サマリー
あらすじ・解説
As usual, we get a recap that is basically a description of the VHS tape before launching into our discussion on The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas.
Darcy discusses how she first saw it and why it was her pick for this episode. Joe, Katie, and MJ talk about the film's camp status.
Further topics include:
- the odd demonization of gays as seen in the Dom DeLuise character Melvin P. Thorpe
- the real life drama of the Chicken Ranch
- how much we love Dolly
- how the gay football team helps define its camp classic status
- the Mona-Ed Earl relationship
- weird racial tropes of the 80s
- its potential copaganda status
- departures from the stage play
- casting
- Charles Durning's WTF oscar nomination for his role of the governor
Then we cap it off with some rapid fire trivia questions, followed by more open-ended questions.
As always, we wrap the episode up with some closing thoughts.
