Episode 57: The Birdcage - Drag Dinner from Hell | Movie Night

from Barely Literate Book & Movie Club · host Barely Literate BMC

In this episode of Barely Literate, the spotlight turns to Chris's favorite movie of all time, The Birdcage. An endlessly quotable comedy directed by Mike Nichols and starring Robin Williams and Nathan Lane at peak comedic brilliance. Set in vibrant South Beach, Miami the film follows a family scrambling to stage the perfect “traditional” dinner to impress ultra-conservative in-laws — resulting in escalating chaos, identity-swapping, and one of the most iconic comedic performances of the ‘90s.Follow us!⁠⁠Our Website⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram - Barely Literate Book & Movie Club⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Twitch - Jarickho⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Twitch - Gooberino16⁠⁠⁠⁠
