Episode description

If you thought John and Magnus were done with Fran Drescher after a Summer Short about The Nanny, you were sorely mistaken. The Queen of Flushing and of self actualized but still incredibly femme queens everywhere also had a rom com film work called Beautician and the Beast. And though it sounds like Beauty and the Beast, its more a fun homage to moonlighting type romances ala The King and I.

Tune in as John and Magnus discuss why self actualized women make movie reviewers uncomfortable, how being true to yourself can inspire those around you, and why just because a film is a cotton candy genre piece - it can still be meaningful and have an audience that loves it dearly.

Also, Joy Miller is just a fun name to say with an Eastern European accent.
