You may not know it yet, but doing drag and being transgender are NOT the same thing. Drag is a type of performance art. Transgender is a type of gender identity. As Drag Race as a competition, and it's contestants, have evolved over the last 14+ years, we've seen more and more Transgender Drag Performers compete and WIN! But you may still have some questions about what it all means, or are unsure of how it makes you feel. Today's episode we chat through our thoughts on Transgender People in Drag, and how it's important to support everyone.
Here's a wealth of information from a representative from Planned Parenthood:
Drag performers make the act of expressing gender — through their stage name, clothing, makeup, hair, and how they perform on stage — highly creative, exaggerated, and/or theatrical. Many drag artists perform on stage as a character who has a different gender identity than their day-to-day life.
Artists who perform in drag are often called drag queens, drag kings, or drag performers. Drag queens perform in hyper feminine costumes — often with glittery, colorful makeup. Drag kings perform in hyper masculine costumes — often with added facial hair.
A person of any gender identity can be a drag performer. Drag is known for being an art form that comments on gender norms in imaginative ways.  Sometimes this is done through lip-syncing, skits, comedy, impersonations, or dance.
Being transgender, however, is not a performance. Transgender is a gender identity. Identifying as transgender is about who you are every day. Transgender people experience their gender in a way that’s different from the gender the doctor gave them on their birth certificate when they were born. In daily life, trans folks express their gender just like anybody else — through their name, pronouns, clothing, hairstyle, how they talk and move, and more.

It's been more than 20 years since MySpace first graced our world-wide-web browsers, and it's been a social media-fueled hellscape ever since. Well, not. Not really. But gone are the days of competing for your friend's Top 8, vying for more photo gallery space, and polite conversation over the latest news headlines.
We've talked about Social Media on this show before, but today we're taking on the Influencer, what it means to be paid for your "content", and why Nomi hates all of it...
...but still somehow finds time to mindlessly scroll through TikTok. Cause it's funny.

It's another of Nomi's favorite movies, and this time we're chatting about Black Christmas (2006). She's got a lot to say about this one, considering she watches it at least once a day during the month of December. It's on a loop more than TNT replays A Christmas Story.
So grab your eggnog, cozy up by the fire, and sharpen that candy cane to an uncomfortably sharp point and we close this season of The Mr. & Mrs. Show with a Holiday favorite. See you next year gang and thanks for joining us!

It happened. It's been a long time coming, but Nomi finally convinced Robert to talk about one of her favorite movies, Showgirls. It's a deep dive into a film that many have considered to be a deep dud. But there's a lot taken for granted in this movie, despite the seemingly over-the-top performances, seedy storyline, and nudity galore.
I wouldn't say the movie has heart, but it definitely has soul. Maybe it's just too much of a mirror for most people to be able to face when watching it? Just sayin'. Happy Holiday's ya'll!

Robert and Nomi join  S. A. Bradley, (author of Screaming for Pleasure: How Horror Makes You Happy and Healthy and host of the Hellbent for Horror podcast) on a fun and energetic riff on one of our oldest and most beautiful storytelling forms: the horror genre. Bradley talks to us about how the genre is tailor-made for allegory and metaphor, and how it allows us to have a safe “handshake” with our shadow-selves. We also chat about our "first-kisses" with horror, how horror can sometimes be a safe space for LGBTQIA+ community and other "cultural outcasts", and why the genre deserves respect.
S.A. Bradley is the host of Hellbent For Horror, a popular 4- time Rondo Award-nominated podcast exploring all things horror across books, film, comics, and music that has been described by director Guillermo Del Toro as "well researched, articulate and entirely absorbing." Bradley, who has loved being scared by over 1,600 horror films, turned his passion into purpose by sharing his expansive knowledge on countless podcasts and in anthologies like Medium Chill and EvilSpeak magazine. He has lectured at Webster University and The College of Idaho, and alsoperformed his live show “My Horror Manifesto” in NYC and horror conventions like TusCon, FearCon, MileHi Con and more across the USA.

 Bradley’s first book, Screaming for Pleasure: How Horror Makes You Happy and Healthy, is a thrilling ride through the horror genre, its intense effect on every generation, and how you can be enriched by horror. The book was nominated for a Rondo Award for Best Book of 2018. Bradley has been featured in Dread Central, iHorror.com, Horrorhound, SyFy Wire and more for his work in the horror genre. 

 Prior to becoming a champion of horror, Bradley served in the U.S. Air Force and was a firefighter. He now lives in the San Francisco Bay Area with his wife and their dog, Fiona, where they can often be found meditating in a death metal mosh pit or dancing around a Northern Californian fire pit drum circle.

Are you hungry for more? No. really. It feels like Nomi and Robert are perpetually hungry, even when they just ate. There's always an opportunity for one more snack, one more dessert, and one more serving. Does it ever end? Do you ever feel the same?

This week we have a very special guest; Dr. Disneyland himself Dr. Jeffrey A. Barnes!

Jeff is more than an expert on Walt Disney and a fan of the theme parks. When Jeff talks to audiences, he blends the history, nostalgia, and Disney experience that we all love with real-life applications.
Robert & Nomi chat with Jeffrey about our favorite rides, fun facts about Disney history, and what is it about Walt Disney and the parks is so special.
