For part two of this Real Housewives conversation, Andrew, Mary and Lenzi share their thoughts on Mary Cosby’s mental health and whether Bravo is exploiting her health for ratings! Andrew and Mary roleplay as Brooks and Meredith and talk about all of the RUMORS and NASTINESS going on in Salt Lake City. Why does Andrew thinks the RHOSLC are just like an SNL cast? Andrew, Mary, and Lenzi discuss Angie Harrington and how her role was too “clean cut” for the producers.

Then, all three deliver their hot takes on Orange County and whether the new cast members shook things up. Andrew describes his crush on Jennifer Pedranti’s husband Ryan and definitely wants to get his hands on that bedazzled jacket. Andrew wonders if the new housewives will ever adopt open relationships or stick to the monogamy construction.   

Stay tuned for future ITBR Real Housewives episodes where we invite Lenzi back to discuss BravoCon and more Housewives premieres!

Welcome to "The Callback" episode of ITBR Rewatches the iconic "Smash" 2012 American TV show! Hosted by Christian Garcia (Host of That Ol' Gay Classic Cinema)

Christian and Andrew discuss the similarities between the drama that both Karen and Ivy face in the show as compared to Marilyn Monroe’s real-life drama like the sacrifices she made for her work and battling off sexual advances from men in the Hollywood industry.

Just to remind you all here's a brief description about the "The Callback” episode:

As Ivy and Karen both attempt to please Derek in order to win the role of Marilyn, Julia and her husband Frank become frustrated by the process of their international adoption and Eileen's acrimonious divorce complicates her attempt to finance the musical.

Our very own sponsor Jenine Cucchi (from The SoapBox NY) enters the ITBR to help us discuss Demonic Possession in The Conjuring and Exorcist Universe from “The Nun 2” and “The Exorcist: Believer."

Andrew, Mary, and Jenine begin by questioning the wave of Demonic Possession sweeping various parts of Europe in "The Nun 2" and compare this to the wave of witchcraft hysteria that swept much of the world during the 16th and 17th century.

Andrew wonders about the significance of eyes being gouged out in both films and asks, “the devil really wants to take away your sight, what’s the metaphor behind this”? Mary hints towards the expression “seeing is believing."

Finally, Mary questions the religious significance in “The Exorcist: Believer” and the writer’s decision to allow baptized children to live while sacrificing the non-baptized.

Stay tuned for future gothic episodes like a possible “Poltergeist” episode!

Digital Creator, Aaron Wallis enters the ITBR to discuss episode 3: "No Bris, No Shirt, No Service" of the iconic “Queer as Folk” 2000 American TV show!

Aaron and Andrew discuss the taking back of offensive words by the queer community and how they no longer let insults affect them. Aaron opens up about how queer drug culture throughout this episode deeply affected him as he was watching the show. Then, Aaron and Andrew explore the pros and cons of having different gay relationships like being in an open relationship.

Just to remind you all here's a brief description about the "No Bris, No Shirt, No Service" episode: 

Lindsay and Melanie have a bris for their new baby Gus, which Brian decides to miss until Michael convinces him otherwise. Brian decides to crash the party and put his parental foot down. Justin seeking to regain the attention of Brian decides to make himself noticed at Babylon. Meanwhile, Brian's involvement as the father of Gus causes some relationship strain between Lindsay and Melanie. Michael attempting to continue his straight act, runs into a co- worker in front of the gay bars. Also, Ted finally gets lucky with a guy who he's been denying the advances of all night but ends up with devastating results.

Animation Director and Writer, Sage Cotugno enters the ITBR to discuss their new graphic novel series “The Glass Scientists: Volume One." Sage discusses taking inspiration from the 1886 novella “Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde” written by Robert Louis Stevenson and Mary Shelley’s “Frankenstein” in depicting gothic characters who have rather complex nuances.  

Sage and Andrew discuss the opposing forces between Sage’s characters in “The Glass Scientists…” between Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde as they both represent near perfect foils of each other. Dr. Jekyll represents good morals and Mr. Hyde represents evil ones. Sage admits that their adaptation differs because they display Dr. Jekyll as not all good but also not all bad displaying an “imperfect Jekyll vs this perfectly evil Hyde."

Finally, Sage and Andrew discuss the 2022 Horror/Mystery film “Talk to Me” where Sage praises the movie for being “more moderate…more secular” denoting the film's distance from traditional horror ghost style genres that follow religious affiliations. And, they also get into a riveting discussion about vampirism and all things "Dracula." This episode is for all who love queer monstrosity (shout out to Joseph Federico for this phrase)!
