    "And we know a cow when we see one"


    On today's episode, we're heading out to La La Land and following our dream of being in a burlesque show, I guess, as we revisit the absolute gay fever dream of a movie that is Burlesque (2010). This movie was directed by a complete homosexual and was absolutely made for the homosexuals and them only.


    Joining me on today's episode is a fun, internet buddy of mine, Mike G., and we recount our first watches of this movie, just how silly and gay it is, and the absolute stars of this movie (Cher and Christina Aguilera)
