This week we're finally covering two of queer cinema's most famous road trips; To Wong Foo and Priscilla Queen of the Desert! (We know these aren't the full titles of these films, but brevity is everything when you have a character count.) One film beautifully showcases the Australian outback, features Oscar winning costume designs and three characters with secrets and their own hero's journey. The other stars Patrick Swayze and Wesley Snipes! How do these films hold up now? Are they cult classics or a patronizing story about magical drag queens who show up to solve everyone's problems? Chicago queen Alexis Bevels joins us with our newest contributor, Josh, to discuss all this, and of course Guy Pearce's body.
