#29 THE QUEEN
55m · PublishedIn episode twenty-nine of Gay Card Revoked, Rob and Robbie go back to 1968 and watch the visceral and campy Drag Queen beauty pageant of 1967, The Queen, which is a lesser appreciated piece of LGBTQIA+ cinema.
The boys look at the gay life before Stonewall, drag culture as a community foundation, the life or death stakes of a blonde fall, and an epic takedown by Crystal LaBeija, are all the beautiful little nuggets that make up this film that has been eclipsed by Paris Is Burning and RuPaul's Drag Race. And without Flawless Sabrina and Crystal LaBeija there might not have ever been a prominent drag culture at all!

#24 TRICK
44m · PublishedOne of the most optimistic movies of the LGBTQIA+ canon is celebrated on episode 24. Back when printers were dotted, headshots were black and white, and you had to talk to a real person before sleeping with them, there were two queer men named Gabe and Mark and all they wanted to do was find a place to hook up in the crazy, comical world of TRICK.
Rob and Robbie take a glance at Drag Race UK vs. Drag Race US, the acting brilliance of Tori Spelling, the prettiness of "Enter You," podcast discount codes, the dimples of Christian Campbell, the sultriness of J.P. Pitoc, worshipping at the queer alter of Steve Hayes, and the awkward conversations with Blockbuster employees.
