Actor and cult icon Mink Stole is on mic with us this week. You Might Know Her From Pink Flamingos, But I'm a Cheerleader, Desperate Living, Spyder Games, Female Trouble, and the Eating Out films. Mink talks to us about her simpatico relationship with queer filmmakers, her decades-long work with John Waters and the Dreamlanders, taking on the world of cabaret and releasing her album Do Re Mink, and the MTV neo-soap opera Spyder Games. All that Mink goodness, plus our plea for you to watch Hillbilly Elegy with us for next week's holiday mini-sode.
