In Minute 86 of The Whole Shebang, Mike and Jenny kick off a week of being joined by FANCY guest host Jen Melchert! Jen joins Jenny and Mike to discuss: Arthur’s lovely down-to-earth response to the barrage of witty epigrams from the Flaming Creatures, the Flaming Creatures perhaps having read a book or two on fascism (last week’s Big Brother reference) and Situationism, and whether Arthur’s nonplussed reaction to their dimestore philosophy is a meta-commentary on the wilderness of queer theory, Mandy’s mysterious appearance in the middle of a black void and how the movie overall poses people in situations like album covers, the silliness of Bryan Ferry’s video for “A Hard Rain’s a-Gonna Fall,” how the Flaming Creatures are not just a goth-glam tribute but also a tribute to the punk and postpunk artists who wanted to tear Bowie’s legacy down in the late ‘70s, Brian’s late-night recording session, his single melodramatic tear running down his cheek, and how it might be a tribute to Sinead O’Connor’s iconic “Nothing Compares 2 U” video. We then pivot through Prince and the future Paisley Park Museum to talk about Jen’s visit to the Bowie exhibit a couple of years ago and our SEETHING jealousy.
