In Episode 54, Josh and Sean dive into a wide-ranging chat about the power of nostalgia, the legacy of childhood television, and how media shaped their early experiences. They reflect on the passing of Malcolm-Jamal Warner, and how his legacy on The Cosby Show has been overshadowed by the criminal activity of Bill Cosby.
The duo daydream about launching QueerCon, a celebration of queer icons past and present. Expect reality TV throwbacks, shoutouts to the casts of Pose and Paris Is Burning, and a love letter to the cultural moments that shaped them.
Enjoy the ride!
