Paid in Puke S10E8: The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert

On this episode of Paid in Puke, we're having a gay old time in
the Australian outback with Stephan Elliott's 1994 debut feature,
"The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert", starring Hugo
Weaving, Guy Pearce, and Terence Stamp. It tells the story of two
drag queens and one trans woman who bring their cabaret act
across the country to places both receptive and dangerous. The
movie has some Hot Probs (including an inexcusable Asian
stereotype character), but it also served as a pioneering film
queer cinema, despite the cis maleness of the three lead
actors. 


We're joined by special guest Lynn Harris: writer, producer,
standup comedian and founder and CEO of Gold Comedy. We discuss
the origin of pride parades, the proverbial desert that is trans
representation, how far drag has come since the 90s, and some of
our favorite modern queens.
