    Ayatollah You So... (w/ Annam Choudhry!)

    The haunted hijab from Babak Anvari's UNDER THE SHADOW (2016) scared the pants off both myself and my wonderful guest, Louisville comedian Annam Choudhry. Perhaps this is why the first few minutes of our chat revolve around our bladders instead of the film we covered? But then we get right into it! Kind of. Follow Annam! on Twitter @AnnamLaughs and IG @annamnms And Me! on Twitter/IG @joshuasimonsays The Patreon: www.patreon.com/gagpod TW: discussions of fictional and real-world violence/trauma. AKA: The Usual. Finally: Thanks for listening! I love you! Rate and subscribe and junk!

    Parker Posey is a Gift (w/ Ely Kreimendahl!)

    Queer Millennial Mom Comic (Momic?) and all around bada$$ Ely Kreimendahl talks about Creed, stimmies, and The Wilds, before we gag on horror cinema's intro to the new millennium: SCREAM 3 (Wes Craven, 2000). Follow Ely on Twitter and IG: @elykreimendahl Follow Me: @joshuasimonsays Support the Show! www.patreon.com/gagpod Lol, remember the year 2000?? Fun times. What day is it today???

    Every Wrong Choice (w/ Yamini Nambimadom!)

    Is CATS a horror film? Technically no, but it IS a horrifying film. Comedian and volunteer feline researcher Yamini Nambimadom discusses why Tom Hooper's 2019 Xmas release was a warning of the nonsense year that followed. Not that 2021 is shaping up to be much better... this episode was obviously recorded well before recent events at the Capitol. But hey, at least he can't tweet anymore, right?

    The Rocky Horror Clip Show (w/ Christian Luu!)

    This episode was a long time coming (recorded BEFORE November, omg) but I had so much fun gagging on THE ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW (1975) with comic and writer Christian Luu (@christiandluu)! Also lots of distractions, including Controversial Broadway Opinions, our favorite Action Heroes (and their d*cks), and the reason I wore an underwire bra nearly every night for a whole month. Follow me! @JoshuaSimonSays Support the Pod! www.patreon.com/gagpod Stay safe and stay sane. You can do this. And finally, send Matthew Morrison to Gitmo (or just Will Schuester? Matt's fine, I guess).

    My Father, John Waters... (w/ BJ Colangelo!)

    Writer/Director/Polymath of Scares BJ Colangelo ("POWERBOMB") drops in to talk about father-of-filth John Waters' PINK FLAMINGOS (1972). We only go off track to discuss important things like finding queer- and trans-friendly doctors, how to do a B'more accent, and trashy reality shows! Plus plenty of fangirling over Mink Stole, Divine, Dracula's Daughter, and more. Follow BJ @bjcolangelo for more of her writing and film news, and check out her and Harmony's pod, "This Ends at Prom." Follow ME @joshuasimonsays or www.patreon.com/gagpod and rate and subscribe and junk! Don't be a sausage d*ck! Happy Turkey Time, gremlins. Stay safe and stay sane. Luv y'all.

    Vitamin Cuck (w/ Arielle Dundas!)

    It's that time of year again (Fall). The kids are back to school (not really!) and suburban life remains pristine (incredibly untrue!). New Amsterdam's own Arielle Dundas zooms by to talk Patriarchal Horror THE STEPFORD WIVES (Bryan Forbes, 1975). Plus: The similarities between Florida and New Jersey! Organic vs. Store-Bought Women! And, most importantly: Can men grow and develop as humans if they are born straight? All this plus the 2004 remake, which is too gay not to mention. Bette Midler is there, for crying out loud! Follow Arielle @ArielleDundas !!! Follow MEE @joshuasimonsays and join my patreon fam! patreon.com/gagpod CW: SPOILERS from Stepford, plus misogyny and all the b******t that entails... Be sure to like and subscribe and junk! Don't be a dick! In conclusion: Get rich. Get a plane.

    Justice 4 Midge (w/ Rebecca Kaplan!)

    Quarantine Queen Rebecca Kaplan (Glass Houses Comedy, every Tuesday!) talks the ART of comedy, Hitchcock, and (of course) the rampant misogyny of both! Oh boy is VERTIGO (1958) a wild ride... CW: Spoilers for this classic gag start at ~25:00, plus murder, mayhem, and a dizzying fear of heights. FOLLOW Rebecca on Twitter and IG @RebbecaTKaplan and moi @joshuasimonsays Rate and Subscribe and junk! And VOTE. Don't sit this one out, gremlins. And finally: MADELINE KAHN 4 EVA.
