Ep6 Strug Boat: Can We Talk About Will and Disgrace?


Listen Later

Colin Anderson and Candice Chetta get real real about a little show you may remember called Will & Grace. OK, maybe the episode title is a little rough, but we have to talk about this. It had it’s place, it did it’s thing, but all of those characters were bonafide crew members of the Garbage Barge – let’s keep that real. They were swabbin’ the poop decks with the rest of us trash more than they were blazing trails, and that’s what we’re talking about in this episode! We each have that place in our lives that Will & Grace will forever occupy, but it’s time to discuss how problematic the first series was, and what kind of stereotypes and ideas were perpetuated because this show was as wide-reaching was it was. But don’t worry, we also talk about Chicken McNuggets and the delicious new Sriracha Mac Sauce… so all is not lost! Let us know what you think about the Will & Grace reboot! Are you watching? Are you worried? We want to know!
