The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert (1994)

It's July and Debaser is continuing our Pride celebration with a 90s cult classic about traveling drag queens: The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert.

How well has this 31 year old film about members of the LGBTQ community aged? Who exactly is Priscilla? Is the most problematic aspect of this movie the depiction of a cishet person? Can Jared cheer Will up by listing upcoming new films? Listen to find out!

Priscilla, Queen of the Desert is available to watch on many streaming platforms, including Tubi, PlutoTV, Hoopla, Prime Video, and The Roku Channel.

The YouTube video essay that Will references can be found here.

On the Debaser next time... Bound (1996).
