In this episode, we are exploring celebrating PRIDE with a discussion around drag, horror and DRAG QUEEN HORROR! With the popularity of the transgressive drag queen competition Dragula (2016-Current), and the recent release of indie film Death Drop Gorgeous (2020), we will show you how Horror and Drag are a delightful match made in HELL!
You can stream both Death Drop Gorgeous and Dragula Seasons 2 through 4 on Shudder. As well as buy a copy of Death Drop Gorgeous https://www.tlavideo.com/dvds/2910396/death-drop-gorgeous. Support Indie artists!
Enjoy and welcome to our dark side…
