192. The Adventures of Wong Foo, Queen of the Desert

Were you wee me. Pick myself up, turn no word on and say don't forget what? Don't forget what my mama's sake? People talking pizza, don't begin and tell listen paying your bills, pay them pictures. No Mr.

Can't say. Hello And welcome to another episode of the Family GrITT Emily and I'm Christine. And on this episode we're going to talk about two movies that were kind of born to always be talked to about in regards to one another. Would you agree, come to find out? Yes, uh so the movies in question today.

One of them I had seen, and that is The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert. The other one, yeah, the other one I had seen many many times on cable over and over again was Tuang Fu. Thanks for everything, Julie Newmar. So, as you might guess, these have a lot in common, I mean. Other than they're ridiculously long titles.

Ridiculously long titles that include punctuation and that include a woman's name. Yep, right, both about three drag queens played by three non drag queens. Nineties, so they are a year apart. Yep. There's a lot within the movies that also like you know, there's fish out of water, there's road trip, there's car trouble, and so on and so on.

So you had asked me off Mike a little bit about like, well, how did they come to be so? And again they're really similar, but they're also very much not. I think it's it's kind of that whole like deep impact armageddon thing, right. It happens all the time. Dante's Inferno, not Dante's Inferno, Dante's Done's peak, thank you?

And what was it? Oh? H like this, this is the thing that seems to always happen where something is in the air and whatever film studio put something in motion, as another film studio it's putting something in motion. Maybe they know about each other, maybe they don't. Uh.

The quick from what I can tell in doing most of the research is that Priscilla was made first to Wangfu was in production when Priscilla came out, they were not wang Fu didn't have no until suddenly it was like, oh, there's another film right now out in theaters about three drag queens. How that happen? So they are not it's purely coincidental. Seemingly what happened very different backgrounds. Priscilla is obviously a very Australian movie written and directed by Steven Elliott, who I don't just I meant to dig a little deeper into everything and also kind of ran out of time, I don't think, And I think that is kind of important to talk about these things.

I don't believe Stephen Elliott is gay or is I believe he is a betterosexualsgender man. I could not tell enough about kind of how all the research was done. But Priscilla was based on drag queens in Australia. When it was initially developed, like, he wrote it very quickly, in part because he was like doing other things and kind of killing time. So while he was killing time and he wrote this movie, and the initial plan was that it was going to be filmed with these drag queens, that it was going to be them playing themselves.

And then once he was able to get financing and suddenly the budget was able to be big, and then you had producers and studio involved. They said, no, we need real actors, we need recognizable Ish names. It's not Australian productions. They have to be Australian. So I don't know how much It's one of those things that then like kind of makes you go like ah, because that seems and that's something that has a long history I think in cinema right.

Paris Is Burning is another case where you had a filmmaker not directly part of that community, and then the people who kind of made the impact didn't necessarily get financially compensated for it. There was a documentary called Ladies Please about those drag Queens that this was based on. I have not seen it. I'm only seeing that it was a thing now, so I'm curious about that. So that's a little fortunate, but it's that's Forriscilla.

Wang Fu was written by Douglas carter Bean, who I believe is a gay man and who did a lot of stage things, and he initially wrote this as a stage play. And this one has an interesting inspiration. Was a movie. I was trying to see if it was out there, and I couldn't find it anywhere. There's a was a anti gay propaganda film called The Gay Agenda, which I'm guessing was like nineteen thirty forties, sort of like the reefer Madness of homosexuality, and he wanted to kind of the quote, and this is straight from Wikipedia, but it's I think it says a lot about movie being said.

There's a scene where they show drag queens going through a town and the narrator is warning the viewers that these people will take over your town, and I thought, well, that would be fun. So that was very much kind of inspired by that. And then I think also a lot of research within drag, within drag shows in New York, and I believe being was kind of a New York guy, so it was kind of researched that way. So very very different stories. Priscilla is a much is not a very big budgeted film.

You have Terrence Stamp there, so you have a big actor with Wang Fu, you have even bigger actors. It is produced by Steven Spielberg. The story behind that's kind of fun where he he got the script and wasn't sure about it. He was on a plane with Robin Williams and Robin Williams read the script to him like in full Robin Williams mode, and Spielberg is like, oh my god, we have to do it and you have to be in it. Robert Williams, even Robert Williams was like, I don't think I'm the right for it, but I'll do.

If you need me in it, I'll be in it. But I'm not, but I shouldn't star. And apparently he said he was too hairy for the lead, which is true. So that is so it was a much bigger productive people wanted the roles in Priscilla. The the amount of act Like, think of every actor between the age of like thirty and fifty, every white male actor in the United States was at one point of like auditioned for the Patrick Swayze role, Robert Downey Junior, Kyle McLachlin, like.

The list goes, John Cusack, James Fader, Matthew Ronner, Gary Like, Robert trun Leonard like a lot of them were go Cinard, but a lot of them actually did come in an audition. So John Cusack, apparently when he came into an auditioned, they said he looked exactly like his sister. I can believe that they have very similar facial structures. It's like, I wouldn't I see because I me it surprises me. But then I think, well, if you're putting him in good makeup and you're kind of like sharpening his cheekbones and maybe like just doing some contouring.

Then I think like, okay, now I'm getting there. Well, yeah, he's a beautiful man. He has a very beautiful face. I think that's undeniable, especially like when those younger roles, when we're still in the eighties. Yeah, I think he would have been a very attractive yea.

I personally, so, I think that the casting on that one is pretty thumbs up in my opinion. So I don't have any notes on where we ended up with Tumongfu. Well, so which one do you want to I feel like we'll end up talking kind of both as we go, But I don't. Think you can avoid it. It's just so funny how they how much.

Because I avoided I just didn't see either of them for a long time. And then a couple of years ago, I was like, I should really watch Priscilla because I've never seen it, and we it was kind of a cursed movie. My husband and I we tried to watch it. And the last time this has happened to me was another very important watch. Is this the Brett?

This is Brett's the movie. Again, I didn't know with Thatt's the movie. I had to go through three Netflix discs before I got a good copy that wasn't scratched up. I don't know why people had such anger at that movie. Maybe they want to or John Boyd, I don't know.

But and so with Priscilla, we had a DVD of it and we tried playing it one night and it was scratched me on repair, so we got ten minutes in and couldn't do it. It was on Canopy forever, and one day we tried to watch it on Canopy and it just kept like flickering. It was this weird bug that I have never had on Canopy then or before or since, but this movie. So then finally we just bought the DVD and that one did work. So we did eventually get to watch it, and that was a couple of years ago.

I really liked it. I think I really liked it. But I also think there is a lot about it that is of its time, which is true of both of these films. They are very early nineties in a way that on one hand, I think they're doing the best they can for their time period, but I think they're doing there's other things that they're It's almost like the aside from the casting, which was kind of inevitable at that time. I think in both cases, the actual like gainness of the films I think is handled rather well.

And when you understand the time period, I think you give it leeway and you say like, no, this these are like this, this is forward thinking. It's especially for Priscilla, it's like some of the other things, like the racial things and the women things that don't sit as well. But still, no, it's true, it is. It is a product of its time. And I will say, like to Priscilla's great credit, I think it's not just like a queer movie, gay movie.

It's explicitly a trans movie as well, Like the Terence Stamp character is trans. Is we identify that within the film, whereas in Wang Fu, I feel like we're doing a little bit of offuscation and we're not directly. No, they're not directly engaging. With it, which is even which is fine because it's a much more like family friendly because like I said, I watched it when I was a kid, so it's okay if we don't want to get into that. But watching it now through like an adult eyes and a modern lens, where like I kind of get every everybody's designation.

I understand what we're all doing here. It's kind of like, are these are all of them dry quetes, because it seems like that's maybe not exactly what we're representing in that film. But I get ahead of myself. Oh no, it's I think you have to because I think these are again, just to talk about them in tandem, like it just forces it can. Let me just get this out of the way, please, I am I am shocked to hear your very lovely and well put together report tell me that these were not totally the same thing at one point, because the fact that it is this similar.

Each movie is so similar that it feels like somebody had had to have heard a hook or been pitched something, or even read a treatment. Somebody has to have seen something because they are so similar. Does not seem like it at all. It shocks me to hear that. So then it truly becomes one of those like this was an idea in the pond that people were gonna like electricity.

This was like electricity, though if you think about the time period, because no, I really do think they're completely divorced from each other. I mean, like, sure, it's the early nineties. The Internet isn't as fast. It's not really there a small Australian film studio making a movie. Because when you look at like who was considered in Australia, it wasn't, you know, sure like they were looking at Tim Curry, they were looking at like a British actor or two, but they weren't looking at John Cusack.

Like there was no crossover states to Australia. For that, I get, and I get that it's not just that it's about Drag Queen's Drag Queening. It's not just that it's about drag Queen's road trip. It's not it's three Drag Queen's road Trip. Two of them are established and one of them is very young.

It's the structure of it is so similar that it's just shocking. But I don't like, they're two totally different movies. And I think that's also what makes it so interesting. You could essentially give two people the same exact brief and get two completely different products. And I think what also then kind of forces like there's a certain thing you look at then and you kind of have to engage in a certain way to say, well, wang fu does feel more?

I mean obviously like to say, oh, it feels American and Priscilla. Feels Australian, like yeah, duh, yeah, obviously. But like then you wonder, like how much of it was wang Fu is a studio film. It had a mid sized budget, and again like you're putting Patrick Swayzey and your Wesley Snipes, you are putting demolition Man in this movie. It it I guess the like the more broad appeal of it and kind of that aspect, like is Priscilla made.

I think both of them are ultimately made for are attempting to be made for a wide audience. I don't think either is like we're focusing on the gaze. I think very much they are both going for a broad appeal. But it's I guess kind of just fascinating to like look at the little differences in how maybe more like aspects of Priscilla I think are a little bit feel more independent, feel a little more how do I say it? Like little things like the fact that Hugo Weaving's character is maybe bisexual, is has a wife who is also bisexual, like things like that, Whereas Um wang Fu, the relationship aspect of that movie is kind of very there's a bit of a wall there of we're presenting these characters in a way that is very family friendly, where there's less like you don't you're not thinking of them sexually as much as maybe you are in mong Fu or in Priscilla rather.

Yeah, Priscilla is clearly skewed towards like an adult audience. It's it's a character study about adults that should be enjoyed by adults. That is an adult facing film. Tau wang Fu is like doc Hollywood, but with with like drag queens. It's that that like very safe, easy to follow beats of fish out of water, but everything's better and we weren't sure it was a big top pee wee even and it's that very like Yeah, it's that very like accessible, like digestible like.

And they were treated. You can read the reviews for wang Fu, which is something I did. People hated it at the time, it felt people thought I think even Ebert didn't like it yet. Yeah, like the performance. He thought the performances were great, but that the movie was not.

But there's like and it's this like like inferred triteness to it, which which I do understand that especially early you would you would have just seen Priscilla, you would be comparing them if you were a modern cricket. And so I'm now comparing it and I have to because how can I not. And but like in its own bubble, like Tuogfu, we do need those movies, and I wish we had more movies like that. Not everything has to be this like hard hitting character study about like the struggles that people go through. Sometimes we can just have fun with an interesting character that's like different and like also a person.

So I do appreciate that. But like it's this difference is stark, like there's everything is very glossy and safe in uh Priscilla is there does feel like there's stangerous, yeah exactly, and I and I think that's very interesting and it's cool that like again you get this like it's almost like a yachtzi shake of dice, Like there's we're starting in such a similar place and we scatter into all these different interesting things because like also wang Fu, will will try to hit these like serious beats like domestic violence and like like you know, gender and self acceptance and self and sexuality, but in these very safe, easy ways. But as a kid, I. Liked that interesting. It's because to me that is I think the weakness of Wang Fu.

I think there's kind of two things that but that like and again, this is my first watch. I really enjoyed watching it. Yeah, it like we brand and I watched it together. It was he had a great time with it. I also I was like, no, that was it was so much better than I expected it to be.

And I don't think because I'm part because I knew like a lot of the drag community embraces both of these films for sure. That's that's because so that's also that's a really good point. So now knowing that like other people look at wang Fu and aren't like I find this deeply offensive, right, it's like, well yeah, cause it's it's not and anything that it doesn't deal with head on, like the fact that maybe past Swayze's character isn't just a drag queen but like you know, perhaps a woman, right, we don't really get into that. And like, but again, as like a kid, I don't know that I needed anything like that. I got the message, Yeah, acceptance and femininity isn't bad and all that stuff.

Yeah, I mean, and it's always something Yeah, today. If you want to make it like today, you don't have to make it this way because we've had twenty years of Repaul's drag race or whatever it is now where there are people have a broader understanding, they have more awareness, they have more exposure. In the early nineties, you not to say it was like the start of drag means obviously it wasn't. Drag queens have been around since you know, the early nineteen hundreds and before that, but it was like this this odd era where you had drag sort of breakthrough as like an MTV the H one mainstream type thing where suburban moms in Wisconsin could watch and kind of like talk and be okay with it, and it was there and it was not didn't automatically mean something sexual.

It was sort of like this slow awareness to it. And it makes so much sense that like that is what Wang Fu is doing in many ways, is just here's drag and it's not you know complete. I mean that opening agent. There are drag, there's lady bunnies there like it is a these are drag queens, these are known drag queens of that era, and then taking it and saying okay and now we're look, we have Wesley Snipes like that had to be And I was surprised because when I looked it up, like I because to me, I was like, because I felt the same way a little bit about Guy Pierce in Priscilla like that today, like it's kind of we you know, I like to say we come far, but I'm sure we didn't. But like we've moved past the point of it being a quote unquote brave thing too for a you know, leading man to play gay.

There was a time where it was not something like it was something you had to really consider with your career to do because it you have audiences that might not take to it. And if you're Wesley Snipes, who's you know, had a very particular like persona of an action hero, I was like, I thought it was more controversial him taking this part, but it really wasn't. No, apparently like people don't care. And he talked about like he's like, no, I grew up in La like I went to clubs, like I was around drag culture all the time. This was nothing.

Can I say that he is so phenomenal in this group? Yea, he is so funny and I can't even say he's my favorite of the best because he's not everybody else is doing. They're also good such distinct it really does feel like it's Wesley Snipes and drag, not like everyone's doing the same like kind of mincing gay character, do you know what I mean? Like Patrick Swayze is very stamped in as this very like regal put together That's why I mean, the casting is so good, this regal put together woman. And like then you have John like Guizamo who's so so.

Hilarious again and just very earnest with it, and and it's all it's all so earnest, And I think that's one of the reasons why it works, because it's not like this tongue in cheek look at these guys. And dresses, at least not all the time. Like of course, we have a couple beats where it's like look at this juxtaposition. It's it's funny, but like that's not. All the movie is.

And I think that that is what might have tipped it into not playing well now, is if it just all boiled down to like look at this linebacker and address ha ha ha. But it's it's really not that because honestly. Sometimes they look good too. It's they do. They look like mesty or weird, but like John, like Guizama looks so good.

He looks just like George's. It's ridiculous, Yeah, so much, because George. Just does him I think for snatch game or for a roast or something. I don't remember if it's like, but like it's acknowledged. She knows, so it's okay, Like I am, I'm not trying to be rude, but this is just this like little tiny like Latino girl thing that he's doing that reads very georgious, right, Like I mean, you've.

Seen it, like it feels real and I could like even like why because I watched it kind of like having done no Wrek. I wanted to just watch it with no contexts because I really had such a little for it. And immediately as I was watching, I'm like, I am, like they clearly and especially Sweezy, like they clearly spent time in the drag scene. They went to these balls, they went to these parties, they hung out with them, and like sure enough, Like then immediately I started reading and like, yeah, of course they did. You can tell, you really can, because it's not an impression or it's like truly like oh this is this is just this female extension of something else.

You know. I've seen people think that they're pretending to be drag queens and it doesn't feel like that, you know what I mean. And at that time, like that's what this usually was like when you had like elements of like drag in the mainstream in the nineties, it was always like this kind of joke, yeah, and like this nobody like I'm sure they all like bitched about wearing heels and shaving their legs like in the background, but like you don't move the way like Swayze moves in this movie without respecting what you're playing and understanding Vita is not Patrick Swayze in heels. Vita is Vita. Yes, right, that's and that's what I can see now as someone approaching it in like the twenty twenties being like, what am I gonna get here?

Right? If you sat down, but also if you sat down with no context, if you took a you know, a little gen zer who did not know who Wesley Snipes was or Patrick swayzey was, or John like Ozama was, and you just have them watch it I I don't think they would come away and say, yeah, those straight men playing gay like. They probably wouldn't they have been like, wow, look, I didn't like those drag quans are great like because it doesn't ever feel like their men in dresses. It feels like they are drag queens. Or you're right in the case of I think both leg was Amo and Swazie they're women like.

It feels absolutely feels like what we're playing, right. I felt that too, and like I wondered if we were ever gonna address it, and like I was a little disappointed that we didn't want to get into the nuance of it, but again could also understand what type of movie it was with what we were doing and stuff. But yeah, I get it, it's cool. But like I think that's made me appreciate it even more in Priscilla, when like, oh, we we're addressing it. Okay, cool And the reason for anybody who hasn't seen Wang Fu or doesn't know why I kind of mean that there's part of it is that I think we know now when a drag queen is a performer that kind of puts on a female persona to perform whatever that means to them, whereas in tuang Fu they are presenting as women constantly, just even and like they're worried about getting clocked while they're driving across the country, but still stay dressed as women, which to me speaks to a different thing that we're doing.

But also it was a like a like a very innocent movie in the nineties, skewing a certain way. So I get it, this is what we had. It was, you know, a different time, but was it so different? But was it so? And also I do think that it's fun that everybody had a real character and a personality.

And I really liked that. Wesley Snipes was like just a really big classic film fan. Yeah, oh that was so great. But I liked that a lot. Yeah, it was lovely that.

So with in wang Fu, they end up stuck in this I forget did they ever say what state they're in? Oh, I can't remember what they do, But it's this tiny. Tiny town that's like, you know, two streets, and so they meet everybody in town very quickly, and basically they befriend all the women and the one guy who runs the first shop, right, that's that's in the beginning. Look, it's nothing if not accurate. I mean, yes, yes, And there's a little old woman who they say like, oh yeah, she doesn't talked to anybody, but all she needs is like a little bit of talk about Laura McCall and then she's off with dogs that you know, their best friends.

It's adorable. You have Stocker Channing who is being abused by her husband. And this is the thing that like, I don't I don't think this fully works in this movie. It just like I don't know if this movie was equipped to handle domestic violence. No, And that's when it kind of does again a product of its time tip into the girl powerness of it of like just believing in yourself and Ben, I mean it's not wrong banning together as women we can change things, but like it's a very oversimplification of like a very complex problem.

But I do again, in this very kind of easy breezy story, I don't one hundred percent mind it. But it is strange choice. It's weird too, because I think it's the it's heavier in a movie that almost would have benefited from just going one step down in seriousness, Like I can check if this was PG or PG thirteen, this was PG thirteen. I almost think it could have if you had taken that out and the random maybe were a bunch of men led by Michael Vartan who might sexually assault. If you took those two elements out, this could have been PG or like it probably wouldn't have been because you know many addresses we can't handle that.

Kids will be confused if you But if you just took those two story elements out, this would be could be PG, and it would be like something that kids could watch. But it's you know, that was not quite gonna happen. But I do think I wish it didn't try to be as heavy as it does because I don't think it's like equiped to handle that. Yeah, but that is some ninety shit too, trying to make something a lot more socially conscious just because like which again I would rather have that then where we are now. I mean, we don't know what to talk about where we are now.

But still like I you know, your your ham fist in some social consciousness into something and not handling it. Great, But the message was they're so thunk. Yeah, I mean, thank you. And there is an overall message of like letting femininity into your life isn't like a bad thing, it actually makes things better and and I like and again the way its package could leave something to be desired, but the overall message is solid. Yeah, it's this very like almost literal at a certain point.

Fairy Godmother definitely aspect like there's three of them and they're standing in a way that you're like, is that is that the fairy Godmother's sleeping beauty? And on one hand, like, I don't know, is that very much like today a straight person's way of often thinking of like helpful gaze and like look they come in there are just so fun and they sprinkle joy around, but you know there's more going on. But I'm okay with that because like we didn't have that and the mainstream needed to see that and they get to see it here. It's It's true. The same argument can be made for how like, oh, Queer Eye really boiled gay guys down to a but it's still representation and representation matters.

Like it was needed at a time, and I know, I think we did a reboot of Queer Eye where it was like just Queer Eye, right, it was like for anybody, like we don't have to just be queer for straight people. Yeah, they needed they did, like the Four New Dudes and stuff and so and like kind of tried to like nudget in a more like modern way, which I appreciate, which is what you you do. You take the good idea that somebody had to get representation, and then you make it better as we go along. Everyone, that's what we should be doing. Yeah, I really maybe one day, but I think so because this movie does all these things in a very nineties way.

It's interesting that Priscilla does its own things and it's own nineties white because it feels like an equally nineties movie in a different direction. Very much question for you, have you seen Muriel's Wedding? No, oh, okay, one day we'll do Muriel's wedding. Muriel's Wedding, because that's another movie that I think I have a hard time divorcing from Priscilla. Part of it is Abba, which is very heavily featured in both.

And another part is the actor Bill Hunter, who is Bob. He's the mechanic, he's the dad in I Muriel's Wedding where it's so they he's like almost like the same in many ways, like the same stock character, but into totally in the same universe but going in a completely different direction. Like in Muriel's Wedding, he is like the most despicable man because he is this big fish in a small pond and he is masculine and awful to the women around him. And in Priscilla, he is, you know, like a very man's man in a very similar type spot. In this case, he's more farther in the outback but goes in a very different direction, which I think is one of the most I think interesting aspects of Priscilla is that relationship.

That was my favorite part of it. I think some of the Hugo Weaving stuff was the little I liked his wife a lot. Because I want her movie. But like, yeah, so we're talking about this is interesting, and it just hit me right now. So we're talking about a lot of like male leaning gayness and queerness also trans queerness explicitly in this movie.

Yes, but this movie Priscilla is Hey, everyone's invited because she does have like a queer wife, which I do appreciate that representation. Honestly, it probably would have done more for me if I had seen that movie than to Wang Fu when I was younger because it's just like, oh hey, And I was even surprised watching it now with modern sensibilities that they just straight up came out and said it and like it was no big deal. And I was like, Rad, this movie's way way different than I thought, because I really thought it was going to be a very sad film. I remember thinking that also, and when the movie starts and you get a funeral very early on, right, you get a phone call where it's Terence Staut saying, you know, my husband's dead, and I thought, oh god, it's the nineties.

It's eights, yeah, and I thought that's what we were going to be getting. And then you realize, like, no, I forget what it was. Wasn't it like like a Tanning bed accident or something. Took hills wrong or something too like it was. It was serious, but also not like not like the End of the World heaviness of that.

Like I did think it was going to be an HIV movie as well, which is different, but I thought it was going to be like Drag Queen Philadelphia, which yeah, is not what this movie is at all. It is like a character study and it has like weight and trauma and this, but like it's not like that, it's not heavy and like it's still joy. It's super joy. And something it does that I find very like watching it the second time really caught me was how it's kind of like defiantly joyous, where when you get flashbacks, very very quick flashbacks at one point of at least two of them as little kids, and it's Bernadette as as a child at Christmas where she's switched her Christmas present with her sisters. So it's very truck and it's just it's funny and there's no trauma there.

There's no dad getting like angry, like it's just this moment of like, oh, yep, see she was. She was she always knew, it was always true, it was always there. And then there's a moment where you get flashback of Felicia, the Guy Pierce character, who is I love Guy Peers in this movie. I think he's he like watching it, I was like, because I mean, I've seen Guy Pears and a lot of things. I have not seen much of him in this era.

I think probably the earliest thing I ever sa him then was La Confidential, So to see him in this where he was like he was young. He is so game for it and going for it, and if I'd watched it, I never would have kind of expected that he was not a gay man playing a drag queen. And his flashback is him as a little kid and his uncle is in a bathtub, and it's clear that the uncle is you know, sexually abusing him and saying come here and come touch me, and then he like does that, only instead he pulls the what do you call it, like the little drain stopper in the tub, and so his uncle gets like sucked in and stuck on the bathtub. And again like it's just this what should have been like a traumatic story, the kind of story you expect, I think, in this kind of movie where you have, you know, gay characters talking about their past, and you expect it to well like how did you know?

And this and that, Like instead it's like a bitch, I knew and I was able to turn it on my uncle's head and embarrassed the fuck out of them. Like it's beautiful and it's very fun. Like there is darkness in this movie, yeah, but it's like that I think feels like fitting to just reality. So I think what's interesting because you had mentioned that you didn't believe this writer director uh was was gay or queer himself. And I think what's interesting is that actually surprised me.

And I might be wrong, but either way, I think what's interesting it's just like a larger point about like marginalized groups. Oftentimes we will very much be excited for any representation of a marginalized group, even when that representation is further traumatizing to them. I think of a lot of slave related media, and it felt for for a split second in that bathtub scene, I said, Okay, so we're gonna traumatize my little gay kid, and then we gave that fucking child not just like like like age see and like power, and it was so fucking satisfying. It's like the same thing when when when a man doesn't get one over on a lady in the slasher movie or something. It felt just as good as that and I and I really like was like, yes, this is this is this is empowering, Like don't I don't just if if you need a marginalized group in a movie, you don't have to continue to hurt them exactly.

I really appreciated how like everybody well, it was like you keep saying, we keep saying it's a darker movie for sure, but like there is something so like I don't know, tangibly hopeful about it. Yeah. Well, and I think a huge part of that is when we meet Hugo Eving's son at the end. So, Hugo Eving has a son. I'm sorry, I can't remember what what is?

What is this characters name of this movie. I'm not good with character names anymore. Sometimes they just stick with me, and sometimes they don't. Tick Okay, So Tick has a son, and Tick is like not not comfortable with being a dad. He just he does not know how to do it.

He I guess. And it seems like it's not like he left. It seems like him and his wife had an arrangement of like, all right, you go off to your thing, come back when I'm gonna call you to come back. Then you're gonna come and do this and so on. But Tick just it seems like he has not really like because Chick seems a bit as much as like he's he's a pro, he's been doing this for a while.

He also seems the kind of the least like, I don't know, comfortable in it. Or proud of it or like having fun with it. And he's terrified to meet his son because he assumes his son is gonna take one look at him and just like not be cool with him. Instead, his son is probably what like nine or ten, is like oh cool, hey dad, all right, nat oh cool. I like your dress and it's great.

And then the son ends up bonding a lot with Felicia, which is hilarious because like I Peers is like less mature than the kid. Yep, and it's very funny. Oh, it's adorable, and it's just clear that like, no, like this kid's fine. This kid's grown up with game mom. This kid has grown up at a casino, sees all types of people.

What plays with legos is a kid like any kid. And this is the future, Like this is what you want, you know, to see in children in these kinds of worlds. And I think that really helps like stick the landing of this not you know, it's it's like it's heavier than wang Fu. Although I say that and like I mean wang Fu is domestic violence, this one doesn't. Well, I think that's why they're like doing they're doing like this mix of things.

But it's just the application is so varied between them. Because then in Priscilla you have the like the the love story, which in and of itself wildly progressive. Yeah, like really wholesome and sweet, like hits handled with so much dignity and grace that like I could see why this would easily be someone's favorite movie. Yeah, really really well done. So Terrence Stamps's character, Bernadette is a trans woman and like clearly struggles with like not being something other than like a fetish or like a secret type of thing, and like you know, stumbles into like what could potentially be a really nice relationship, and the movie is just like super supportive of it overall, like, yes, this could be a good relationship and and it's valid for this character to support it, and like yeah in a helpful, happy, nice way.

And it's like, yay, yeah, everything turned out okay for everybody. Well, I mean Terrence Terrence Stamp, who I have always had a crush on. Uh he was, I mean maybe it's just a z Odd thing. Now I have to look at every my husband's to my right, Have any other actors played z Odd that I have not had deep crushes on? No, Okay, but like with Odd Ever on the TV show or anything.

Do I have to start looking up who's played odd? And No? Okay, because as we know, Michael Shannon, Michael Shannon. Wait, did Clancy Brown ever plays odd? Because I know he does Batman?

The look my husband is giving me, that's my name, all of the major Hollywood crutches. I really appreciate this. I just found out that Clancy Brown played Frankenstein once. Yes, and I still have not seen that one. No, I that existed?

Oh? What is that one? The it's a funky title, Stings in it? Right? Oh?

Is it? Is it? The Bride is not? The Bride? Is the Bride with Jennifer Bial's Is that the one?

I think that we're six? I didn't. I did not know that existed. I don't know what happened to me. I feel like like late eighties early nineties genre films that somehow got buried.

A bit and I and then like that, a picture of Sting, like in period costume came across my feet and I went, oh, that looks a little familiar, but nothing else about it rang any belts. No, it's I'm on Jennifer Bules's IMDb because I'm trying to find it. The bride not no exclamation point and like the Maggie Jene Lamo one nineteen eighty five is just the one. Yeah, oh yeah, yeah, this one has Staning, Flancy Brown, Jennifer Bials, Geraldine Page, good yess, Carrot carry Elle was Timothy Small. Okay, all right, we'll do this one next.

Yeah, I mean, you know me, I love a Frankenstein's story, and I am not familiar with this one. So yeah, I've I have long heard I've seen the cover of it, but I have never seen it myself. But yes, back to by. Other crush Sarence Down, Yeah, so good. Clearly like approached it understood that he was playing a woman, that he was playing a trans woman.

There's some interesting like a life you look like the triviaon and like a lot of interesting things about how he like he saw himself as he filmed it, and then when he saw the dailies he was like, oh, I don't look as pretty as I thought I did, and just kind of like fully embracing it. He's just lovely in this and him and Bill Hunter, who he Taron Stamp apparently like said cast this guy, like I guess they'd worked together on something and he wanted him in the part, and it's just this, it's lovely. And the shame of it to me is that the thing that really kind of gnaws at me with this movie is the character of Cynthia. Oh yeah, yeah. It was.

It's yeah, like that's something that you talk about, things that didn't age well and wang fu. This really doesn't a troll in Priscilla. No, and and it's it's really a shame, but like the nineties were wild, guys. It's like we were simultaneously doing really awful shit, like we didn't know it was awful, and then trying to be as progressive as possible. He really vomited out some strange things.

Yeah, Like this movie is so progressive in so many ways, and yet it has a a female like and I mean in general, the female characters, aside from the wife, the female characters in this movie are not all beloved, I think. But Cynthia, who is so Bill Hunter has a and I misremembered it because I was remembering it as he had a like an actual male order bride. He doesn't. He has a woman who thought he was rich and she kind of tricked him into marrying him and then realized he was not and she is. Did they say where she's from?

She had Philippines, but I'm not sure. I thought Philippine. I thought Philippines too. She's so funny though. Oh the actress is hilarious.

Like I get it, it's all based in some awful shit, but like. She's she's very funny. I wish they would have just let her be annoying and funny without just how racial they had to push it, because she was very annoying and funny. It didn't have to be that. Yep.

Yeah, I think that's one where like if you were, like, you know, if you could just do a re edit, like you can tweak things enough to wear that, that worked as a subplot without it making me uncomfortable. In twenty twenty six. She actually played Rita Rapulsa in one of the Power Rangers movies. Then one that's really cool. I want to rewatch it now because I want to see her be reader fuls because that's a way more like a fun character.

Priscilla did win an oscar for her. It's so beautifully filmed. Oh, it's it's gorgeous. It's so I mean it should have been nominy for cinematography because there are shots in this movie that are so stunning. That's what I was cutting in for too, and so rudely stepped on top of you.

I thought you were gonna tell me that it was cinematography or it was not. It is stunning, like like you could just pause it and be like, look at this piece. That's a painting right there. Fucking beautiful. I cannot express to you enough.

If you have no interest in watching this movie but you love visually stunning cinema, especially with a desert backdrop, I implore you to watch this film. It is bananas how good it. Looks because you have a desert background and you have a stunning ten foot long le may train. As you know, you have a drag queen on a bus driving through the desert just being fabulous, and it being shot fabulously. Just so so beautiful, all of it.

It's just and the juxtaposition of this glamour in this natural, like harsh landscape is so fucking good. It's really great. And what I think is great about the glamour too, and this this is true in wang Fu also, is it does feel like drag queens made it. It's these costumes are gorgeous, but when you look closely at them, you're like, oh, that that's flip that's a bunch of flip flops glued together like it is something a dragon would make. They are not.

It's not like Versace. It is Versace by way of drag. And so this one for costume design. If you, I don't know if you remember, this is like one of my early Oscar memories of like when I wonder if I have this in my scrap book. When I was like twelve to fourteen, I kept a scrap book.

I would because we got a lot of magazines. Then I would like cut things out of magazines that I like, like articles from Entertainment Weekly and occasionally like dresses in Inquirer and so on. And this one I always stuck with me was the credit card dress. Does that mean anything to you when I say the credit card dress with the oscars? I know, I mean it's I can picture what I think I can see, but I don't know.

I don't have like a huge memory. Let me let me put it into the. If you google it, it'll come up. Then you will see it. All right, I'm doing it it.

I think it's funny. You have a scrap book. I used to have one about the X Men too, but I don't have it anymore. Let's see, Okay, what do we have. Well, this looks Lizzie garden That.

Lizzie Gardner is the costume designer, her and Tim Chappelle. And they won the Oscar for Oh here's a full length and I had a little rap with it too. So it's like all gold Amex cards. And she has like a little like a gold like shawl and she's blonde. So it all looks very good together.

Yeah, good stuff. So she made so, I mean, she had done the costumes for this, including the flip flop dress. She apparently wanted to do a credit card dress for Priscilla and the credit card I think. I guess it was Amex was said no, not for this movie about drag that we're. Not sure of.

But she had done the credit card dress for the Oscars and it's very cool. Wow. And I remember when this movie won because I didn't I hadn't seen it obviously at the time, but I like knew enough that it was about Dragon. I remember on the red carpet seeing her and being like is that those credit cards? And then like the interview the next day where it was like the credit card dress was a big thing, like that's how you win an oscar, you wear something weird and fabulous.

Yeah, I mean it's it's it is very cool. I apparently a replica of it. Sould that Christie's a replica of it, so like yeah, very iconique and yeah, this like that's a that's a good point. The way that the drag is presented. There's a in tulong Fu again, there's like a very ready to wear that feels very of this, like of the time, very drag race Season one for lack of a better No, it does though, yeah, and then and then the costuming in Priscilla is much more bespoke in like camp and like yeah like big and in silly and which I do love, and I think, you know, all drag is valid, right.

But the dinosaur but nothing is better than dinosaur drag, right, Oh my god at the end when they're doing their show and it's so silly from Jurassic Park. Oh so silly. Yeah, there's a I would say Priscilla is much more of a spectacle and and like Wang Fu really tries to make this like real approachable story. Uh. I keep thinking of Doc Hollywood.

Doc Hollywood is when Michael J. Fox ends up stuck in this little podunk town and he's like a Hollywood doctor. It's right there in the title, and like it's like this, it's this fish out of water in a small town where everybody learns to that they need each other more than they thought. And it really just feels like that with drag Queens. So there isn't a lot of like drag centric stuff in it.

It's more like small town like stuff. I don't know, it's interesting. I don't know how you can talk about these separately. Well, I mean unless you haven't seen both. That's the only way because like I mean a year ago, I could have talked about Priscilla all day long, but now exactly like, it'll be hard to ever talk about Priscilla without also talking about Wang Fu.

It's just so interesting, like like what they do with similar bones and how we end up with different products. Yeah, I'll I'll just find another way to say that differently in ten minutes to prove my point even more. But again, it's just an interesting exercise. It's true because I think you have like, you have more diversity in wang Fu, right, you have you have a black queen, you have a Latino queen. Like, yes, you end up in a very I'm saying, a very white town, but it's not all white.

There are no black people in this town. Like and even that that in itself is a little bit more like, oh good, because Priscilla feels very white. You have Aboriginal characters, you have kind of a fun sequence where they party with them. Yeah, but it does feel like, yeah, this is a very white take on drag. But also it's Australia, like I Australia, I think is a little bit even more so racially separated, especially in the nineties.

Then maybe like and again it's also Sydney to the outback, whereas wang Fu starts in New York City where you were gonna have such a variety. That's very true. And Priscilla too, They really you can see them become more out of water as they go, as they get further from their destination, they become more and more othered. And I think that that's shown in Priscilla a lot more dynamically than in wang Fu, where it's just like now it's a problem, and you knew it was gonna be. A problem, right right, Well, like for Priscilla where they go into a bar and there's no winning over the crowd, right, like Bob thinks, like, no, I used to see these dancers, like other guys like me, we're in the audience, we'd like this, and they know they're like nope, where this isn't gonna work.

Yeah, and it doesn't work, whereas in wang Fu it's like, oh, we know you don't think you like us, but you like us in the next five minutes. It's like you're right, of course we like you. Yeah. Yeah, it's like so it is a bit fantastical. Yeah, definitely.

Okay. What's funny though, too, is I would say that tuog Fu lives in the real world while Priscilla doesn't in the sense that there would be like we it would look like they stop down for five seconds and then everybody would be in full drag and we're like in it. That's true. It's very fantastical in its performance sequence is something. Yeah, their makeup timing in Priscilla is is very quick.

But like that's fine, it's not about that. It's a movie like. They they have a you know, uh this old boss that barely runs, and yet there's also a tanning bed and there are a. Lot of funny Yeah. I also think there are more similarities between these two movies than we even talked about, because in tu wang Fu they end up like having to rent this crappy old room.

Oh god, yes, and then they decorate it. It's like uh fabric disco balls and the same thing with the busy Yep. It's just like making over our space. All these beats are so similar and like so so fun and ridiculous. Yeah, joyous in like similar ways, but but not yeah.

Yeah, weird pairing and yet not not at all because like, yeah, we were. I was. I had suggested Tou wang Fu because I was trying to bump up some of my letterbox stats and I hadn't seen it in such a long time. I haven't seen it since I was a kid, either like on like TBS or something. And when you were like, what should we pair it with?

Like I don't even know what do you even say? Like Blade, I don't know, Ghost, I don't Yeah, where else? I was thinking of going because I think when I said to you, I'm like well, like the obvious pairing would be Priscilla, but that feels too. On the nose, and I hadn't seen it, Like I haven't seen it. I'm like, oh God, damn it, now we have to do this.

It kind of worked though, because like then if we had gone with Priscilla, what would be Like I just feel like they're so organically like good together, Like I kind of did them almost as a double feature, just like two nights apart. It's a really fun double feature. You would think you would kind of get like overloaded on the similarity of the subject matter, but like, nah, they're like great ones. Did you say you watch first this week? I rot I rewatched tuwog Fu Okay, interesting first because I that was the one I was concerned about because I was worried it wasn't gonna play right, and and then when it did actually like hold up, I guess this is how I would put it, Like I was like, Okay, now I'm really excited, like now like I feel good about this whole thing, this organic package now feels really good.

So I was excited to go into Priscilla, even though I thought it was gonna be like sad, but like maybe a little down beat, you know, and uh, when it wasn't it was even better. So it was a really great experience. I think it also helps that Priscilla has a lot of abba. It's does the music is really fun. Yeah, it just it's upbeat and it Yeah, they both leave you kind of like elated into in you just like things feel bigger and brighter and sparklier in a good way.

Yeah, definitely, it's they're they're both feel good movies in their own rights. So yeah, I feel like it's something I complain about a lot, like when you'll people say have you seen this? Or are you gonna watch that? Like I I like horror movies a lot and stuff, but I also like feel good movies, and I don't know that we produce a lot of them anymore, at least not like mid budget. Right.

Well, that's been the big victim of like the last you know, six years of COVID, of movie theaters, of you know, mergers, of everything else. Is that the big loss in movies was mid budget films. Yeah, because it just became make it as cheap as you can, or it's got to be IP and a blockbuster. Yeah, and so many things are like over genrefied, like everything needs to be in this really clear egg hole, and I just think about, like how tou wong fu? Sorry doc Hollywood, But it's such a down down the line of the time comedy And I just feel like, remember when our comedies used to be like just fun stories that have comedic.

Elm and when you can put enough money in that, it feels slightly bigger than it just being a really good script that you were able to film quickly. I think this is doubt fire honestly, Like you're talking about Robin Williams earlier and that was a drag element in it, but like it like, yes, that the star power, the money they putting energy behind like a maybe a more like upbeat fun idea. Yeah, I don't know, it's a thing, maybe we could do it. Well, I'll give you some good news, which is that, uh, Priscilla Too is essentially somewhat in development. Oh really, and I say somewhat my understanding of it, and I'll read a quote here is that basically Steve like they always wanted to do one that, like Steven Elliott and the cast were all like, yeah, of course we do another one, but just you know never things didn't connect and everything.

And then apparently Stephen Elliott and Terrence Stamp had talked a lot, and I will read you a quote from Stephen Elliott where they talked about like what the film basically like they said, okay, you know what, we're gonna make it. And then Terrence Stamp, I think was falling fairly ill. And here's what happened. So Elliott says the movie was gonna be what Terrence's character, Bernadette was going to look like at eighty eight. It took a lot of trial and error, so the clock clicked on.

And then when a when the AI Wars broke out, Terrence was indignant that he didn't want a digital clone of himself playing Bernadette. He wanted the chance to put the character down himself. And I will quote him in this case he said, just in case I don't make it to the start, don't make the start line. Oh so I don't think they actually have a finished script. I think they had kind of the concept of like, here's what, how what Priscilla who was gonna be?

And it sounded like then they quickly filmed, got Terrence Stamp and got him in makeup and brought him back to Bernadade and filmed some of that and have that footage. And it seems like Stephen Elliott doesn't quite know yet what the timeline is to make the rest of the movie, but it sounds like it is will happen one day, that Terre Stamp wanted to do it and wanted to give us Bernadade. So that I think is exciting and interesting and I'm wildly curious what a Priscilla two would look like, what a guy twenty twenties. Yeah, that's yeah. Yeah, I'm surprised nobody's tried to remake wang Fu because I feel like it is very It was a big hit in the US.

It was, it was, I know, it was everywhere, right. I also, we should mention because we did an female director. For Yes, That's that's why I have my one hundred movies directed by women twenty twenty six initiatives. So yeah, Beban Kidrun who has an interesting life post the movie, who went on to basically serve in British Parliament. I think, fun, yeah, interesting.

But wang Fu huge hit. Like everybody I knew references it all the time, and I say, it sounds like the cat like during filming, I don't think everybody got along that well. It was apparently very hot. The director was like eight months pregnant for most of the shoot and has joked and said like, I don't know how my you know, my child didn't come out gay because I was constantly filming in drag this entire thing. But just like hot and hard shooting and you know, wearing heels and all that, but that like other people are like no, but it was fun and everybody clearly gave it.

They're all and you know, good friendships and stuff the but it's weird that this is never I mean, I don't know if I just have not if like things like one of those things where it like when it's development hell or something, but it feels like something you could reapproach. Can I Can I say that? I think ru Paul has remade it over and over and over and over again. Yeah, because it feels like they're going from like this just even in both of them, honestly, like the different contests in them, it feels like, yeah, they're going to like the drag Queen of the Country contest, like the best drag queen in the country, and then the element of the little kid on the bus in Priscilla is like aj and the Queen that Netflix.

Oh, I forgot every time I kept yelling. I don't even think I took notes. I just kept yelling this every every rue Paul prophet. Yeah, yeah, very funny. But I think that So they're making a drag race movie.

I don't know if you know that. Oh, I did not know that. There's a bunch of drag queens in it, and like it's like a it's like a real thing. I sorry, I don't know the name. I'm not gonna look it up.

But it's like a real thing. So I don't know. Maybe we're getting there. Yeah, I honestly think it's surprising that it's taken this long force. Speaking of RuPaul, you know, a lot of that bubble that burst in the nineties was she was the driver in the chase face of it.

She's not the only drag queen that's ever lived. But I don't I don't particularly enjoy her at this point. I thinksover it's just. Like she did it, and it's undeniable that she did it. So I actually think with the like the like horde of talent she's kind of a masked and unearthed in the last decade or so.

I'm surprised that we don't have more. Yeah, remake this today with Georgi's and I don't know Bob and god, who who Who'd you cast a Sweta? So I did it in my head. So it was Rose Mohart and Georges was my cast of Okay, they're very funny, but also it's just like we're here. Somebody listening is in screaming.

It's also just like we're here, and we're here. They go to a small total yes and make everyone realize that drag is good, which is just like what happens in that. I could not remember the name of that show, and I kept all week. I kept thinking of, like, oh, it's just like that drag Race comes to town, drag You. No, it wasn't drag you, drag Town, Dragify my town, make my town.

Like I could not. I was going through every iteration of what that title could be, and I never forgot to thank you. But like, it's very reminiscent of like every interesting plot point I feel like has been used as inspiration or feels like it's informed some kind of other draggy thing and which I think is cool, interesting and goes to show just how like influential this type of media and representation can be. Like people still have latched onto it in really interesting ways, like the ultimate showing of like of like rural acceptances to roll into a town and put people in drag. Well, it's wild.

Now I'm just mad because as much as like you know, we're both film people, we don't need remakes, we don't put the BA, but just fucking do it because pay people, I know, make a movie that gets money to do you everybody involved? How so your cast you said you're doing Georgia's Yeah, say, and who's the third mo Heart? And our Wesley Snipe's character who can't think of mony? She used to go buy Monique cart she was on the show, Okay, Okay, So I just think I just think, like there's something so funnies in this. Oh god, yeah, I'm gonna do Sasha Colby's Vita.

Okay, I'm I think Exchange. I think that's really solid. I don't think we're just I don't think you can go wrong really because like it's such a fun character and like then the little nuance about like the classic cinema thing. Even if if you remade it, you could make that be something equally as like silly or funny, because like a lot of like you know, gay people like horror movies, so that could be like a fun thing. I don't know, there's a lot of nobody has money, right, isn't that all nobody wants to invest money and stuff?

I would throw money at like a really well done version of these stories. The problem is like, and we don't know what the new drag Race movie is going to be, like what the budget's going to be like there, but then before that you had like the Bitch You Stole Christmas. I don't know if but like that's or like a very the Brady one. I think not right, but didn't nobody didn't nobody get paid from that one? Maybe, but like you could tell that they didn't really put like the money screen screen it.

Yeah yeah, so like just put a little bit of money in time and I'll be handing you stacks of cash same same yeap? Oh well what a what a lovely pairings turned out to be. Truly a pleasure. Yeah, that's it. Don't fight it when things seem like they're lining up too obvious.

Don't fight it. That is a wonderful message, Like you're like, oh, this seems like two on the nose, Like maybe there's a reason for that and you should just do it. Yep, even like the way, just the last thing I'll do is like go over some of the other quotes I found. There is a delightful interview that is again like there's things about it that, like you read it today, you're like, ah, well, we would have said things differently, but it's fascinating. It's an interview for The Advocate, which is a gay publication, and it is Charles Bush interviewing Patrick Swayze.

And Charles Bush apparently like said like oh yeah, Like I was also like I auditioned for Vitat because there was a time when they were gonna put drag queens in the movie. And Charles Bush is if you if you don't know out there, like did Psycho Beach Party is a very very famous uh a drag queen writer, very funny. Yeah, Psycho Beach Party is probably like the most crossover thing that you would know him him. I think he was by him from but it's just it's a great conversation because it's like it's a it's a very it goes into depth. And again there's things like Patrick Sacy says that like today, I think something like with you know, we talk about things differently, but he really goes into how why he wanted to do the movie, how he really found when he did it, like it did connect him to his wife in a whole different way.

That he understood the character because he grew up dancing in Texas, so he was constantly around gay people and constantly also bullied by like you know, the kind of people that bullied dancers, and he so he felt like very much much that he kind of fell into it. And I think also Patrick Swayzey as a person has always been a fascinating like sex symbol because he is so graceful and there's a femininity about him that this movie like beautifully taps into and it just works perfectly. So I'll try to remember to link that in the show notes because it's a great read and just one more element that you watch, you're like, yeah, like the people they understood what they were doing in this movie and all the actors and again it's the same for Priscilla these straight cisgender men were worldly enough and sensitive enough to understand that what they were playing was not a joke, was something that was a real experience that wasn't just about also like nailing the gay experience, but was also about understanding womanhood and maybe a bit of what it means to play a woman versus just what it means to play a man in address, and these are just lovely little portraits of that.

They're very funny. Yeah, I agree that it does. It does a lot of layered stuff, and that's why, you know, maybe maybe it would have played just as well with with different casting, like if we had Robin Williams Kyle McLachlan plugged in, But like something about the three of them just really work, like this is the way it was supposed to be. Yeah, all right, they are. Both of these are out there streaming in different places.

I know Priscilla's on Canopy. Priscilla was on Amazon Prime and then left. I think like during this week, wang fu, I think I had to rent on Amazon, so I'm not sure where it's at, but it's these movies are findable, the. Yeah, they are. I think.

I think we own one of them and it was the first time we opened it. I don't know. It's a good reason if you have media that you're not opening immediately upon purchase, and this is the time to break it up.
