Sewers of Paris: A Gateway Drug to Fabulous (Ep. 360 - 80s Cartoons/Ted Biaselli)
🕑 Added 2021-11-04 16:01:03 +0000 UTCAt first glance, Elvira — the late-night movie hostess — looks like a character custom-engineered to appeal to straight men. So why do so many gays love her? I’ve got a new video up on YouTube exploring that very question, with help from someone who knows a thing or two about the character — her longtime collaborator and writer, Ted Biaselli, who also happens to be Director of Original Series at Netflix. Several years ago I interviewed Ted for The Sewers of Paris podcast, and this week we’re returning to that conversation about his work with Elvira, aka Cassandra Peterson, as well as his journey from a flamboyant child in Pennsylvania to an art-school gay to developing shows that will hopefully speak to weird little kids like the one he used to be.

Hey Matt thank you for RE- introducing me to Elvira. I have memories of watching her show at my Grandparents house when I was a kid. Elvira, The Muppets, The Bionic Woman and Wonder Woman all give me the warm fuzzies. Loving your content. Educational and entertaining. Well done.
