- Ep. 21 - La Cage aux Folles (1978) & The Birdcage (1996)
This week we examine the French film La Cage aux Folles (1978) and the American remake The Birdcage (1996) and discuss queer joy, people with privilege expecting the world to change for them, using your identity as an excuse not to be critical of your actions, and butts, butts, butts!
