🌡️ Summer Hibernation mode: ON
extreme heat, designer tomatoes, new fashion interview & Love Island on the podcast
🧠 #onmymind
The first official ‘heat wave’ of the summer is upon us on the East Coast. For the next few days I’m going to try and enjoy the weather before the triple digits hit and we cower indoors like it’s a blizzard in reverse.
Since my Bravo shows have run dry until the fall thankfully there are more new series on deck to add my my queue. Currently my viewing is House of the Dragon, Love Island UK & USA, and The Boys.
Besides that I’ve been meaning to dial back in on fashion and music. Two departments for me that have been hard for me to keep up with because it can be an infinite scroll because there is so much to discover.
So far I’ve only caught up with the Prada show, and I’m loving it. The relaxed cut, the color blocking, and easy attitude. This goes right into my recent fashion podcast interview w/
aka. highendhomo and Runway Radio Podcast, and we talked about our current thoughts on fashion and pop culture.—
other things on my mind:
- that “Loewe” tomato and how mostly all I can think about is the perfect BLT sandwich I could make with it. 🥪
- my time has come. I am finally caught up in Thronie world and now I can live through House of the Dragon twitter.

You, Me and 5 Bucks 018: A Love Island UK & USA Download w/ Kendrick Tucker of ‘I Ken Not’ Podcast 🏝️
Yes, yes I know it's time to admit that I'm fully into Love Island. I know it's not the typical stuff I cover here on the podcast, but it's a huge part of my brain. So, for this very thing I had to get in contact with @withkendricktucker of I Ken Not Podcast to talk about it. Being a fan from afar I already knew that we would be able to jump right in.
We get into a bit of our Bravo thoughts first, how the new UK season is shaping up and whether or not Joey Essex is a producer plant, the current USA season firing on all cylinders, and give our hot takes and thoughts on some of the classic UK seasons of Love Island.
🎙️ Episode 183: Approval neither desired nor required. | To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything! Julie Newmar (1995)
It's Pride month and it was beyond time for us to review it here and who better than Mikey to talk about the long lasting legacy this film has had over the past 30 years. There are so many things that have changed and moved forward but there is still more to be done.
We talk a lot about the incredible characters and arcs throughout, how this is one of Mikey's foundational films, the FASHION and BODY, the endless cameos, and how quotable this entire script is. While I know The Adventures of Priscilla Queen of the Desert isn't the same film but since they were released within a year of each other we compare and contrast, and explain why they should be seen as a 'double feature'.
Off-topic rants include: why we need a costume museum, why we need a spin off series of Noxeema and Clara, LOTR/The Hobbit movie series

🚂 Back Track 020: Wait for Sugar! | Some Like it Hot (1959)
Runnin' wild and talking Some Like it Hot for the latest 'Back track' episode! I'm so excited to cover this one because I got a major case of the feels when watching this for the pod.
If you are looking for an all around stellar film with an incredible cast, laughs a plenty, brilliant story, and an ethereal Marilyn Monroe then look no further. I get into the behind the scenes tidbits I discovered including the troubles on set, how the men were cast as Daphne and Josephine, and how it wasn't well received (inconceivable) during the first screening.
off-topic rants include: 80s movies, Frank Sinatra, and the Hays Code in films
