S2E5 - Six Degrees of Bruce Vilanch ft. Bruce Vilanch

Published: Feb. 9, 2021, 11:11 p.m.

We have the EGOT of awards show writers! It\u2019s Bruce Vilanch! You might know him from the 90\u2019s reboot of Hollywood Squares, or his contributions to Bette Midler\u2019s shows such as \u201cClams on the Half Shell\u201d or \u201cDivine Madness.\u201d He has been a recurring guest judge on RuPaul\u2019s Drag Race, but we have him all to ourselves this week. \xa0

\n

We talk to him about what\u2019s good on the streams, including his contributions to the fantastic documentary The Fabulous Allan Carr, and he gives us some insight into working with Allan on the infamous 1989 Oscars. He tells us all about the good stuff that got cut from the show and what inspired some of the cringier moments.\xa0

\n

We ask Bruce about his love affair with the Castro Theatre in San Francisco; he confirms it\u2019s still the best place to see an old Hollywood movie. Then we get Bruce\u2019s take on the Ryan Murphy reboot of The Boys in the Band. Listen in for a really sweet time.\xa0
