The forecast for Episode 45 is for a hurricane – Hurricane Bianca to be precise! Bake (2016) Off Tom Gilliford and Izsi (Womfit, Z-List Dead List podcasts) Lawrence return to Flixwatcher to review Tom’s choice, a sort of spin-off from RuPaul’s Drag Race starring the one and only Bianca Del Rio.
Hurricane Bianca is a sort of school revenge, gross out comedy, with drag. Tom’s description of the film is much, much better than the actual film, it is sort of well-meaning but the delivery (crass, loud and offensive) doesn’t work, generally, women (not in drag) do not fare well either. It doesn’t even feature a realistic representation of a rat.
There are much better films that explore drag and LBGT identity that are much better (we reviewed Paris is Burning recently – check that out instead of this) but if you are particularly invested in RuPaul’s Drag Race you might find something to enjoy here.
