Gloria Estefan was right. The cross-dressing rhythm IS going to get you.

Picture it. South Beach, 1996. You’re a young straight man in love with the daughter of an imperiously conservative politician. Add to this equation that your parents are gay partners who own and star in a South Beach drag club. You and said daughter are engaged and now it’s time for your perilously opposite parents to meet one another. What do you do but turn your gay parents into a Lucille Ball-level illusion of traditional heterosexuality?

Throw in a shoeless, half-dressed Guatemalan and you’ve got yourself an outstanding movie.

In this comedy classic, no one makes a more hilariously dramatic couple than Robin Williams and Nathan Lane. Don’t agree? Take some Pirin tablets and settle down, ya queen.

Throw on your cutoffs and your best wig. In this exciting episode, the gang (and special guest host Amanda) discuss The Birdcage!
