In this episode of Pop Culture Weekly, join Kyle McMahon for a riveting chat with the dazzling stars of Tubi's "Slay," Heidi N Closet and Crystal Methyd, as we explore their venture into the world of horror. Our conversation peels back the curtain on the film's innovative mix of camp, humor, and horror, while delving into its poignant social commentary about acceptance and the universal battle against adversity. Listen in as Heidi and Crystal share their heartfelt experiences of finding community through drag in their conservative upbringings, and how these personal journeys resonate with the film's narrative.
Step into the glittery shoes of a drag queen with us as we discuss the thrills and challenges of transitioning from the live stage to the film set. Heidi and Crystal reveal the highs of embodying their characters without the immediate applause, their astonishment at seeing themselves on the big screen, and their hopes for the film's impact on audiences. Get your dose of fabulousness and empowerment as we encourage you to watch "Slay" on Tubi and join the conversation about this unique cinematic experience that champions the idea of conquering life's metaphorical vampires.
