Everyone is feverishly preparing for The Feast of The Ass on January 14! Consequently, many of you have questions, such as "What is the proper Feast of the Ass greeting?" And "Shouldn't the official Feast of the Ass dessert be the Tunnel of Fudge?" As always, Dan has the answers. A woman's brother just got engaged...again. This is the third time, and he has been dating his current girlfriend for a scant 6 months. What's more, the fiancé has been pestering the caller to be best friends, texting her all day long. The caller has been through this before. Is she a jerk for feeling a little skeptical about her's brother's relationship? On the Magnum, it's the return of the Funny Dom! Our favorite Australian sadist is back to help a woman and her boyfriend concoct the perfect mix of BDSM, femme-domming and to get some dang dishes done besides. And, a cautionary tale: when you're flying on Molly, and you coquettishly ask "What could I do to be sexier for you?" Beware! He just might answer honestly.

Nobody likes a spoiler, as I was reminded this weekend on the internet. But I saw Wicked, Nosferatu, and Baby Girl in one weekend, and I have to talk about them. And I'm going to talk about them. But I don't want to be accused, God forbid, of sharing spoilers, which is a capital offense. True story. The three people on federal death row that Joe Biden didn't pardon?
All three there for posting spoilers to their social media. No one will mourn them. This is your spoiler alert. If you want to see these three films absolutely cold, if you know nothing about them and want to keep it that way, jump ahead to the first call. Ready? Three, two, one, here we go.
Wicked, the new film version of Stephen Schwartz's 2003 musical adaptation of Gregory Maguire's 1995 novel, which is itself a retelling of the 1900 novel by L. Frank Baum and the 1939 film of that novel, Wizard of Oz, From the perspective of the Wicked Witch of the West, loved it. The book, Wicked, the book, has some very dirty sex scenes. The musical and the film do not.
What the film shows us, what it captures, what I found really kind of interesting, is that special time in the lives of theater kids when they first pair off. When the theater kids all get to have their first romantic moment. But not sexual relationships.
When every girl in the theater club suddenly has a boyfriend in the theater club and then a couple of months later everybody hits puberty and all the boys come out and that is the end of all those beautiful first relationships. In Wicked, the film, the prepubescent theater kids are all played by actors in their 30s and 40s so you have to squint to see it. But it's there.
Quickly, while we're on the subject of film adaptations of Stephen Schwartz musicals, Hollywood, if you're listening, please do Pippin next. Schwartz's 1972 musical about a prince trying to find himself. Jonathan Bailey could play Pippin if you rush it into production right now. And Pippin, it has something no musical does. No other musical has.
A love song that isn't sung to one particular boy or one particular girl or by a boy to a girl or a girl to a boy. It's not a duet. It is a love song that is sung during an orgy to the participants of that orgy. And it's beautiful. I tear up every time I listen to it. And I listen to it a lot because I'm a theater kid. All right, Nosferatu.
