There's only one Patti LuPone. Which is why the s**t hit the gold plated fan when Andrew Llyod Webber tried to have two Norma Desmonds. Tess is joined by Paul Caiola, one of the hosts of “That Aged Well,” (@thatagedwell) as the two of them dissect the fascinating and high drama turns of Patti Lupone's “Sunset Blvd,” firing, and the antics that followed.

"No, I've never heard of air rights. What are air rights?" We watched "Burlesque with our friend Paul Caiola from "That Aged Well," and we would like 3 tickets for tonight's floor show at the Burlesque Lounge. We're willing to look past this pop-up book version of Hollywood, the questionable business practices of the venue, and even the legality of these so-called "air rights," but we will not sit idly by while Cher gets upstaged by "a tacky farm girl from Iowa." Listen, this movie is a whole bunch of crazy, but we are living for it from start to finish. Could the script use a little tightening? Maybe - but we sure do get some amazing one-liners delivered by not only Cher ( “Nikki, don't drive!”) but Christina Aguilera, Kristen Bell, and Stanley Tucci get some zingers in there as well. We're also willing to overlook the fact that Stanley Tucci is effectively playing the same character he gave us in "The Devil Wears Prada" because he plays gay so darn well. Come for Xtina's growl, stay for Cher's iconic line delivery... say it with us - "Wagon Wheel Watusi!" Thanks for listening all season and we'll be back with fresh episodes before you know it!

Like when Charlies Angels went on the Love Boat - it’s time for a Crossover!! We watched The Witches of Eastwick (1987) with Erika Villalba and Paul Caiola from That Aged Well and we agree on one thing - everyone needs to frolic through a mansion at least once in their life. We talk wigs, wardrobe and wicked witchery as we make our way through this George Miller directed 80’s classic. Cher is turning lewks, Susan Sarandon is rocking magnificent flame-red curls and Michelle Pfeiffer can walk the Face category in any Ball and snatch a trophy even with the cold sore shes sporting here. We had NO Business watching this movie as kids but it made us the witchy gays we are today. Thanks for listening and don't forget to subscribe, rate and review us on iTunes!
