How do I describe something as horrible and wonderful as "Throwing Shade?" There's no way I can do it justice through words. You must, must download a few episodes and listen for yourself.
You know that friend you have who needs to be wrangled all the time? You know who I'm talking about. It's that person who goes into theatrics over every little thing because he or she thinks it's entertaining. And there's always someone around to say, "OK, calm down now."
Well, "Homosensual" Bryan Safi (remember him from "That's Gay?" ...Yeah, me neither) is that person. He is wholly out of control, and I love it.
But you'd better believe when it's time for someone to jump in and tell Safi to settle down, you can bet your butt plug that "Feminasty" Erin Gibson will, well, do the exact opposite.
The two play so well together, and they fuel each other's flames. How on earth have I gotten this far in the article without mentioning what the podcast is actually about? Jesus, it's like Erin and Bryan are rubbing off on me.
So Gibson and Safi break down the week's news that pertains to "ladies and gays." When DOMA pops up and Republican politicians start ranting about "legitimate rape," the "Throwing Shade" duo is there to tell us why it sucks, and probably how to suck, and what sucking will get you, and how much the going rate per hour is for sucking, and then some other tangent.
This podcast gets five out of five Fabutrashes. It's hands-down my favorite podcast I've ever found. So go give them some love.
