THREE film-loving siblings watch TWO movies and pick which ONE better achieves what it sets out to do!Together, Meg, Noah, and Eliza will watch two films that share some kind of similarity; it might be an obscure connection (did you know 'A Bug's Life' and 'Seven Samurai' have the exact same plot?) or a dumb and obvious one ('Billy Madison' vs. 'Billy Elliot'). Then, they pick apart both films in the kind of funny, faceted discussion that could only occur between twins (and also their other sister ugh).New episodes released every Sunday!

55. Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert + To Wong Foo, Thanks For Everything! Julie Newmar (feat. Molly Ward)

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
