Fenton Bailey and Randy Barbato discuss their experiences in the entertainment industry, their collaboration with RuPaul, and their film 'STOP! THAT! TRAIN!'.

WORLD OF WONDER co-founders (and Drag Race producers) Fenton Bailey & Randy Barbato come on the pod to discuss meeting RuPaul in the 80s, breaking up after 20 years (and continuing to work together), and their gay ass film STOP! THAT! TRAIN! Subscribe for more episodes every week! We also discuss: -- where they pulled their movie cast from (it might have been this podcast) -- Heated Rivalry's popularity amongst gays and straights -- breaking up after 20 years and continuing to collaborate -- their first big purchases when they made money -- how STOP! THAT! TRAIN! is the gay Little Engine That Could -- if Gloria Swanson is a character actress (TW: it gets bloody) plus I pitch a STOP! THAT! TRAIN! fl*shlight popcorn bucket. I hope they do it!
