Before RuPaul's Drag Race, there was The Birdcage—a 1996 comedy that gave us drag queens, dinner party disasters, and Robin Williams in a wifebeater. This week, Jackie and Danielle are joined by their fabulous pod pals Ajay and Jon from The Delicious Recap to relive the wigs, the scandals, and the iconic walk through South Beach. With Nathan Lane stealing every scene and Gene Hackman rocking a Barbara Bush cosplay, this film is both hilarious and historically queer.

The gang dives into the movie’s legacy, Robin and Nathan’s casting switcheroo, and why Val might be the true villain of the story (spoiler: he needed therapy). From political hypocrisy to shrimp soup sabotage, this rewatch is as chaotic as Agador in loafers. It’s heartfelt, it’s hilarious, and yes, it’s still got that We Are Family magic.
