Death Becomes Her (with Kae Whalen)

from Rotten Rewind · host rotten rewind

Director Robert Zemeckis could have never predicted that his 1992 box office disappointment "Death Becomes Her" would endure 30 years later as an essential entry in the queer cult classic canon. Pitting Meryl Streep and Goldie Hawn against one another as frenemies in a quest for eternal youth and casting Bruce Willis as the hapless alcoholic they're fighting over, Zemeckis created an inspired piece of camp with groundbreaking VFX work and pitch-perfect offbeat casting. The co-host of Gay Wine, Kae Whalen, returns to the podcast to talk about a childhood favorite and how the film has endured as a 90s sleepover staple and iconic queer classic.Follow Kae on Instagram @gaewhalen where you can find their fantastic podcast, Gay Wine. ⁠SUBSCRIBE NOW⁠ for early access and exclusive bonus episodes at WWW.PATREON.COM/ROTTENREWIND
