To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything! Julie Newmar (1995)

Ramblin: An Amblin Podcast

No one say anything frivolous for the next few moments. We are having a significant experience! The Ramblin gang are back on the road of Amblin Entertainment. This time, we’re hitching a ride in a 1967 Cadillac Deville with drag queens Vida Boheme (Patrick Swayze), Noxeema Jackson (Wesley Snipes) and Chi Chi Rodriguez (John Leguizamo) as we discuss Beeban Kidron’s comedy TO WONG FOO, THANKS FOR EVERYTHING! JULIE NEWMAR. To tackle the longest title - in terms of letters that is - so far, we invite Sarah Buddery of Looper and Let’s Jaws For A Minute podcast fame. for the journey. Along the way, we get into the casting, the costuming and the fabulous message at the heart of this mid-90s gem. We’re so excited, we could just spit!

You can follow Sarah on Twitter @sarahbuddery and her podcast @jawsforaminute, which is available to listen to now, wherever you get your podcasts.
