14. Another Gay Sequel- Season 1 Finale

It’s the season finale of Video Queens, and we’re taking you back to the beginning with the sequel to our pilot episode, Another Gay Sequel. Is this the worst movie we’ve watched? Patrick certainly thinks so, and goes through the five stages of grief over having watched it. Cameron tries to rescue the core concept and finds a silver lining in a few of the film’s cameos. There’s lots to unpack in the problem attic and make sure you stick around till the end because we’re giving out Oscar style awards to the best and brightest performances in the movies we’ve watched this year.

12. Torch Song Trilogy - Fierstein Chat

This week the Queens watch Harvey Fierstein’s Torch Song Trilogy. The episode is pretty much a thin pretext for Cameron and Patrick to work on their Harvey Fierstein voices, but it really pays off! There’s also lots of good history stuff about the history of drag. Up in the problem attic we’re more interested what’s not in the boxes: bi phobia and dead queer characters.

10. Pink Flamingos- Hard to Swallow

Its week two of our pride month drag movie marathon! This week we watched John Water’s classic Pink Flamingos, staring the legendary Divine. Cameron struggles with his vanilla sensibilities and his appreciation for the impact of John Waters. Patrick explains his take on the egg man and spends most of the movie waiting for the famous poo scene. We’re not sure where the problem attic begins and ends with this one but we’re going to give it a try.
