Hello there!

Here's a Q&A/feedback video for September, and ohhhh boy do I have a lot to share this month. Lately you've been sending me a lot of suggestions for stuff that I should check out, and I have to say you all have wonderful taste -- so I'm going to pass many of those recommendations right back along to everyone else. Those recommendations range from campy British plays-turned-into-films, pantomime, queer horror with a particular emphasis on Hitchcock's homos, and a fascinating 2002 film called 8 Women that's a gorgeous throwback to Hollywood's classic golden-age comedies -- no small feat, considering it's French. And more!

I'm really delighted to find that members of this Patreon have such similar taste in fun pop culture history, and I hope you all enjoy each others' recommendations! Please keep sending 'em in, and I'll keep passing 'em along!

(Also, just a quick correction -- in the video, I say that the new Some Like it Hot video is coming this Sunday, Sept 6, which is wrong -- it should say Sunday Sept 3rd. Sorry about that!)

If you do a deep dive on Victor/Victoria be sure to track down the blu-ray/dvd version that has the commentary track with Julie Andrews and Blake Edwards (RIP). It's a really great listen and has some valuable insight into the issues they had getting it made. Edwards also notes the one change he regretted making to the script out of fear the studio wouldn't allow it. It makes the line "I still don't care" much more meaningful.

Along the lines of Cop Rock, there was the mini series Blackpool (called Viva Blackpool when it aired on BBC America) in the UK (with fantasy musical numbers) that had a very short lived (7 episodes filmed but only 2 aired), Hugh Jackman-produced US version, Viva Laughlin. https://youtu.be/9vtonEFBeZk

Awww amazing , and very timely. I’ve just joined the patreon, love the documentary, what a performance! It’s made me come to the conclusion that in the UK, we love a camp, funny, warm men , but you have to wear a suit. The only exception seems to be Julian Clary in the last 50 years. Plus pantomime is indeed so hard to describe. I’m a drag artist but also pantomime dame. In fact I did Britain’s Got Talent last as part of a pantomime Dame group Damenation , and I often wonder what the rest of the world thinks of this, but the description of the Muppet show. (which was filmed. I think at Elstree in the UK in the 70s soooo you can really feel the English theatre and pantomime family influence. And it’s still a TV studio. The BBC use it a lot, including the long-running soap opera, EastEnders) it’s a wonderful analogy, so it is indeed like the Muppet show doing a fairytale… a great way of putting it. Love the channel and I’ve learnt so much and I’ve recommended the birdcage video to friends in the cast of La Cage aux Folles revival that’s at Regents Park open air Theatre at the moment in London

I loved "Remember WENN." So glad that it's now finally streaming after being MIA since AMC abruptly canceled it.
