Gay Card Revoked – Détails, épisodes et analyse

If you love pulled pork products, but hate kids playing Marco Polo in the pool, then grab your sash and tiara and let's go to Mount Rose Minnesota for the incredibly brilliant and groundbreaking look at small-town pageants: DROP DEAD GORGEOUS

Rob and Robbie discuss how this movie went from critical failure to queer success, the genius of Allison Janney, the Academy Awards' ignorance about comic performances, their favorite lines, a wish for Kirstie Alley, and why this movie is surviving cancel culture.

In episode twenty-nine of Gay Card Revoked, Rob and Robbie go back to 1968 and watch the visceral and campy Drag Queen beauty pageant of 1967, The Queen, which is a lesser appreciated piece of LGBTQIA+ cinema.

The boys look at the gay life before Stonewall, drag culture as a community foundation, the life or death stakes of a blonde fall, and an epic takedown by Crystal LaBeija, are all the beautiful little nuggets that make up this film that has been eclipsed by Paris Is Burning and RuPaul's Drag Race. And without Flawless Sabrina and Crystal LaBeija there might not have ever been a prominent drag culture at all!

Joining the boys is Schitt's Creek impressionist and social media sensation Michael Judson Berry who tells the boys about his rise to internet stardom, what it was like getting the Catherine O'Hara seal of approval, why all gay men need a Toddy in their life, how Blake Edwards pushed the envelope, the Goddess that is Lesley Ann Warren, TCM's Robert Osborne gets into adult movies, and a very special discussion between Liza Minnelli and Judy Garland.
