This Pride Month, we’re going full rhinestone revolution. In this episode, we put To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything! Julie Newmar and The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert in conversation—two iconic '90s films that brought drag to the big screen, but did it in radically different ways. We unpack American sentimentality vs. Aussie surrealism, camp vs. critique, and the politics of queer visibility in a pre-RuPaul’s Drag Race world. What do these films still teach us? And what got lost in translation on the road from Priscilla’s desert to Wong Foo’s heartland?
