WEBVTT 1 00:00:15.839 --> 00:00:18.320 Coming to you from the dining room table at East 2 00:00:18.359 --> 00:00:22.000 Barbary Lane. Welcome to a special minisod edition of Full 3 00:00:22.039 --> 00:00:26.079 Circle the podcast. I am your host, Charles Tyson Junior. 4 00:00:26.199 --> 00:00:31.039 Martha Madrigal is off being booked, blessed and busy, but 5 00:00:31.160 --> 00:00:34.079 thank you for joining us around the Full Circle table 6 00:00:34.159 --> 00:00:36.960 where we squeeze a few headlines through our decidedly queer 7 00:00:37.039 --> 00:00:43.479 lens and see what happens. Hey, y'all, So today it's 8 00:00:43.679 --> 00:00:46.640 just me. I have you all to myself. But that's 9 00:00:46.679 --> 00:00:53.520 okay because it's my birthday. That's right. Today is my birthday, 10 00:00:53.719 --> 00:00:59.439 is Thursday, August fourteenth, twenty twenty five, and it is 11 00:00:59.479 --> 00:01:05.560 my birthday. And I'm fifty and I like to kick 12 00:01:05.959 --> 00:01:10.200 and I like to stretch because I'm fifty years old. 13 00:01:11.480 --> 00:01:13.799 I can't believe it either, y'all. My knees in my 14 00:01:13.879 --> 00:01:16.560 back definitely can and have been telling me I've been 15 00:01:16.680 --> 00:01:20.200 fifty for the past ten years. So today's been good. 16 00:01:20.519 --> 00:01:23.599 It's been relaxing. Martha's taking me out to dinner tonight 17 00:01:23.640 --> 00:01:26.920 at one of our favorite restaurants, so that's going to 18 00:01:26.959 --> 00:01:29.480 be lovely. Then I have to go to work, but whatever. 19 00:01:30.840 --> 00:01:36.439 Trying to get over being sick, which I just I 20 00:01:36.480 --> 00:01:43.040 why now, But I have my peach ginger turmeric tea 21 00:01:43.760 --> 00:01:47.879 and I have added some MIC's hot honey, so I 22 00:01:47.920 --> 00:01:53.840 am going to be all right spicy and I'm fifty 23 00:01:54.000 --> 00:01:55.519 all right, that's the last time I'm gonna do that. 24 00:01:57.920 --> 00:02:01.680 So I just wanted to to jump on here real 25 00:02:01.760 --> 00:02:05.200 quick because it's been a while since either of us 26 00:02:05.239 --> 00:02:08.000 has been on the MIC, and I just wanted to, like, 27 00:02:08.759 --> 00:02:12.240 you know, do a quick dash through some of the 28 00:02:12.280 --> 00:02:15.960 stuff that's been happening, some older stuff, some newer stuff. 29 00:02:16.800 --> 00:02:20.800 Not going to get into too much of the craziness 30 00:02:20.800 --> 00:02:24.960 that's happening right now. Chill. I'm gonna wait for Martha 31 00:02:25.039 --> 00:02:27.159 for that one, because I know she's gonna have things 32 00:02:27.199 --> 00:02:32.400 to say. Suffice it to say, Orange Cheetoh Monster has 33 00:02:32.439 --> 00:02:38.439 been showing his entire ass, and that's a lot of ass. 34 00:02:39.159 --> 00:02:42.639 Thank goodness we have each other, because I feel like 35 00:02:42.719 --> 00:02:47.280 that's our only hope, you know what I mean. Can't 36 00:02:47.280 --> 00:02:51.080 take away our joy, can't take away our sense of community, 37 00:02:51.960 --> 00:02:54.840 even though that's exactly what they're trying to do. But 38 00:02:54.879 --> 00:02:58.439 they have no idea how to really, because it's obvious 39 00:02:58.520 --> 00:03:02.759 they don't have that for themselves. Nobody loves them, but 40 00:03:02.840 --> 00:03:07.280 they Mama and she might be driving to anyway. Since 41 00:03:07.319 --> 00:03:10.479 the last time we got together, we lost a whole 42 00:03:10.879 --> 00:03:16.719 slew of notable individuals. I'm gonna jump in and talk 43 00:03:16.759 --> 00:03:19.120 about a few of them. A couple of them. I'mna 44 00:03:19.120 --> 00:03:22.400 save from Martha because I know she has feelings. But 45 00:03:23.599 --> 00:03:26.680 first up, this is from a few weeks ago. But 46 00:03:26.840 --> 00:03:30.639 this person was near and dear to my heart. Malcolm 47 00:03:30.719 --> 00:03:35.719 Jamal Warner passed away. That really hurt my heart. And 48 00:03:36.120 --> 00:03:39.560 you know what makes it more tragic is, you know, 49 00:03:40.199 --> 00:03:44.080 Malcolm Jamal Warner passed away at the age of fifty four, 50 00:03:45.039 --> 00:03:51.120 which is, you know, much too soon. Especially tragic is 51 00:03:51.159 --> 00:03:54.840 the fact that this was an accidental death. He drowned 52 00:03:54.840 --> 00:03:59.280 on a family trip in Costa Rica. It's so sad. 53 00:04:00.120 --> 00:04:03.879 Malcolm Jamal Warner probably most famous for his role as 54 00:04:04.120 --> 00:04:12.039 Theohoxtable on The Lisa Bonnet Show. And you know, he 55 00:04:13.000 --> 00:04:15.319 as he grew up through his life and career, he 56 00:04:15.400 --> 00:04:20.000 became an example of a cool dude. You know what 57 00:04:20.040 --> 00:04:25.160 I mean, Capital C, capital D. He had so many 58 00:04:25.360 --> 00:04:29.240 wonderful roles in his career. He had Malcolm and Eddie, 59 00:04:29.439 --> 00:04:35.120 he had Jeremiah. Most recently he portrayed doctor A. J. 60 00:04:35.360 --> 00:04:40.480 Austen on The Resident. And on top of that, you know, 61 00:04:40.639 --> 00:04:45.160 he was a poet, he was a musician, he had 62 00:04:45.199 --> 00:04:50.519 a band miles ahead, he had a podcast, not allhood. 63 00:04:50.560 --> 00:04:54.160 He was doing the things you know. He he was 64 00:04:54.240 --> 00:05:00.000 not done being a force before he was taken from him. 65 00:05:00.079 --> 00:05:04.560 Sin It's very sad. I've never heard anyone in any 66 00:05:04.600 --> 00:05:10.600 interview have anything bad to say about him and his work. 67 00:05:10.959 --> 00:05:14.519 His career has left a lasting impact on so many 68 00:05:14.600 --> 00:05:19.199 of us. I think of Anthony Mackie in one of 69 00:05:19.240 --> 00:05:22.680 his late night talk show interviews where he's wearing a 70 00:05:22.720 --> 00:05:27.800 reproduction of the Gordon guartrail knockoff that Denise made him 71 00:05:27.879 --> 00:05:31.279 for thirty dollars and so many people. You can tell 72 00:05:31.319 --> 00:05:34.680 who's of a certain age and who isn't. Because the 73 00:05:34.680 --> 00:05:37.399 people that were like, why was he wearing that crazy 74 00:05:37.439 --> 00:05:40.800 ass shirt, It's like, Okay, you don't understand the reference. 75 00:05:40.800 --> 00:05:43.240 Stop talking, Sit down for you, sit down for your 76 00:05:43.240 --> 00:05:47.959 fall down. But he will be very very much missed. 77 00:05:48.720 --> 00:05:54.160 Rest in power to Malcolm Jamal Warner. Ozzy Osbourne died 78 00:05:54.439 --> 00:05:58.839 at the age of seventy six. Of course, he was 79 00:05:59.120 --> 00:06:02.639 most famous for being the lead singer of the band 80 00:06:02.720 --> 00:06:10.160 Black Sabbath, ushering forth several generations of greasy haired white 81 00:06:10.199 --> 00:06:13.639 kids who tortured their parents by wailing on guitars and 82 00:06:13.680 --> 00:06:17.959 screaming and microphones in their garages. Then he had a 83 00:06:18.319 --> 00:06:22.240 resurgence with his family and the reality show on MTV 84 00:06:22.399 --> 00:06:28.399 called The Osbourne's where basically everyone from the parents on 85 00:06:28.519 --> 00:06:33.000 down to the youngest children cursed all the time. I 86 00:06:33.079 --> 00:06:35.360 never watched it, so that's really all I know about it. 87 00:06:36.240 --> 00:06:39.079 Ozzy Osbourne was always another one of those cool dudes, 88 00:06:39.759 --> 00:06:43.720 and he was seventy six. I think it's safe to 89 00:06:43.720 --> 00:06:46.439 say that he had what they call a good run. 90 00:06:46.800 --> 00:06:50.839 So rest in peace to Ozzy Osbourne. Hulk Hogan died, 91 00:06:51.600 --> 00:06:57.360 so anyway, Yeah, what is there to really say about 92 00:06:57.800 --> 00:07:01.199 Hulk Hogan? I mean, as a kid, I was a 93 00:07:01.199 --> 00:07:05.839 big fan for the ten minutes that I enjoyed wrestling, 94 00:07:06.600 --> 00:07:09.480 trying to be like all the other little boys. But 95 00:07:09.560 --> 00:07:11.800 then he threw it all away when he lost his 96 00:07:11.879 --> 00:07:14.759 rabbit ass mind and followed the orange Cheeto Monster and 97 00:07:15.759 --> 00:07:20.079 showed his ass as a rabid racist and cult member. 98 00:07:21.160 --> 00:07:23.639 Brother was not the only word he loved to say 99 00:07:23.680 --> 00:07:28.759 with the hard are so, you know, as Moms Mably 100 00:07:29.120 --> 00:07:32.399 famously said, you should only say good things about the dead. 101 00:07:33.000 --> 00:07:39.920 He's dead. Good. So Jacob's Pillow, which is a famous 102 00:07:40.480 --> 00:07:47.399 and historically prestigious dance venue up in Massachusetts where anyone 103 00:07:47.519 --> 00:07:51.160 who is anyone in the dance world has performed, and 104 00:07:51.199 --> 00:07:55.759 they also do this fabulous festival every year where all 105 00:07:55.800 --> 00:08:00.439 the big names and dance come to perform. This year 106 00:08:00.480 --> 00:08:04.199 they were doing this wonderful series where they live streamed 107 00:08:04.279 --> 00:08:09.480 performances and you could watch them for free, and the 108 00:08:09.759 --> 00:08:15.120 a Ley Company was slated to stream a live performance 109 00:08:15.120 --> 00:08:17.800 and I put it on my calendar and everything. Well, 110 00:08:17.879 --> 00:08:25.879 unfortunately that performance has been canceled because tragically, a manager 111 00:08:26.040 --> 00:08:31.959 for Jacob's Pillow was killed a few weeks ago with 112 00:08:32.039 --> 00:08:37.519 an incident involving a dolly moving stage equipment. And it was, 113 00:08:38.080 --> 00:08:41.480 you know, it's just one of those things, you know, 114 00:08:41.559 --> 00:08:46.200 there was a slope surface and we zigged when we 115 00:08:46.240 --> 00:08:51.240 should have zagged, and unfortunately Cat Sirico, who was the manager, 116 00:08:51.679 --> 00:08:55.000 tripped and fell and got run over by the dolly. 117 00:08:55.039 --> 00:09:00.039 It was horrible. They were forty years old. So that 118 00:09:00.279 --> 00:09:03.399 was a very sad thing and I felt that it 119 00:09:03.519 --> 00:09:08.399 deserved to be mentioned. So rest in peace to Cat 120 00:09:08.440 --> 00:09:12.799 Siriko and last but not least on my list, this 121 00:09:12.879 --> 00:09:15.000 is our most recent loss. In just a few days ago, 122 00:09:15.440 --> 00:09:20.759 Danielle Spencer died at sixty years old. Danielle Spencer most 123 00:09:21.039 --> 00:09:25.440 famously known for her role as d Thomas on the 124 00:09:25.480 --> 00:09:31.799 classic sitcom What's Happening, which you know was a foundational 125 00:09:32.519 --> 00:09:37.559 influence on me. She passed away due to complications with 126 00:09:37.639 --> 00:09:44.600 gastric cancer. And it's crazy to think that she's gone. 127 00:09:45.279 --> 00:09:47.639 All these people that like were around my whole life 128 00:09:48.440 --> 00:09:52.200 are starting to leave us. She as I said, she 129 00:09:52.279 --> 00:09:54.879 was most famous for being deep, for portraying d Thomas 130 00:09:54.919 --> 00:09:59.120 on What's Happening Now? But after that show and then 131 00:09:59.120 --> 00:10:03.240 the spin off, What's Happened Now and Did, she went 132 00:10:03.279 --> 00:10:06.480 on to become a veterinarian. So actually I should say 133 00:10:06.519 --> 00:10:10.399 doctor Danielle Spencer. But when I think of d like, 134 00:10:10.559 --> 00:10:13.960 there's so many things that that little girl said on 135 00:10:14.000 --> 00:10:19.000 that show that I still say today, or at least 136 00:10:19.080 --> 00:10:22.279 the essence of it makes its way through how I 137 00:10:22.519 --> 00:10:27.480 talk now, Like, for instance, I just can't stand to 138 00:10:27.519 --> 00:10:32.080 see anything done dumb. I said that just a few 139 00:10:32.200 --> 00:10:34.960 days ago, And I think one of My favorite lines 140 00:10:35.000 --> 00:10:39.200 of hers was she's on the phone talking to her 141 00:10:39.240 --> 00:10:44.120 friend and her brother Roger comes in, played by Ernest 142 00:10:44.159 --> 00:10:46.919 Lee Thomas, and he comes in, is Mama home? And 143 00:10:47.000 --> 00:10:50.480 she goes. When you walk into a house and you 144 00:10:50.519 --> 00:10:53.320 see someone on the phone, you don't come in say 145 00:10:53.320 --> 00:10:57.480 and it's Mama home. You don't come in screaming as 146 00:10:57.600 --> 00:11:03.200 Mama home. That little girl got away with so much, 147 00:11:03.559 --> 00:11:08.960 but rest in peace, doctor Danielle Spencer. So, yeah, we 148 00:11:09.080 --> 00:11:14.840 lost a lot of people. So there's a lot of 149 00:11:14.840 --> 00:11:23.000 bullshit happening, as you all are well aware, and you know, 150 00:11:23.200 --> 00:11:26.919 there's not to say that there's not good things happening. 151 00:11:27.159 --> 00:11:32.120 But I really couldn't come up with for the first 152 00:11:32.159 --> 00:11:35.879 time and a long time, enough of a good news 153 00:11:35.879 --> 00:11:39.639 section that's media enough to actually you know bother talking 154 00:11:40.039 --> 00:11:43.679 about at this particular moment. And it's my birthday, so 155 00:11:44.440 --> 00:11:46.559 fuck it. We're not going to do the cavalcade, but 156 00:11:46.679 --> 00:11:50.120 I do want to have a quick moment of. 157 00:11:51.799 --> 00:11:57.039 Employ people taking bassermain. 158 00:11:59.159 --> 00:12:02.600 So this is from the end of June, coming from 159 00:12:02.679 --> 00:12:06.159 the motherfucker who is the reason why this segment even exists. 160 00:12:07.240 --> 00:12:13.039 I love this headline, gay fraudster George Santos has online 161 00:12:13.080 --> 00:12:18.799 meltdown as seven year prison sentence begins. That's right. His 162 00:12:18.879 --> 00:12:23.120 prison sentence began at the end of July, his six 163 00:12:23.159 --> 00:12:28.080 and a half year prison sentence for lying about everything 164 00:12:28.200 --> 00:12:32.879 he lied about lying. He lied about who he is, 165 00:12:33.200 --> 00:12:36.399 how he is, where he is, why he is how 166 00:12:36.440 --> 00:12:42.960 he is. In the days leading up to him serving 167 00:12:43.000 --> 00:12:46.639 his sentence, he published numerous social media posts in which 168 00:12:46.679 --> 00:12:50.759 he had admitted that he's disassociating, thinking about death, and 169 00:12:50.799 --> 00:12:54.600 threatening to quote bury any journalist who publicly discloses the 170 00:12:54.639 --> 00:12:57.440 prison where he'll be staying. I'm not going to say it. 171 00:12:57.960 --> 00:13:01.879 I'm not going to say it, he says. There will 172 00:13:01.919 --> 00:13:05.159 be an investigation, and whoever your source is in the 173 00:13:05.240 --> 00:13:08.600 Goop or Marshall's office, they will be buried alongside you. 174 00:13:08.759 --> 00:13:12.799 That is a promise, like we're supposed to believe that. 175 00:13:14.840 --> 00:13:18.440 In another post, he wrote, politics and government is dirty 176 00:13:18.480 --> 00:13:21.960 and I deeply regret getting so involved. Some people in 177 00:13:22.000 --> 00:13:25.120 government manipulated me and lied to me. He says, I'm 178 00:13:25.159 --> 00:13:27.840 not trying to tweet my way out of prison, folks, good, 179 00:13:27.879 --> 00:13:31.360 because that wouldn't work anyway. But I sure as shit 180 00:13:31.440 --> 00:13:36.279 will wreak havoc with the truth before then why stop now, girl, 181 00:13:38.200 --> 00:13:41.360 he wrote, I'll be dying in prison, granted by situation, 182 00:13:41.559 --> 00:13:43.279 So I don't want to die and let all this 183 00:13:43.440 --> 00:13:49.000 die with me. Girl, girl, you're a drama queen. You're 184 00:13:49.039 --> 00:13:51.559 a stunt queen. You're a failed stunt queen because your 185 00:13:51.600 --> 00:13:55.159 stunts didn't work. No one believes anything you say about 186 00:13:55.200 --> 00:13:58.600 anything you have to say. But just keep on talking 187 00:13:58.919 --> 00:14:00.679 because I'm sure it'll work it out for you in 188 00:14:00.720 --> 00:14:05.120 the end. So just go to prison, try to shut 189 00:14:05.120 --> 00:14:08.679 the fuck up. Maybe rediscover drag. That'll be a nice hobby. 190 00:14:09.000 --> 00:14:12.080 I ain't got nothing to say other than by girl, 191 00:14:12.360 --> 00:14:15.879 you made your bed and it's lumpy and it's bumpy, 192 00:14:15.960 --> 00:14:20.240 and it's not even a bed because you can't even 193 00:14:20.240 --> 00:14:23.720 be truthful about that. All I can really do is 194 00:14:23.799 --> 00:14:26.879 hold out hope that when they strip search you, my 195 00:14:27.039 --> 00:14:30.840 theory will be proven true, that you are actually twelve 196 00:14:30.919 --> 00:14:33.120 raccoons stacked on top of each other in a trench coat, 197 00:14:33.559 --> 00:14:36.320 and that it's all I have to say about that. 198 00:14:36.720 --> 00:14:38.360 So there is my moment. 199 00:14:38.120 --> 00:14:44.000 Of empoy on people taking bassar. 200 00:14:43.840 --> 00:14:49.679 And main ooh that was tasty. So this would be 201 00:14:49.759 --> 00:14:54.159 the moment when Martha would say, do you have a 202 00:14:54.200 --> 00:14:57.840 fifteen minute fave, and that is when I would say 203 00:14:58.200 --> 00:15:03.759 I do so, Yeah, this week's fifteen minute fave is 204 00:15:05.039 --> 00:15:09.440 it's a recent addition, but it's not a new addition. 205 00:15:09.639 --> 00:15:13.480 I'll explain what that means. So the fifteen Minute Faves playlist, 206 00:15:13.879 --> 00:15:17.879 which you can access on Apple Music and Spotify, is 207 00:15:17.919 --> 00:15:23.600 a living, breathing, ever changing thing. And occasionally I'll come 208 00:15:23.600 --> 00:15:28.919 across a song that, you know, had the playlist existed 209 00:15:29.039 --> 00:15:32.000 at the time that the song was out, it would 210 00:15:32.039 --> 00:15:36.399 have made it. And so I'll go and retroactively add 211 00:15:36.440 --> 00:15:41.759 things into the playlist. So a couple years ago, Martha 212 00:15:41.840 --> 00:15:47.360 and I did a guest appearance on Dustin Holden's Dustin 213 00:15:47.440 --> 00:15:51.679 Can Read and Watch podcast Shout out to Dustin in 214 00:15:51.679 --> 00:15:55.559 front of the pod, and so you know, I've been 215 00:15:55.600 --> 00:16:00.279 following him since, and he has another podcast called The 216 00:16:00.360 --> 00:16:07.799 Rewatch Recap, and he was rewatching the British sci fi 217 00:16:07.960 --> 00:16:12.679 series Misfits and I was a huge fan of that 218 00:16:12.759 --> 00:16:16.200 show back in the day as well. It's about a 219 00:16:16.200 --> 00:16:21.919 bunch of young folks, twenty somethings that are doing community 220 00:16:22.000 --> 00:16:25.320 service for various things they did, and they get caught 221 00:16:25.320 --> 00:16:28.759 in a mysterious storm and then they all get crazy 222 00:16:28.759 --> 00:16:33.440 fucked up superpowers. It's a cool shows. It's worth watching. 223 00:16:33.559 --> 00:16:37.039 I think there's three seasons. You should check it out. Anyway, 224 00:16:37.360 --> 00:16:42.000 the theme song to that show I became a fan 225 00:16:42.080 --> 00:16:45.120 of very quickly. The song is called Echoes by a 226 00:16:45.159 --> 00:16:51.240 group called The Rapture. And you know, besides watching the episode, 227 00:16:51.399 --> 00:16:55.200 I always look forward to hearing the theme song. So we're 228 00:16:55.240 --> 00:16:59.080 going to go out to the break with a retroactive 229 00:16:59.120 --> 00:17:04.359 fifteen minute fait called Echoes by the Rapture. Will be 230 00:17:04.480 --> 00:17:04.799 right there. 231 00:17:07.319 --> 00:17:18.400 Meaning naming him meaning naming him meaning naming you mean. 232 00:17:19.960 --> 00:17:24.200 Setting bread, a pebble chap, common. 233 00:17:24.000 --> 00:17:38.039 Side me, naming him meaning he named him, meaning naming 234 00:17:38.160 --> 00:17:50.480 you mean a common side.

Hi, I'm Dustin and 246 00:18:52.519 --> 00:18:54.960 on the Rewatch Recap, Friends and I will revisit a 247 00:18:55.000 --> 00:18:57.920 favorite television series from years past and break down a 248 00:18:57.960 --> 00:19:00.440 season episode by episode and see if it hits the 249 00:19:00.519 --> 00:19:03.960 scene the second time around. You'll get nostalgia, you'll get trivia, 250 00:19:04.160 --> 00:19:07.319 and maybe a few laughs along the way. Watch along 251 00:19:07.400 --> 00:19:09.880 with us and listen to the Rewatch Recap every Monday, 252 00:19:09.920 --> 00:19:11.839 where most audio podcasts are played. 253 00:19:12.799 --> 00:19:30.000 Let's and we're back. So, like I said before, it's 254 00:19:30.119 --> 00:19:38.240 my birthday and fuck the Cavalcade, So let's just cleanse 255 00:19:38.319 --> 00:19:41.599 our palettes with some pop culture. So, like I said, 256 00:19:41.599 --> 00:19:43.799 it's been a minute since the last time we got 257 00:19:43.839 --> 00:19:47.079 to talk to you, so there's some things I wanted 258 00:19:47.119 --> 00:19:50.680 to discuss and get off my chest. So let's get 259 00:19:50.759 --> 00:19:54.720 right into it. Josh Johnson, who has quickly become one 260 00:19:54.759 --> 00:19:58.960 of my favorite stand up comedians, has joined a lineup 261 00:19:59.000 --> 00:20:02.839 of rotating hosts on The Daily Show, which I love, Love, Love, 262 00:20:02.920 --> 00:20:08.440 Love Love. Josh Johnson a young black comedian. He is 263 00:20:09.119 --> 00:20:13.920 very topical, so topical in fact, that he's able to 264 00:20:14.839 --> 00:20:19.559 come up with whole sets multiple times a week because 265 00:20:19.599 --> 00:20:21.759 he just pays attention to the news and he's a 266 00:20:21.839 --> 00:20:26.359 wonderful storyteller. I love his style of comedy. It's like 267 00:20:26.440 --> 00:20:29.599 he gives you all of the information up top, and 268 00:20:29.680 --> 00:20:33.400 then he goes into the story and just peppers all 269 00:20:33.440 --> 00:20:36.839 the facts. And I just love the way he crafts 270 00:20:36.920 --> 00:20:40.680 his stories and his jokes. And I love that he 271 00:20:41.240 --> 00:20:46.079 is hosting the Daily Show. He's been a correspondent for 272 00:20:46.200 --> 00:20:48.039 the better part of a year and that's been great. 273 00:20:48.640 --> 00:20:53.880 He's just funny and he gives no fucks. He loves 274 00:20:54.000 --> 00:20:58.119 to skewer the orange Cheeto man, as do we all, 275 00:20:58.759 --> 00:21:02.279 and proud of him. Proud of him. He just came 276 00:21:02.359 --> 00:21:05.319 to Philly not that long ago and kept having to 277 00:21:05.440 --> 00:21:09.920 add shows because people were like, just wouldn't stop buying tickets. 278 00:21:10.920 --> 00:21:14.759 I just love seeing his star rise. So I just 279 00:21:14.839 --> 00:21:19.480 think that's wonderful. Big ups to Josh Johnson. By this point, 280 00:21:19.559 --> 00:21:23.759 you probably all know the most recent season of Drag 281 00:21:23.880 --> 00:21:28.160 Race All Stars has come and gone, and the fabulous 282 00:21:28.319 --> 00:21:33.279 Gingermine has been crowned the winner of All Stars ten 283 00:21:34.319 --> 00:21:41.240 and faggots are mad. It's annoying to me, this crazy backlash. 284 00:21:41.279 --> 00:21:44.680 Everyone's screaming gets rigged. It was rigged for Ginger and 285 00:21:45.680 --> 00:21:52.400 Denali was robbed and Georgees was robbed and ch'all, Gingerminche won. 286 00:21:52.640 --> 00:21:59.480 She is a talented, talented performer, singer, actor. It was 287 00:21:59.559 --> 00:22:04.200 always hers to win. And the thing that cracks me 288 00:22:04.319 --> 00:22:08.680 up when every season there tends to be one queen 289 00:22:08.799 --> 00:22:14.000 who everyone says is being favored and there's rigory even 290 00:22:14.160 --> 00:22:18.279 if even if it was predetermined that Ginger was going 291 00:22:18.359 --> 00:22:21.960 to win, she still had to do well in the challenges, 292 00:22:24.200 --> 00:22:27.000 like the saying can be said for when Sasha Colby came, 293 00:22:27.039 --> 00:22:28.960 when everyone was saying, how you know it was just 294 00:22:29.039 --> 00:22:32.200 set up for her to win, you still have to 295 00:22:32.279 --> 00:22:36.279 do well. It's not like, you know, these people are 296 00:22:36.720 --> 00:22:39.599 sucking ass the entire season and then they get the crown. 297 00:22:39.640 --> 00:22:43.119 It doesn't work that way. Now. Were there moments where 298 00:22:43.200 --> 00:22:49.359 I can see the grubby mints of production, Yeah, like, okay, 299 00:22:49.839 --> 00:22:54.400 there was the lip sync between Ginger and Denali and 300 00:22:54.440 --> 00:22:58.440 everyone saying, how Denali wipe the floor at huh we 301 00:22:59.319 --> 00:23:02.400 because of Dragon Grace, you know, shout out to Jasmine 302 00:23:02.440 --> 00:23:07.880 Masters saying that Drag Race is fucked up. Drag We've 303 00:23:08.519 --> 00:23:12.559 gotten accustomed to whoever can do the most dips and 304 00:23:12.640 --> 00:23:17.119 splits should win a lip sync forgetting that, it's called 305 00:23:17.160 --> 00:23:20.440 a what a lip sync. So if one person is 306 00:23:20.839 --> 00:23:25.279 giving emotion and lip syncing to the song, which I 307 00:23:25.400 --> 00:23:27.680 thought was the point, and the other one is moving 308 00:23:27.720 --> 00:23:29.720 around so much you can't even see her face, not 309 00:23:29.839 --> 00:23:34.200 to mention her lips, I'm sorry one is better than 310 00:23:34.279 --> 00:23:39.680 the other. But you know, like I said, faggots be mad. 311 00:23:40.160 --> 00:23:43.759 So all that to say, congratulations to Gingerminge. It was 312 00:23:43.799 --> 00:23:47.960 a long time coming and you deserve it. I've always 313 00:23:48.000 --> 00:23:50.920 been a big fan. I've always been a big fan 314 00:23:51.640 --> 00:23:53.960 and so happy to see her in the Hall of Fame. 315 00:23:56.519 --> 00:24:01.119 I finally got to see a few movies that I 316 00:24:01.160 --> 00:24:04.680 didn't get the chance to so earlier. This year. I 317 00:24:04.759 --> 00:24:08.200 went to go see the movie Opus, starring io ed 318 00:24:08.240 --> 00:24:11.519 a Bery, one of the stars of the hit show 319 00:24:11.599 --> 00:24:15.079 The Bear, also starring John Malkovich, And when I went 320 00:24:15.119 --> 00:24:17.440 to the theater, I'm pretty sure I talked about this 321 00:24:17.519 --> 00:24:19.640 on the show. When I went to the theater, the 322 00:24:20.400 --> 00:24:23.240 sound was messed up and so they had to stop 323 00:24:23.359 --> 00:24:25.720 the film, and I didn't get to see it in 324 00:24:25.799 --> 00:24:29.319 the theaters. And it finally hit streaming and so I 325 00:24:29.480 --> 00:24:33.480 watched it, and I feel like the universe saved me 326 00:24:34.160 --> 00:24:38.880 from experiencing it in the theater. That day because that 327 00:24:39.000 --> 00:24:43.119 movie is fucked up. It's like, I'm not even sure 328 00:24:43.160 --> 00:24:44.680 how I feel about it. I'm not sure if I 329 00:24:44.759 --> 00:24:46.759 hated it. I'm not sure if I let no. I 330 00:24:46.839 --> 00:24:49.759 know I didn't love it, but it's like I can't 331 00:24:49.799 --> 00:24:52.400 say I hate it because everyone in it did such 332 00:24:52.400 --> 00:24:56.559 a good job, like io ed A. Berry was amazing. 333 00:24:57.359 --> 00:25:00.400 John Malkovich of course, was amazing. But one thing I 334 00:25:00.480 --> 00:25:06.240 love about her performance was her face. She gave everything 335 00:25:06.319 --> 00:25:08.640 with her face, so she was one of the few 336 00:25:08.720 --> 00:25:13.440 black people, in particular black women in the entire cast. 337 00:25:14.519 --> 00:25:19.000 And what I love about that is, you know, it 338 00:25:19.160 --> 00:25:22.839 wasn't about her being a black woman, but she got 339 00:25:22.920 --> 00:25:27.279 to be a black woman in that the way she 340 00:25:27.519 --> 00:25:31.119 reacted and interacted with certain people in the film in 341 00:25:31.240 --> 00:25:34.880 certain situations was done in a way that only a 342 00:25:34.960 --> 00:25:38.799 black woman would and her face was all of our face, 343 00:25:39.000 --> 00:25:43.240 Like you could see like her side eye. I don't 344 00:25:43.279 --> 00:25:48.359 know what's better than twenty twenty, but that her side 345 00:25:48.440 --> 00:25:54.039 I deserved an oscar. Her face went from really that 346 00:25:54.160 --> 00:25:58.640 ain't right, Okay, that's some bullshit, Okay, you know what, 347 00:25:59.279 --> 00:26:04.880 and then finally, bitch, I'm out. So it was entertaining 348 00:26:05.839 --> 00:26:07.680 whether or not. I can say I liked it. It 349 00:26:07.799 --> 00:26:12.720 was entertaining, but it's a fucked up movie. The other 350 00:26:12.839 --> 00:26:15.079 thing that cracked me up about the film so John 351 00:26:15.160 --> 00:26:19.200 Malkovich is supposed to be at one point in the nineties, 352 00:26:19.240 --> 00:26:21.920 he was supposed to be like the biggest performer on 353 00:26:22.079 --> 00:26:25.519 the planet. And it's like, okay, so this is a 354 00:26:25.599 --> 00:26:33.200 world that exists without the presence of Michael Jackson, Janet Jackson, Prince. Okay, fine, sure, 355 00:26:33.519 --> 00:26:37.480 but anyway, he is coming back with a new album 356 00:26:37.559 --> 00:26:41.319 and everyone's losing their shit and they keep playing like 357 00:26:41.640 --> 00:26:44.279 the music from back in the day and then his 358 00:26:44.440 --> 00:26:46.680 new stuff. Now, I will go on record as saying 359 00:26:47.200 --> 00:26:51.000 that the music in the film is actually good. I 360 00:26:51.079 --> 00:26:54.319 believe Leland and the Dream wrote all the music, so 361 00:26:54.440 --> 00:26:58.359 it's good. It's it's and John Malkovich actually sings. I 362 00:26:58.519 --> 00:27:03.279 actually want the sound track to this film. However, not 363 00:27:03.440 --> 00:27:07.440 a single song and the soundtrack was like earth shattering, 364 00:27:08.000 --> 00:27:10.880 So that took me out of it a little bit. 365 00:27:11.960 --> 00:27:16.039 But I don't know. Yeah, I guess I recommend it. 366 00:27:17.119 --> 00:27:22.000 Check out Opus. All that to say, I also got 367 00:27:22.039 --> 00:27:25.039 to finally see the most recent entry in the Final 368 00:27:25.160 --> 00:27:30.799 Destination series. Final Destination Bloodlines. I had a little mini marathon, 369 00:27:30.839 --> 00:27:33.319 well not mini marathon, it was an actual marathon. I 370 00:27:33.480 --> 00:27:38.200 watched all of the films and right as soon as 371 00:27:38.240 --> 00:27:40.759 I had finished the last one, then this one came out. 372 00:27:40.839 --> 00:27:41.519 So that was cool. 373 00:27:42.240 --> 00:27:44.319 And if you've seen the series, if you're familiar with 374 00:27:44.400 --> 00:27:48.680 the series, it was very clever how they worked this 375 00:27:48.960 --> 00:27:52.079 entry into the universe that the films take place in. 376 00:27:52.400 --> 00:27:54.279 But you don't have to have seen any of the 377 00:27:54.359 --> 00:27:59.960 other ones to enjoy this one. But they definitely held 378 00:28:00.200 --> 00:28:03.200 true to the to the the folklore, the mythos of 379 00:28:04.480 --> 00:28:09.160 the Final Destination universe. And it was also the last 380 00:28:09.880 --> 00:28:16.240 film appearance of Tony Todd Rest in Peace, and yeah, 381 00:28:16.359 --> 00:28:20.599 you could tell that he wasn't well in disappearance. I 382 00:28:20.640 --> 00:28:23.400 mean it was like, if you've never seen Tony Todd before, 383 00:28:23.880 --> 00:28:26.720 he looked fine, but if you, if you, you know, 384 00:28:27.000 --> 00:28:29.640 if you're familiar with him, you're like, wow. But of 385 00:28:29.759 --> 00:28:34.039 course he was wonderful, and you know, I think it 386 00:28:34.240 --> 00:28:38.200 was a solid film and solid performance to be his last. 387 00:28:38.480 --> 00:28:43.960 So again I recommend Final Destination Bloodlines. It's a solid 388 00:28:44.160 --> 00:28:51.319 entry into the Final Destination ouvra. In fact, we could 389 00:28:51.400 --> 00:28:55.599 swap out that one for the fourth one, which was Booty. 390 00:28:57.759 --> 00:29:00.279 The fourth one was the one the roller. No, the 391 00:29:00.359 --> 00:29:04.799 fourth one was the one with the drag racing, right, yeah, 392 00:29:04.880 --> 00:29:06.440 that one. Swapped that one out because that one was 393 00:29:06.480 --> 00:29:10.920 whack anyway. Finally, I've been hearing everyone talk about how 394 00:29:11.759 --> 00:29:16.559 the spinoff series, the sequel series, the follow up series 395 00:29:16.759 --> 00:29:20.880 to Sex and the City, and just like that is ending. 396 00:29:21.319 --> 00:29:24.319 I never really cared, but someone accused me of being 397 00:29:24.359 --> 00:29:27.559 a bad queer for never having watched an episode. So 398 00:29:27.680 --> 00:29:32.319 I was like, fine, I'll watch the fucking show, see 399 00:29:32.359 --> 00:29:36.400 what all the who ha and whoplas about. I couldn't 400 00:29:36.440 --> 00:29:39.279 make it through the first episode of season one. I 401 00:29:39.359 --> 00:29:42.039
