Back to EpisodesJess Ross On How Disney Movies Accidentally Raise Bisexuals
Description
Writer, actor, and comedian Jessica Ross of Dropout, Dimension 20, Game Changer, and Um, Actually joins Tawny Platis to make friendship bracelets that are spooky, snacky, and maybe a little bit bisexual
Between ghost charms and banana beads, Jess dives into horror films, hobbit dreams, and the culture of modern fandoms.
While crafting bracelets inspired by Vegas weddings, video games, and bi awakenings, Jess opens up about:- Loving horror movies (but not necessarily believing in ghosts)- Film nerd life (from Dario Argento screenings to watching a movie a day)- Canceling a 2020 wedding and pivoting to a spontaneous Vegas ceremony- Bisexual awakenings courtesy of Aladdin, The Mummy, Rocky Horror, and Jessica Rabbit- Watching Dropout grow from scrappy survival mode to Hollywood Bowl-level phenomenon- Crying at a Tim Curry appearance and listening to his autobiography like he’s a personal friend
Plus, there’s a rapid-fire round featuring Power Rangers, comfort movies, hot takes vs. hot gossip, and a very important banana bracelet reveal.
And every bracelet made during this episode will be available for purchase, with 100% of the proceeds going to the Los Angeles Regional Food Bank, Jess’s chosen charity.
Remember, every bracelet has a story, and every story helps a cause.
