Episode 259: The Crew’s discussing Mike Nichols\u2019 fabulously funny, The Birdcage. The film is a take on the Guess Who\u2019s Coming to Dinner story; this time a conservative couple meets a gay couple. This film makes fun of gay men, conservatives, and straight men; but it\u2019s never mean spirited. The main characters are multidimensional and you can\u2019t help but like them. Robin Williams and Nathan Lane steal the show! The Crew discusses.<\/p>\n
