Sewers of Paris: I Don't Want to be Part of the Straight World (Ep 519 - Freaks/Alexis)

My guest this week is Alexis Langlois, director of the film Queens of Drama β a musical love story about two performers who enter a forbidden romance behind the scenes of a pop-star competition. Alexis has been making films with a troupe of irregulars for years, inspired by John Watersβ Dreamlanders and the recurring actors in the films of David Lynch. His style is scrappy, independent, political, and very queer β¦ so you can imagine his surprise when he was invited to present his latest work at Cannes.
And β if youβve been watching the latest season of Drag Race All Stars, youβve seen Bosco and Irene the Alien absolutely stealing the show with great looks, funny banter, and a mischievous friendship. And you can get even more of that Irene and Bosco magic β having an absolute riot playing Dungeons & Dragons. A couple years ago Bosco and Irene joined me and my partner James for a D&D adventure, and we just posted the full audio for you to check out. Over six hours of these two drag stars on a fun, chaotic fantasy romp. You donβt need to know anything about D&D to listen β itβs basically like an audiobook that you can put on to enjoy while youβre doing something else. I think youβll love it β Hereβs a link: https://youtu.be/rD8tJTtAMYA
