Summary

It's the original Haus of Haunt, Mary! Addams Family Values is a surprisingly queer movie--written by gay writer Paul Rudnick, it's full of brilliant one-liners, perfect reads and amazing women. We fawn all over Joan Cusack (and Anjelica Huston and Christina Ricci and Christine Baranski...), explore the queer undertones of Camp Chippewa and quote as many lines as we can remember. (Plus: info on how to get access to more bonus episodes like this via Patreon at patreon.com/alrightmary)
