But I'm Julie Newmar, Thanks for Everything!

Welcome back fellow movie nerds! Please join us this week as we discuss two fabulous classics to kick off Pride Month! Andra is covering the indie But I'm a Cheerleader (1999), and Shelley is covering To Wong Foo, Thanks For Everything, Julie Newmar (1995). These two hits are a couple of our favorite LGTBQ+ flicks that have had a significant impact on our culture. Jamie Babbit's "Cheerleader" has gained traction as a cult sleeper hit since its release and portrays genuine Queer relationships as well as a satirical look at conversion therapy culture. Wong Foo was released to a mainstream audience in 95' and has since received both positive and critical reviews as it portrays the cross-country trip of three Drag Queens making their way to a national pageant. These films are excellent and will leave you laughing with a full heart!
