Pride Week is in full-swing, and drag performers will dive into the landscape of drag. Plus, we hear about some summer movie releases. And your weekend arts preview.
S1: It's time for KPBS Midday Edition. On today's Arts and Culture show , we explore San Diego's drag scene ahead of the Pride Festival. Then we'll turn to summer movies and your weekend preview. I'm Jade Hindman. Here's to conversations that keep you informed , inspired , and make you think. Through the art and experience of drag.
S4: And Lolita is is really an incredible Lady Gaga impersonator. She has a fantastic TikTok thing that Lady Gaga actually has seen and liked. And so that's really like one of the shining things I think she's maybe a little shy about. Being.S1: Well , you're TikTok famous for it now , so maybe.S3: But when I get on stage , I just let my , I guess , wild side come through. So I like to do like Joan Jett , Blondie , Pete Burns and other like , R&B artists.
S1: Okay. That's excellent. And , uh , Lolita , I mean , like we said , you're TikTok famous. Um , so , I mean , drag is big for a whole new generation because of shows like RuPaul's Drag Race pose. Can you talk more about that ? Absolutely. S4: Yeah , that's the other thing. You know , she mentioned that you're letting this spill out before. We were just spilling drinks , you know , now we are out there. I mean , I sat at a table with , um , Elton John and , uh , Alan Carr , who produced grease and passed out right there at the table. I mean , what a missed opportunity. I could have , you know , so.
S1: Well , talk to me about why recovery is so necessary within the community. It's necessary for anybody , but there seems to be a focus on it for this , this year's pride. S1: Hear their take on twisters and more when KPBS Midday Edition returns. Welcome back. You're listening to KPBS Midday Edition. I'm Jade Hindman. It is summer movie season , so we are convening our midday movie critics to find out what's worth seeing in the cinemas and what we could just wait to come on streaming. Once again , I want to welcome KPBS , Cinema Junkie , Beth Accomando and movie Wallace podcaster Yazdi to Beth Yazdi. Welcome.
S17: I saw a beast rise up out of the sea with seven heads and ten horns. And on his horns he wore ten crowns. On each head was written a blasphemous name.S1: Well , this film is definitely playing up the Nic Cage factor. S22: Molly Bennet , meet Maxim Minx. Pleased to meet you. Uh , sorry. We've all got blood on our hands now. We've made it to the belly of the beast. You must eliminate all distractions Well , the beast will spit you right back out.S10: Maxine Minx. So Mia Goth has been the anchor for this trilogy , playing two different yet thematically linked characters. I just love her energy and her kind of matter of fact kick ass quality. She's my kind of role model for female empowerment.
S26: The Shakespeare story has choreography by City Ballet's Elizabeth Westbrook , and they've done this before , but this is newly adapted this year for an outdoor stage. It's going to be at Epstein Family Amphitheater , UC San Diego. And this is a really playful but complicated story. So what they have done is added in some narration , like spoken word , to kind of keep the audience following along and kind of modernize it a little bit to.
