Hello subjects of the country now known as The United States of Dereon. Did you also put your hands on your television screens so Beyonce could "feel your energy" during the Halftime Show? Because we did. And the feeling that we got maybe the same thing you feel when you listen to this week's Texas-sixed episode of Let's Talk About It. Hosts Ken Greller and Alex Bedder chat about everything from their handsome crush Eliot Glazer's turn as Oprah in his new webseries and revealing a secret attraction to Seth Macfarlane, to Magic Mike's Oscar snub and Anne Hathaway's "veganism". Then all hell breaks lose when the pair discover they wrote essays about their favorite Oscar category, Best Supporting Actress, and race politics in Hollywood. But, before things get a little too dark and culturally anaylized, they are joined by the effervescent and brillant Madison Moore, a pop scholar who recently graduted from Yale with PhD in American Studies, to talk about nightlife and fabulousness. How does it feel to be an answer on NPR's Wait Don't Tell Me? What does it really mean to have a "kiki"? Why is there a gay bar in New Haven with an Anne Frank mural outside of it? Find out when they talk about it!
