We're still feeling the gay ass vibes of Pride and talking about one of the gayest film directors there ever was, Joel Schumacher, with our pals and hosts of the film history podcast, Mixed Reviews, Gavin Mevius and Louie Rendon.

We're breaking down Batman Forever, Batman & Robin, The Lost Boys, The Client, St. Elmo's Fire, Phantom of the Opera, and more. Add Joel Schumacher to Anne's list of men + Cesar Romero's TAILOR and drama with Andrew Lloyd Webber, can you imagine?

Well, we are forever P!NK fans now, folks.

The flying popstar delivered one of the best Tony openings in years complete with celeb cameos and a rendition of "Lady the names of the nominated actors multiple times for TV viewers across the country. It was truly a joy that hearkens back to Rosie O'Donnell's iconic medley featuring Jennifer Holiday, Patti Lupone, and former guest of this show, Betty Buckley. What a time to be alive.

That P!NK is giving the kids at home a little bit of that in 2026 felt so very important. We have so many thoughts so get into it.

Plus, we're excited to announce that You Might Know Her From has live recordings happening coming up in Provincetown (July 21) and at mid-Missouri Pride in Columbia, MO (September 25). Hope to see you there!

Thank you for being here with us. What did you think of the Tonys? We are forever Team P!NK now! (Do we need to write her name like that every time?) Til death do us part, think P!NK (iykyk). What did you think?

Here's a little sneak peek into this week's Patreon episode. If you want to hear the rest of the ep, head on over to www.patreon.com/youmightknowherfrom

Kids, we're back with even more thoughts, feelings, and musing on Liza Minnelli's epic autobiography Kids, Wait 'Til You This. Anne is keeping us on track with a laundry list of must-talk-about items while Damian derails the whole thing screaming about David Gest.

There's so much to unpack in the latter half of KWTYHT: David Gest (loser!), Kathleen Turner, Princess Di, Michael Jackson, Janet Jackson, Ernest Borgnine, Elizabeth Taylor, Smash!!!, hotdogs, cigarettes in non-smoking homes, and being a "big fan" of Lady Gaga.

Did you finish? Please oh please sound off in the comments or our DMs. We could go on for another 50 minutes, easy.

Love ewes.

We shoot the shet and tackle the hot topics of the day, including John Travolta and his traveling berets at Cannes, the nature of sweetening celeb voices in musicals, and the Survivor 50 finale. Look folks, every once in a while we get deep over here on the Patreon and this was one of 'em. A simple conversation about toilet paper and bidets gives way to talk of ethical consumerism and mutual aid. Are you with us? We hope so, we love you, mean it!

It's Marsha Mason. You Might Know Her From The Goodbye Girl, Chapter Two, The Middle, Grace & Frankie, Drop Dead Fred, Heartbreak Ridge, Frasier, Only When I Laugh, Cinderella Liberty, and Judy Garland: Me & My Shadows.

Marsha is a prolific stage and screen actor, a 4-time Oscar-nominee, an organic herb farmer, a race car driver, and a theatre director who gave us all the scoop on jumping in as a last-minute understudy for The Roommate starring Patti LuPone and Mia Farrow on Broadway. We talk about her artistic (and personal) partnership with her ex-husband Neil Simon, the original Goodbye Girl directed by Mike Nichols and starring Robert Deniro that never was (Bogart Slept Here), and what it was like seeing Kathleen Turner "play her" in her stepdaughter, Ellen Simon's film Moonlight and Valentino. All that plus, the cult status of Drop Dead Fred, her failed sitcom Sibs, and the Ethel Gumm of it all. This one was such an incredible full-circle moment for us and a great way to close out this half of the season but we'll be back real soon! Love yous, mean it.

Chyler Leigh gave us all the goods on her time on Grey's Anatomy: working with the late great Eric Dane, THAT musical episode, the scuttlebutt around Ellen Pompeo leaving, and shooting a cameo during COVID. We also get into Supergirl and how Alex Danvers coming out helped spark her own coming out as bisexual. All that plus, working with the time-traveling pond in Hallmark's The Way Home, accessing deep emotion at the turn of a dime, and having to jump in a hot tub with Marilyn Manson. Seriously. We were SO tickled by this interview and hope you are too.
