Dolly Parton & Tim Curry: The Loss of Two Legends

A Drag Queen's Big Brother Betrayal
Ding dooong, two chronically online millennials calling! The world continues to be our oyster and yes, you SHOULD interpret that as yonic imagery.

Will a drag queen get dragged in the Big Brother edit? We
The Odyssey is the LOUDEST (and Best) Movie EVER

The (Predictable) Downfall of the Mormon Wives

We’re staying young by trying new things and feeling l

Episode 19 - Finally Discussing the Gay Hockey Show
