Peaches Christ, the Terror Vault, and Friday the 13th!

With another week comes another installment of Reading is Fundamental. Get ready for an intriguing (and perhaps arousing) lesson in law from our legal eagles extraordinaire, the sensationally sassy legal duo, none other than Dextra DeNovo and Blue Bailey! Only on Reading is Fundamental do listeners get a podcast where you go nose-deep into news and entertainment law, all served with a fabulously queer spin. In these tumultuous times, we need all the legal wisdom our LGBTQ+ fam and gender-nonconforming siblings have to offer. So, everyone, zip those lips and perk up those pricks… I mean ears – class is in session, babes! Presented by Fleshbot!

In this special episode, we chat with the horror movie Cinephile, show producer, writer, film director, podcaster, and San Francisco drag ICON, Peaches Christ. The living legend chats with our hosts about her experience as a drag entertainer and producer of the annual haunted attraction the Terror Vault! We also break down a fun copyright case about Jason Vorhees, the Friday the 13th franchise, and the new upcoming show Crystal Lake!

Peaches Christ (aka Joshua Grannell) began her career as an award-winning film student before discovering drag and soon found herself a niche that blends the two worlds together. From 1998-2009, she hosted her famed Midnight Mass series, a popular San Francisco midnight movie event where Peaches Christ would invite famous and fabulous friends to revisit some beloved films and some cult films. The Midnight Mass road-show has played all over the world (New York, San Fransisco, Seattle, Switzerland, and Belgium). For even more Peaches Christ, follow her on Instagram.

Blue Bailey is an author, activist, adult star, and attorney. His debut novel Blue Movie: Scenes from the Life of a Sexual Outlaw" is 77 slices of absolute, graphic debauchery and it's thrilling and captivating AF, while also heartbreaking.

Dextra DeNovo is a drag artist and attorney. Yes, mama is a corporate lawyer by day and a drag diva by night. She's a pageant winner in California (Mx Monster Pageant, Miss Continental Western Elegance, etc.) and recently competed in the prestigious Miss Continental pageant, a national showcase for the top drag stars. Think of her like the Elle Woods of the drag scene.
