TV insiders with the initials MA are calling it the biggest casting coup of the decade: For this Sunday’s installment of Logo’s Mystery Science Theater-esque screening series Cocktails & Classics, host Michael Urie recruited one of the most celebrated, revered and humble names in entertainment journalism — me!
And if that’s not enough to get you to tune in (he says humbly!), the episode’s guest list also includes Orange Is the New Black‘s Lea DeLaria, actor-comedian Drew Droege, RuPaul’s Drag Race alum D.J. “Shangela” Pierce, and… Jane freakin’ Fonda!
Well, sexed-up, crazily-constumed, ’60s-era Jane Fonda. (The theme is Barbarella!)
“When you think of camp classics, you have to think Barbarella,” says Urie, who also serves as an exec producer alongside significant other Ryan Spahn. “Barbarella is very funny on purpose, but it’s also very funny by accident.”
Press PLAY below for a sneak peek of me Sunday’s outing, and then mark your calendars because I’ll be back next week when Urie & Co. tackle Cabaret.

Barbarella!!!! I think the best thing to come out of that movie is that it gave Duran Duran their name!!!!!!

Love you michael
Why do they let that idiot shangella talk. She is dumber than a kardashian bowel movement
Vacuuming her space pod must’ve been a bitch.
Are we sure Demolition Man wasn’t loosely based on Barbarella?
You guys up for Myra Breckenridge? 1970 – all star cast! – with PLENTY O’ bitched right up your alley. several newbees too. And while you’re at it, please give Maila Nurmi a shout out. She kind of started all this in 1954. Ps loved Barbarella.
What happened to Coctails and Classics? It’s no longer on! I loved this show!
