116. Barbie

Well listeners, it’s the movie of the moment. Something that truly brought the girls and gays together all over the globe to flock to the cinema to make a cultural phenomenon. She’s everything, and now…she’s a movie. She is of course: BARBIE! Arron and Zacary join forces to talk about the candy colored fantasy, concocted by Greta Gerwig. They discuss the sets, the costumes, the cast, and even reveal which Barbie they would want to be! And of course, they reveal just how GAY the film Barbie is on their “Gay-o-meter”!

After an extended hiatus, your two gays are back just in time to celebrate the last day of pride! For today’s episode, Arron and Zacary shoutout some of their favorite queer content that feels like Pride viewing essentials. Then later in the show, they go through a Pride questionnaire where they talk about a list of their gay firsts! First gay crush, first gay boyfriend, first pride! So tune in, and don’t worry, the show is officially back in business!

Listeners, remember: don’t get mad, get EVERYTHING! And this episode is certainly everything. That’s right, today the two gays are finally covering the comedy classic, The First Wives Club! This movie has been on the two gays movie wishlist for quite some time, and they’re so excited to get into all of the ins and outs of this 90s gay classic starring Goldie Hawn, Bette Midler, and Diane Keaton. Arron says that when he watched the movie he believed it was the most “Zacary” movie that’s been watched on the pod so far. And he’s not wrong….I mean you have NYC, actresses galore, and even a closing musical number. It’s a marvel. Still a classic. And to close out the show, and just in time for its release this week, the two gays watch the trailer to the second season of Schmigadoon! This time trading in hoop skirts and classic musical theatre, for fishnets, splits, and sultry sexuality. The gays are here for it!

Arron and Zacary do some midnight podcasting, as they meet up right after the closing of awards season 2023, with a chat about the 95th annual Academy Awards.  They talk about the historic sweep that Everything Everywhere All At Once experienced, the mini sweep for All Quiet on the Western Front, and all the other films that surprisingly went home empty handed. They also get into the musical performances, Michelle Yeoh's star moment, and Zacary gushes over the surprise appearance of Jenny the donkey, from The Banshees of Inisherin To close things out, they give some dream overdue performers that they would love to see awarded with their own golden statues in the future.

Listeners, you can’t fight the moonlight, OR these two gays from thoroughly geeking out over talking about the classic early 2000’s cult hit, with the gays and gals: Coyote Ugly! From the bar choreography, to the potential star power of Piper Perabo, and the Leann Rimes of it all, they go into EVERYTHING! The insanely thin plot holes are definitely plentiful, but does it even matter? No. The gays say no. This movie was such a joy to talk about, and the two gays are just glad to be back with a new episode to share with you all. So grab a shot Johnny, Jack, or Jose. All their favorite men. And let’s light some bar tops on fire! (Except not really. This movie is WILD)

It’s been a minute, and the gays just wanted to catch up and have a little Kiki. Listen to Arron and Zacary dive into what they’ve been watching the past few weeks, and play a round of “Do We Like Them?” for some harmless fun. Also there is some news about the future! So what are you waiting for? HIT PLAY!

It’s the last episode of 2022! And in honor of the new year, the two gays are making their lists for the gay time capsule for 2022! This has been quite a year for content, and they’re choosing what they think should be remembered from 2022. Arron and Zacary have compiled a list that includes everything from movies, to tv shows, from favorite performers, to the content that most flopped for them this year. Some of their choices are even the same! And of course, they surprise each other for one more segment of “Two Gays Watch Something” for 2022! So pop the bubbly, put on something shiny, and cozy up with the gays, as they ring in 2023!

Just in time for Santa to come sliding down your chimneys, the two gays are bringing you a brand spanking new episode. This week, Arron and Zacary are diving into their first Whitney Houston performance, with the holiday classic: “The Preacher’s Wife”! It’s filled with fabulous gospel singing, a charming Denzel Washington, hilarious jokes, and some sass from the likes of Loretta Divine & Jenifer Lewis. But before the movie fun, Zacary does a personality quiz with Arron, to determine which Whitney Houston song he is! Also, the gays finally try a tall glass of PILK. Tune in to hear whether it’s destined to become a new Christmas tradition.

Surprise! The gays decided to switch things up, and instead of covering "The Mean One" this week, they're getting into some of Dolly Parton's mountain magic! Join Arron and Zacary as they go down to Dollywood, and hang with Dolly and all of her special guests, including, Willie Nelson, Billy Ray AND Miley Cyrus, Ana Gasteyer, Jimmy Fallon, and more!  But before they get into their chat about the new NBC special, they have a chat about the second season of The White Lotus, that just wrapped up the weekend before recording. Tune in to hear their thoughts (spoiler alert!) about the finale, as well as, their dream castings for season three.  And as a special tribute to Dolly, both of the gays will be playing clips featuring the country icon, in the closing segment, "Two Gays Watch Something"! So settle in with some hot cocoa, a warm blanket, and less cynicism than needed, for this special episode!  Also, Zacary promises he didn't dislike the special. He was just haunted by the lingering spirit of the grinch, from last week. 

It's the most wonderful time of the year, unless you're a couple of grinchy gays, then it's time to dissect the 2000's era, Jim Carrey-starring, adaptation of "Dr. Suess' How the Grinch Stole Christmas"! Arron and Zacary dive into this holiday classic that they both love, break down all of the iconic comedy moments, and also spill the tea on all of the INSANE behind the scenes tales on this blockbuster movie! They also share what they've been watching lately, and Arron shares another belting diva, to melt their faces off, in the segment "Two Gays Watch Something". So clear your schedule, or listen while you have dinner with yourself (don't cancel!), and enjoy this goofy, gay time.
