Summary

For the final entry of our "underrated or underseen" theme, we're talking DIY drag horror film Death Drop Gorgeous (2021). Joining us are fashion and culture bloggers and podcasters Tom & Lorenzo, the married couple who literally wrote the book on RuPaul and queer lifestyle. This hilarious conversation repeatedly observes the way that only gay men could have made this film. Plus: in defense of sissy femme stereotypes, celebrations of big mouthed drag queens, memories of Joe’s time working in the gay bar, using wigs as cum rags, googling Pup play, and why this film is Holiday Horror.
