BSFC #19: Claudia and the Bad Joke
Manage episode 294682044 series 2791269
December 1988: Power ballads ruled the music charts, camp Christmas classics dominated television, and a precocious new charge with a sadistic streak put Claudia Kishi in the hospital. COMEDIANS, amirite?
Brooke and Kaykay discuss Claudia's emotional trauma and Betsy Sobak's potential conduct disorder, with digressions on what passed for comedy in the '80s (anyone wanna see a guy smash a watermelon?), the queer subtext of Kristy's pie fetish, and Kaykay's future career as a Hollywood stuntwoman.

PLUS: As promised in the episode, here's Matt Baume's fabulous tribute to the queerest/best thing ever to air on television, Christmas at Pee Wee's Playhouse.
