Description

Take a hit of that Maui Wowie, and pour yourself a cup on ambition, because we made it to 200! We invited over author Helen Ellis (American Housewife, Kiss Me In the Coral Lounge) to celebrate the occasion, and watched 9-5! Staring the dynmatic trio Jane Fonda, Lily Tomlin, and Dolly Parton it's one of the most beloved feminst texts of cinema history. Delivering major laughs, and biting social commentary, these three ladies are our Avengers of the 1980s. We talk about the pussy bow situation on Jane, Lily's pitch perfect comedic timing, and how Dolly knocks this debut performance out of the park. Seriously, some of Dolly's lines still have us cackling. Dolly saying,  "Could you come back her for a second?", or her hog tying Dabney Coleman, are chef's kiss perfection. We talk about the incredibly satisfying set ups and pay offs of Patrica Resnick and Colin Higgins's script, and what has and hasn't changed about this tale of workplace revenge. Are your work bestie really your true besties unless they co-conspire with you to hide the body?  Thanks for listening and don't forget to subscribe, rate and review us on Apple Podcasts! www.patreon.com/moviesthatmadeusgay Facebook/Instagram: @moviesthatmadeusgay Twitter: @MTMUGPod Scott Youngbauer: Twitter @oscarscott / Instagram @scottyoungballer Peter Lozano: Twitter/Instagram @peterlasagna

This is the podcast where we watch a movie from our past that had a lasting impression on our little gay lives.  If we had no business watching it - we stole our parents VHS copy and watched under the cover of night.  If a diva gave a rousing speech - we memorized it and lip-synced it at a talent show.  Join Scott and Pete each week for a look back at the Movies That Made Us Gay!
