WHAT IS QUEER

S1E9: THE ANTI-OSCARS

March 15, 2023 • Parker Sargent • Season 1 • Episode 9

John Cameron Mitchell joins us to discuss that-time-of-the-year where queer pearls are being clutched for what celebrities are wearing to the awards shows and who is (and isn't) winning...and no event is bigger than the Academy Awards.

Hosted by: Parker Sargent
Produced by: koitz
Contributors: David Gilleo
Guests: John Cameron Mitchell

Parker chats with John Cameron Mitchell about her lack of enthusiasm for the Oscars and gets his thoughts on the proposition of genderless categories at awards shows, as well as dissecting the current gender-fear that seems to be sweeping the nation. Our producer koitz shares his experiences covering the Oscars in previous years...and then everything takes a hard turn when Miss Davida Jones lures Parker into hosting an Oscars viewing Party, determined to turn our host into an Oscar-loving convert.
