Wigstock: The Movie (Episode 81) - Hot Date with Dan and Vicky
A documentary film gets the Hot Date treatment for the first time in the show's history. And not just any documentary. Dan and Vicky take a look at director Barry Shils' chronicle of the NY drag celebration Wigstock with 1995's Wigstock: The Movie. Culled from footage taken at the 1993 and 1994 gatherings, Shils creates a portrait of the event and the incredible drag performers that bring it to life. They include Lady Bunny (also a founder), Joey Arias, Mistress Formika, Candis Cane, Jackie Beat, Lypsinka, and RuPaul. Along with the film, your hosts also discuss some recently seen, including Bird Box, Death Wish 2018, Vice, A Star is Born 2018, 1981's Southern Comfort, Black Mirror: Bandersnatch and You Were Never Really Here. Listen for Vicky's takedown of Lady Gaga and her incessant crying, Dan's butchering of politically sensitive gender pronouns and a tribute to the late, great Alexis Arquette. Don't wig out! Tuck yourself in and enjoy Hot Date 81: Wigstock: The Movie. Then leave us some feedback.
