Description

Did you know that there is a whole movie that takes place before Judy Garland sings “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas”? Time for some old Hollywood glamour, WWII nostalgia for the turn of the century, and a startling lack of tension or plot.

"Best Revival of a Podcast: Showgays" is a podcast in The Ampliverse.
