Gayish 240: Representation (w/ Max Currie)
Friday Aug 06, 2021
Friday Aug 06, 2021
This week we're talking about representation, both LGBT+ and beyond. We were very lucky to sit down with Max Currie, director and co-showrunner of Rurangi (now streaming on Hulu), an amazing new trans drama out of New Zealand. The fact he was a member of the pit crew on RuPaul's Drag Race Down Under also means he is very easy on the eyes, which was great for Mike and Kyle but doesn't really help you out much. Anyway, Rurangi is amazing, check it out.
In this episode: News- 0:42 || Main Topic (Representation)- 12:06 || Guest (Max Currie)- 21:09 || Gayest & Straightest- 47:32
