder for our next episode: is the new Hulu film Shirley good or garbage?

Ep. 96: Sometimes You Need Laughter Amongst the Sadness

It's a hard time in the United States right now. We're all going through elements of pain and sadness, but it's important to find laughter and happiness amongst the sadness, so we're going to do our best to bring you fun content with our weekly list. This week, Funmi, Tom and Mark each found things to add, from A Secret Love and The Lovebirds on Netflix to Pixar's Out on Disney+ and Defending Jacob on Apple TV+, to getting dirty with USA's Dirty John: The Betty Broderick Story and Amy Schumer Learns to Cook on Food Network. Plus, it's the time of year again --- Pilot season! We each pick and discuss the TV pilot scripts that stood out to us and wonder when/if they'll get made after Covid-19 runs its course.
