IN THE CAN: A Queer Cinema Podcast

Welcome back to IN THE CAN: A QUEER CINEMA PODCAST, our time to dig into the films that shape us.This week, we're hitching a ride in a '67 Cadillac Deville and heading for Snydersville. Episode 2 is all about To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything! Julie Newmar (1995): the sequins, the sisterhood, the small-town makeover, and the drag queens who changed everything just by showing up. One of us has loved this movie since day one, the other has slowly fallen for it over the years, and we dig into how our relationship with it has changed and what it gets right (and wrong) about queer community. Then we take a detour into Days of Pentecost, another 1995 drag road movie about three queens whose vehicle breaks down in a rural area, this one a high-camp drag queen exploitation road musical inspired by Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill! Listen to find out how it all connects, and so much more.Your hosts:Derek Le Beau, the creator of Queer Cinema Archive.Heather O.
