[Note: This was recorded on March 24, 2020.] We made it to ten episodes! We have so many people we'd like to thank...and we take a break from the hard theory to talk about notable Award Acceptance speeches, a genre we both love. This includes when Marlon Brando snubbed his win, Fiona Apple goes full postfeminist, Julia Roberts forgets to thank the person she played in a film, and Limp Bizkit's moment of Glory is ruined by utter-early aughts chaos. Then Robin informs Patrick about the death of Terrence McNally and they discuss his contribution to queer culture.
