Big City Balls vs Small Town Pageants! 1980s vs 1990s! Documentary vs Mockumentary! Guest co-hosts Big Dipper and Meatball (Sloppy Seconds) join Brett for a battle of the stars. Representing the arthouse, it’s Jennie Livingston’s 1990 documentary of the the Golden Age of New York City drag balls, Paris Is Burning. And representing the mainstream, it’s a mockumentary about small town pageants that initially bombed at the box office but has since achieved cult classic status, 1999’s Drop Dead Gorgeous starring Kirsten Dunst. Which will win and enter the canon? And which will lose and enter the trash canon and we can never watch it again for the rest of our lives? Listen to find out!
