This week, Angel, the creator of Finding Atlas (To Have and to Hold), joins us for a crossover with Macintosh & Maud Haven’t Seen What?! to watch and review the 2001 film version of Hedwig and the Angry Inch before Riverdale comes back this week for their Hedwig musical episode. We’re getting very nervous about how Riverdale is going to handle this, given their track history visiting gratuitous, awful trauma on their queer characters. Because Hedwig is a complicated story about queerness, trauma, love, pain, and redemption, and with a singular vision of its creator, John Cameron Mitchell. It’s an outstanding film that’s both firmly rooted in the time it was made while also being incredibly universal and poignant. In fact, it’s probably the best rock opera ever produced, and we don’t say that lightly. So before Riverdale takes a crack at it, go watch the film and listen to our review of an amazing, profound, and extremely fun film in The Doghouse!
