91: Will & Jack Embrace Every Gay Stereotype

“Fagmalion, Part Two: Attack of the Clones” (January 30, 2003)

We’re covering part two of a four-part Will & Grace arc, but it actually make sense in that this itself is part two of two-part crossover with Kyle Getz and Mike Johnson from the podcast Gayish, which is all about the stereotypes that surround gay identity. Is this Will & Grace a carnival of gay horrors? Yes, but that doesn’t mean this show isn’t worth examining.

If you’re Gayish-curious, check out their late bloomers episode or their sex hotel episode with Davey Wavey. But more importantly listen to the episode where we’re guests!

Also listen to Henry Giardina’s new podcast, Totally Trans.
