The Birdcage gives us Robin Williams as Armand Goldman, the suave owner of a drag club, and Nathan Lane as Albert \u2014 the diva of divas, a performer with more sequins than the Vegas strip. Life is perfect, until Armand\u2019s son Val announces he\u2019s marrying the daughter of ultra-conservative Senator Keeley (Gene Hackman). Cue the panic, the plan, and the inevitable parade of mistaken identities, awkward dinners, and fashion crimes against humanity. We\u2019ll sip and spill about the movie\u2019s razor-sharp wit, Robin\u2019s perfect straight-man-to-the-madness energy, Nathan Lane\u2019s comedic genius, and Gene Hackman\u2019s turn as a buttoned-up politician who somehow winds up in that outfit by the end (no spoilers, but\u2026 trust us). We\u2019ll also toast to the film\u2019s timeless themes of love, family, and the fact that pretending to be someone you\u2019re not is exhausting \u2014 especially if it means hiding your drag club furniture in the closet. So pour yourself something with a little extra flair (umbrella optional but encouraged), pull up a chair, and join Kent, Patrick, Laura, and Squeeker as we celebrate one of the most riotously funny comedies ever made. This one\u2019s got everything \u2014 love, acceptance, feathers, farce, and enough champagne to fuel an entire Pride parade. \ud83c\udf99 More episodes at: https:\/\/adultbeverage.net \ud83d\udcf2 Stay connected with us on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram #TheBirdcage #RobinWilliams #NathanLane #GeneHackman #MoviePodcast #ComedyClassics #LGBTQFilm #AdultBeverageFilmPodcast #CultComedy #FilmTalkWithADrink ","author_name":"Adult Beverage Film Podcast","author_url":"http:\/\/www.adultbeverage.net","html":"<iframe title=\"Libsyn Player\" style=\"border: none\" src=\"\/\/html5-player.libsyn.com\/embed\/episode\/id\/27269652\/height\/90\/theme\/custom\/thumbnail\/yes\/direction\/forward\/render-playlist\/no\/custom-color\/88AA3C\/\" height=\"90\" width=\"600\" scrolling=\"no\"  allowfullscreen webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen oallowfullscreen msallowfullscreen><\/iframe>","thumbnail_url":"https:\/\/assets.libsyn.com\/secure\/content\/154880046"}
