A drag queen and a Christian discover they grew up loving the same things. Spice Girls, Rainbow Brite, and complicated feelings about Michael Jackson.

A drag queen and a Christian discover they grew up loving the exact same things ...and it changes everything.

In this episode of The Christian & The Drag Queen, Travis and Danielle dive into the pop culture that shaped them: Saturday morning cartoons, 90s girl groups, and movies that made them ugly-cry. What they discover is surprising, in a world that insists we have nothing in common, their childhood touchstones reveal more shared ground than either expected.

In this episode:🌈 The Rainbow Brite revelation — and why this show meant something different to a queer kid👯‍♀️ What the Spice Girls taught us about being different and still having a squad🎬 Why Beaches remains the ultimate friendship movie (bring tissues)🎵 How Danielle processes complicated feelings about Michael Jackson and gives us a framework for holding grief and gratitude together🎤 Plus: Anita Buffem crashes the episode with her own memories of 70s and 80s pop culture (she has STORIES about Match Game)

Content Note: This episode contains a brief, dark comedy reference to historical allegations.

Whether you're a queer person who found yourself in pop culture, a Christian navigating complicated feelings about artists you loved, or anyone who grew up in the 80s and 90s wondering if your nostalgia still counts, this one's for you.

The things that shaped us don't have to be perfect to matter.
