Episode 99: Scandal of a Scion: Alfred Bloomingdale / Melted Film School: CATS
It's almost Thanksgiving, Queerdos! And we're so thankful for this show. As a token of our gratitude to the Queerdos, we've got two heaping helpings of stories for you. First, in our True Crime Story, Kevin tells us about world-class asshole Alfred Bloomingdale and the people he harmed along the way. Next, in our Spoopy Tale, Edie takes us back to Melted Film School to learn about 2019 body horror masterpiece CATS. So establish a safeword, practice your cat-like movements, and get ready for this week's show. Let's dive in!
