The First Wives Club & Bridesmaids

About this episode

The episode discusses the queer representation in 'The First Wives Club' and the comedic elements of 'Bridesmaids'.

This week our friend Keegon Schuett returns to the show to continue gushing about Diane Keaton as a mother to queer people. In The First Wives Club it’s a token lesbian, while she’s best friends with fellow icons Goldie Hawn and Bette Midler. We paired it with the modern classic Bridesmaids and spend more time quoting it than discussing it. Questions or comments about what we talked about? Click here to let us know!
