55. Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert + To Wong Foo, Thanks For Everything! Julie Newmar (feat. Molly Ward)

finally it's happened to me (getting Molly on the podcast)Life was a drag until we got Molly Ward in the studio, to talk about a pair of twin films that see straight actors dragging it up in mirroring road-trip comedies. A longtime listener with a deep love of all things drag, Molly is here to help Noah and Eliza enthuse over the still-legendary and empathetic Aussie classic The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert. Then the gang discusses their first time watching To Wong Foo, Thanks For Everything! Julie Newmar, an Americanised take on a very similar story of queer city-slicker fabulosity stuck in a remote backwater town.Why is one film so beloved, 'daggily Australian', and perhaps before its time (with a few notable scenes as exceptions), and the other feels somewhat static, with Swayze, Snipes and Leguizamo just as stranded as their admittedly very entertained viewers? it's time to make your choice, and DO fuck it upTRIPLET IN THE ATTIC LINKSNoah's close friend and Melbourne drag queen Iva Rosebud (https://www.instagram.com/ivarosebud/)Eliza's drag pageant behind-the-scenes doco The Queen (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0063477/)Molly's inclusive alternative to Drag Race, The Boulet Brothers' Dragula (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt6289132/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0) + The SImpsons foray into drag 'Werking Mom' (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt7702262/?ref_=nm_flmg_act_7)Anthony's work with The Push, with new singles out now = https://instagram.com/thepushinc?utm_medium=copy_link / https://linktr.ee/thepushincSend a lil thanks to the gang via https://www.buymeacoffee.com/twinpicksEMAIL: [email protected]: twinpicksFACEBOOK: @twinpickspodcastROUGH CUT: https://roughcutfilm.com/NEXT TIME: The greatest HORROR acting performances Hosted on Acast.

CrossBread — A Comedy Musical ABC Australia Twin brother and sister Josh and Joan Burns formed CrossBread, the hugely successful Christian Rap duo from Boronia in Melbourne's outer suburbs back in 2015. The band briefly lit up GodTube in Australia and became Christian hip-hop superstars, with hits such as "It’s Just Jesus" and "A Christian on a Mission (ain’t a Christian to be dissin’)". Over six episodes, their former social media manager, Ken Lim, will dig into the archives to trace their origins working in a donut shop, why it all fell apart so quickly, and their biggest regrets — like why a brother and sister would name their band "CrossBread". The Bible might be the greatest story ever told. But this could easily be the second or third best.
