Gay Card Revoked

If you love pulled pork products, but hate kids playing Marco Polo in the pool, then grab your sash and tiara and let's go to Mount Rose Minnesota for the incredibly brilliant and groundbreaking look at small-town pageants: DROP DEAD GORGEOUS

Rob and Robbie discuss how this movie went from critical failure to queer success, the genius of Allison Janney, the Academy Awards' ignorance about comic performances, their favorite lines, a wish for Kirstie Alley, and why this movie is surviving cancel culture.

In episode twenty-nine of Gay Card Revoked, Rob and Robbie go back to 1968 and watch the visceral and campy Drag Queen beauty pageant of 1967, The Queen, which is a lesser appreciated piece of LGBTQIA+ cinema.

The boys look at the gay life before Stonewall, drag culture as a community foundation, the life or death stakes of a blonde fall, and an epic takedown by Crystal LaBeija, are all the beautiful little nuggets that make up this film that has been eclipsed by Paris Is Burning and RuPaul's Drag Race. And without Flawless Sabrina and Crystal LaBeija there might not have ever been a prominent drag culture at all!

Hello, Gorgeous! It's time to look at the screen debut of the patron saint of queerdom, Barbra Streisand, in her Academy Award winning performance as Fanny Brice in FUNNY GIRL.

Once Upon A Time.....in a far off television studio.....lived an indie actress with a single dream: To get all of her famous friends in one room, have them weirdly act out the most demented fairy tales, and make sure that every little queer child knew that you don't need happily ever after when you have Shelley Duvall's Faerie Tale Theatre.

Today's queer expert is celebrated actor Wyatt Fenner who comes with not only a battered moleskin filled with notes and observations but a TedTalk on Shelley, Robert Altman, Rumplestiltskin, Tattoo from Fantasy Island, being an OG Bronie, and why Jeff Bridges can climb Rapunzel's tower any day he wishes.

Next episode: SHELLEY DUVALL'S FAIRYTALE THEATER

One of the most optimistic movies of the LGBTQIA+ canon is celebrated on episode 24. Back when printers were dotted, headshots were black and white, and you had to talk to a real person before sleeping with them, there were two queer men named Gabe and Mark and all they wanted to do was find a place to hook up in the crazy, comical world of TRICK.

Rob and Robbie take a glance at Drag Race UK vs. Drag Race US, the acting brilliance of Tori Spelling, the prettiness of "Enter You," podcast discount codes, the dimples of Christian Campbell, the sultriness of J.P. Pitoc, worshipping at the queer alter of Steve Hayes, and the awkward conversations with Blockbuster employees.

Next episode: TRICK

Hello, darlings! Today we Rob and Robbie become the students as they learn about the life of queer icon Tallulah Bankhead, whose outspokenness on sex, love, queerness, and feminism were light years ahead of her time.

Joining the boys is Tony nominee and Broadway legend Lee Roy Reams, who not only does a fabulous Tallulah impression, but was the first openly gay actor to play an openly gay role in a musical. Lee Roy dishes on Tallulah, her escapades with both sexes, her wit, her wisdom, and what she means to the queer community of elders.

Next episode: TALES OF THE CITY: A NOVEL

In episode twenty-one of Gay Card Revoked, Rob and Robbie look at Paul Rudnick, Patron Saint of 90s Gay Movies, and his incredible 1993 story JEFFREY, about a gay man who decides it's easier to be alone than to be in love.....until he meets the dreamy, HIV+ Steve.

Joining the boys is Bryan Batt, who played Darius in the play and film version of Jeffrey, and is best known for his performance as the closeted art director Sal on AMC's Mad Men. The boys discuss the ability to laugh during a pandemic, why Kathy Najimy is a National Treasure, how Bryan got the role of Darius, what it was like riding a van with Sir Patrick Stewart, the Who's-Who of cameos that appear in this film, dancing a hoe-down with Christine "Good Work, Kalinda" Baranski, and why this movie's message of hope still resonates today!
