Will & Jack Embrace Every Gay Stereotype
Added 2020-12-09 09:38:16 +0000 UTC“Fagmalion, Part Two: Attack of the Clones” (January 30, 2003)
We’re covering part two of a four-part Will & Grace arc, but it actually make sense in that this itself is part two of two-part crossover with Kyle Getz and Mike Johnson from the podcast Gayish, which is all about the stereotypes that surround gay identity. Is this Will & Grace a carnival of gay horrors? Yes, but that doesn’t mean this show isn’t worth examining.

Yeah I’ve always wondered how they picked it. Like how does it relate to the show?

2020-12-10 22:57:18 +0000 UTCThe <i>Will and Grace</i> theme sounds at alternate points like it threatens to turn into either "Jessica" by the Allman Brothers or "Linus and Lucy" by the Vince Guaraldi Trio. It's very strange.
