Welcome to Queerty’s latest entry in our series, Queerantined: Daily Dose. Every weekday as long as the COVID-19 pandemic has us under quarantine, we’ll release a suggested bit of gloriously queer entertainment designed to keep you from getting stir crazy in the house. Each weekend, we will also suggest a binge-able title to keep you extra engaged.
It seems kind of impossible that Michael Williams, David Collins and Rob Eric would ever have time to sit and watch TV. The trio of longtime collaborators behind Queer Eye and the new HBO Max series Legendary never seem to rest, even during a pandemic.
Still, after chatting about ballroom, queerness and all things fabulous, we managed to pry a few viewing suggestions from them.
“I don’t know what happened to me,” says Rob Eric, “but I’ve been watching every season of The Golden Girls over again.” His collaborators howl with laughter at his admission. “All I want right now is to stop hearing about COVID and for someone to say ‘Picture it: Sicily, 1925…'”
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
“You turned me on to Midnight Gospel, Rob,” Collins injects. He refers to the adult animated series about a podcaster traveling the universe in search of interviews. It’s as surreal as it sounds.
“Midnight Gospel is the bomb,” Eric confirms.
The Golden Girls streams on Hulu, YouTube, VUDU and iTunes.
Midnight Gospel streams on Netflix.

There are to many damn streaming services…I’m not paying 15 bucks a month to watch one show

Hey Balttymore, just so you’re aware, HBO MAX is now FREE. Many of us felt the same as You, about ridiculous cost for another HBO channel.
BTW, the show LEGENDARY is an insult and disrespectful to the legends of Ballroom (IMO). It’s been whitewashed for the masses.

Just added “The Midnight Gospel” to my queue on Netflix. The trailer sold me on the series. Thanks for the tip!

Why is this show necessary, and how is it different from Poise?
