Lasagna Time with Billy and Kyle

A show that’s is unique and one of TV’s most controversial hits, a millennial opus in six seasons, it’s HBO’s GIRLS! Joining us for another round robin episode are two stellar guests with very important perspectives: first, Richard Brighi, who, like many, did not appreciate GIRLS’ merits upon a college-aged viewing but, now later in his 20s, understands its wisdom and has converted to devotee, and second, she’s singer at The Q but more importantly a Real Life Millennial White Girl, Hayley Moir! Welcome to the pod, friends!

This next podcast goes out to all the agoraphobic alcoholics who couldn’t be here tonight. Top off your glass and join us at Julius’ as we discuss one of the ultimate films about queer writing and queer drinking as we’re joined by drag artist Just June to talk about class, writing, performance, and coping in Can You Ever Forgive Me? This round is on us!

Culinary community builder JB Douglas comes on the pod to discuss food as capital and appreciation in "A Bug's Life," whose take on food sustainability was years ahead of its time.

This episode of Lasagna Time comes to you confidentially, For Your Ears Only. We have GQ UK’s Jack King on to talk martinis, girls, and guns. From the iconography of James Bond’s Vesper martini to how the Daniel Craig cycle tackles Bond’s alcoholism as a real, human component of world famous spy’s character, join us as we discuss 007’s legacy and, yes, how a little vodka might contribute to the secret agent’s role as a foot soldier of the British Empire. And we also talk who of us has had Bond’s famous martini!

In celebration of the female buddy comedy B.A.P.S, theater critic Ayanna Prescod comes on the pod to honor this films’ black girl joy, nourishing soul food, and numerous cameos.

Dust off your whiskers and grab a dish that will remind you of childhood! On this episode of Lasagna Time, we talk with theatremaker and food lover Nick Auer about creative authorship, artistic collaboration, food as aesthetic expression, criticism as creativity, that 11 Madison Park review in the Times, and what Pixar’s Ratatouille has to say about art and personal experience.

Pull up an ornate chair and straighten your posture: today we're having us a regal meal! As classy and spunky as Mia Thermopolis, guest Sam Goober calls in from royal Londontown to chat all things corndogs, tea, and mint sorbet in "The Princess Diaries," now 20 years young.

A bitter sweet adaptation of CHARLIE AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY calls for the sweetest guest and the most scrumptious conversation with theatre director and producer Charles Quittner. We dive into Charles’ abiding love for the Tim Burton confection, as well as a look into the theatrical set design, the cynical look at labor, and how the film fits within Burton’s study of capitalism and industrialism. Join the Lasagna Time folks for a taste of a subversive take on a classic children’s tale!

Be our guest? Celebrity evolutionary scientist Jeremy Yoder joins us for a talk about the sumptuous food and drink in the 1991 Oscar winner "Beauty and the Beast," though sadly, despite his Ph.D., offers no insight into how a castle's servants devolved into anthropomorphized objects. But! Join us for an engaging chat about food-centric, Busby Berkeley-inspired numbers from the film and how Disney musicals endure as a gateway drug for gays.

In a love-letter of a round table discussion, urbane queers Sam Myers and Zamin Husain join our hosts for a discussion about "Please Like Me," a show as culinary as it is biting and tender, monstrous and millenial. With each episode named after a dish prepared or consumed, this queer Aussie dramedy shows how food operates as a form of care when its selfish but alluring characters have few other ways of expressing it.
