Grab your 6-inch heels and hardshell suitcase! Today on the pod, comedian Mimi von Schack (Just for Laughs Montreal, DropOut TV, UCB's Smokeshow, Hollywood's Biggest Podcast) is here to talk all things Burlesque. We talk plot, of course, and what Mimi loves about this movie, but this becomes a much bigger conversation about camp, femininity, fandom as a whole, and how much we dislike "ironically" liking things as opposed to getting out of your own way and just truly enjoying things. Join us as we Wagon Wheel Watusi!
