Bonus video! King Tut's mysterious poem (Patreon)
Content
Hello there! In this week's bonus video, we're diving into some of the more obscure work by Victor Buono, the gay actor you may recognize as King Tut on Batman or as the uncomfortable pianist in Whatever Happened to Baby Jane? As it turns out, in addition to being an excellent campy villain, he was also a very charming poet ... although Johnny Carson's audience clearly has NO idea what to do with him. Also this week: I'm taking a closer look at some clips sent to me by Patrons, including a fun catch regarding a nebbish from a gay bathhouse; and also sharing a fun sly reference by Nathan Lane at the Tonys. What could be gayer???
