Rose and Fran saw the Cats revival on Broadway, and despite a range of trepidations and doubts, the show overdelivered in ways we could barely squeeze into the episode. We share a bit of background on the musical and how one of the longest running shows on Broadway transformed into this modern iteration. 

Also discussed in this episode:
Rose’s recent viewing of The Mysterious Gaze of the Flamingo 
Fran’s recent viewing of Blue Film
Mannequin starring Kim Cattrall 
Assigning homework for the virgins: Go see Obsession and we’ll discuss!

A new pop culture podcast with a mix of news, cultural criticism, and comedy through a queer-trans lens, hosted by Fran Tirado and Rose Dommu.
Though they are best friends now, Fran and Rose grew up very differently. Fran was a cult-ish, sheltered Christian camp counselor and Rose had a penchant for writing deranged fanfiction. Now they’re both godless heathens taking a look back at the formative classics that popped their cherries and made them who they are.
Each week, the show starts off with a breakdown of the week’s pop culture news, then does a deep dive into one cultural object that one of them might be experiencing for the first time. They’ll also invite writers, comedians, activists, and entertainers to help them break it down.
