TO WONG FOO, THANKS FOR EVERYTHING! JULIE NEWMAR is remembered as the first depiction of drag queens as non-gag main characters in a major Hollywood production. Vida Boheme (Patrick Swayze), Noxeema Jackson (Wesley Snipes), and Chi Chi Rodriguez (John Leguizamo) are California-bound New York drag queens who find themselves sidetracked in a rural Midwestern(?) town. They find some of the locals intolerant, some just ignorant, and some in desperate need of a makeover. It’s not really what movies from the 2000s, 2010s, and 2020s have led you to expect: While there’s some friction, it’s not a movie about the knock-down drag-out social struggles of drag queens. In fact, it’s a bit of a refutation of that archetype: A narrative near-weightlessness gives the leads the freedom to heighten the reality around the subject matter and, put simply, camp it the hell up. In this episode, we welcome longtime friend of the pod Matt Yost to explore how TO WONG FOO exists inside and outside the queer struggle of its time, reflect on its provenance today, discuss its metatextual layers, and call out some of our favorite lines in this astonishingly funny script. Plus, Cody reverse-engineers a super solid trivia segment from one of his strongest puns yet.

On this episode of Portroidcast, I present three flashback roundtable interviews I participated in back in July 2011 at San Diego Comic Con with the original cast of "Batman": Adam West, Julie Newmar, and Burt Ward! I never published these and only just found them on an old recorder I used to use. There is a bit of background noise throughout, which might be one of the reasons I never posted previously, but if you can get around that, they are very enjoyable. (Note: I edited out some small details, like questions that didn't go over well, or Julie Newmar giving me her personal email address (I never contacted her (sorry, Catwoman))) Here are the portroids I took during the interviews (which can be heard on the podcast): Adam West Julie Newmar Burt Ward (accidental double-exposure) Enjoy!

finally it's happened to me (getting Molly on the podcast) Life was a drag until we got Molly Ward in the studio, to talk about a pair of twin films that see straight actors dragging it up in mirroring road-trip comedies. A longtime listener with a deep love of all things drag, Molly is here to help Noah and Eliza enthuse over the still-legendary and empathetic Aussie classic The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert. Then the gang discusses their first time watching To Wong Foo, Thanks For Everything! Julie Newmar, an Americanised take on a very similar story of queer city-slicker fabulosity stuck in a remote backwater town. Why is one film so beloved, 'daggily Australian', and perhaps before its time (with a few notable scenes as exceptions), and the other feels somewhat static, with Swayze, Snipes and Leguizamo just as stranded as their admittedly very entertained viewers? it's time to make your choice, and DO fuck it up TRIPLET IN THE ATTIC LINKS Noah's close friend and Melbourne drag queen Iva Rosebud (https://www.instagram.com/ivarosebud/) Eliza's drag pageant behind-the-scenes doco The Queen (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0063477/) Molly's inclusive alternative to Drag Race, The Boulet Brothers' Dragula (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt6289132/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0) + The SImpsons foray into drag 'Werking Mom' (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt7702262/?ref_=nm_flmg_act_7) Anthony's work with The Push, with new singles out now = https://instagram.com/thepushinc?utm_medium=copy_link / https://linktr.ee/thepushinc Send a lil thanks to the gang via https://www.buymeacoffee.com/twinpicks EMAIL: twinpickspodcast@gmail.com INSTAGRAM: twinpicks FACEBOOK: @twinpickspodcast ROUGH CUT: https://roughcutfilm.com/ NEXT TIME: The greatest HORROR acting performances Hosted on Acast.

Welcome to another episode of SFP-NOW. This week Raissa and I discuss the previous two episodes of 'Doctor Who' and make a few predictions on who we suspect the mysterious missy is.

So sit back, tune in and enjoy. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
