Bonus Episode: “The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert” - a podcast by JG Media

So, you already know that your Jem Girls are super queer/raging homosexuals/gay-for-pay (except no one is paying us, we lay on this level of gay for FREE) and we bring up drag-related content at every opportunity.

You also know that we, when taking a break on the Jem and the Holograms trail (or, Jemtrail, if you will), like to hate-watch truly awful B-movies from the 1980s. Looking at you, Chopping Mall.

But, sometimes, we like to watch movies that are actually good and have something more to offer audiences than horny teenagers getting murdered by power drills or killer robots.

With all that in mind and in honour of Pride month (sort of) we decided to watch, discuss and poke fun at the iconic 90s Australian queer film “The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert.”

Basically about three drag performers taking a road trip through the Australian outback, this movie has big hair, amazing outfits and questionable performances. Oh, and rather problematic racial stereotypes. Everything folks who regularly watch Jem are used to seeing.

Unlike, Jem, however, this is actually a quality piece of queer media so, while we do rip into it a bit (old habits die hard) there are also important things to say about the movie. Can your Jem Girls have an engaging, intellectual discussion? Or will we just spiral into nonsense puns and vulgarities?

A bit of both!
