We're kicking PRIDE off a little early because comics librarian Jack Phoenix is here and we are ready to talk about the very straight story of a man showing up to another man's house and pulling him away from his wife so that the two of them can make a human life together! Very straight. So straight. Not gay at all. Doctor Pretorius, we love you and the tiny people you've been cloning and dressing. And Una O'Connor, you and your ridiculous accent are the real MVP!

Alicia really wants it to be known that we didn't talk nearly enough about Elsa Lancaster, her marriage to Charles Laughton, and that she was in Mary Poppins. All apologies.
