Summary

Michael Ausiello steps Behind The Rope. Pop Culture Guru and Contributing Editor to Entertainment Weekly, TV Guide and so many more, we could be here all day. Michael is here to chat about his new film “Spoiler Alert: The Hero Dies”, based on his best selling book, in which he chronicles his thirteen year relationship with his husband Kit who passed away due to a rare form of cancer several years back. Michael is openly candid about that time in his life, relationship with Kit - being played by Jim Parsons - and the process of making a movie starring the likes of Oscar Winner Sally Field. Having been an entertainment journalist for several decades who has interviewed everyone who is anyone, the convo quickly turns to pop culture - best / worst interview, dream “get” interview, the current representation of LGBTQIA+ in Hollywood, Real Housewives, The Kardashians, and oh, so much more! We talk reboots, Gilmore Girls, Felicity and more about the brilliant “Spoiler Alert”. Spoiler Alert, Bring Tissues!
