Getting Down & Wordy

The Little Mermaid "Poor Unfortunate Souls" & Drag


Listen Later

In light of the release of the live action The Little Mermaid and in support of Pride Month, in this episode we're talking about Doctor Octopus's drag persona, Ursula. Just kidding, but she IS purported to be based on a drag queen. Is it a fun cool drag queen that we should all celebrate? Well... At least Divine had lots of pride about being a drag queen. Oh? He didn't at all? Well . . . huh. Anyways, we discuss the mysterious origins of this word "drag". We discuss Polari, the secret language of carnies, thieves, and homosexuals. We discuss the first drag queen who was an ex-slave living in Washington D.C.!


In Eurovision of course we have to talk about Croatia's Let 3.
