Dylan and Connor are joined by Tony and Olivier Award winner Jak Malone (Operation Mincemeat). Ahead of the original Broadway cast’s final performance in Operation Mincemeat, the twins sit down with Jak for an unofficial DRAMA exit interview. Jak looks back on seven years of Mincemeat: from meeting the team behind it, the very first audition, and taking the show all the way to New York City. Special memories from the Broadway experience are shared, including some fabulous celebrity encounters, fan interactions, and lessons learned from Hester. Jak shares never-before-told stories about his early days falling in love with the arts. Pantos, grandmothers, and doggies, oh my! We talk Phantom of the Opera, Masquerade, Grey Gardens, Love Story, and a little Nicole Scherzinger. Why not! Jak teases what he’s up to next and shares tidbits on what he’s been working on creatively in New York City. We’re dreaming of Jak in Oh, Mary! You’re going to LOVE this chat with Jak. “What a silly thing for anyone to –” Dramaaaa!

Connor and Dylan are joined by Brandon Flynn (Data, 13 Reasons Why). You already know and love him, but prepare to fall deeper after this truly good hang. Fresh from recently opening the new play Data at the Lucille Lortel, Brandon talks about the preview process, developing his character Jonah, and his chilly walk to work in the West Village from his East Village apartment. Brandon gets honest about his coming out story, the radical queer life he lives with his talented husband Jordan Tannahill, and how he hopes he can pave the way for young queer actors. These ‘93 babies hit it off as they discuss The Real Housewives of Miami, Lady Gaga and the Grammys, and Charlize Theron’s transformation in Monster. But that’s not all, honey! They cover Rent Boy by Gary Indiana, 1000lb Sisters (drama!), and the lost art of the answering machine messages. In light of Heated Rivalry’s meteoric popularity, Brandon reflects on a similar effect when 13 Reasons Why was first released 10 years ago. This episode suuuuper gay btw! We’re big Brandon fans on DRAMA. Go see him in Data through March 29th!
