To Wong Foo, the Conversation Continues The gals circle back on their “To Wong Foo” discussion (from episode 68: “It’s a Say Something Hat Day”) because frankly Angela still has questions.

No Way Out 03/04/2025

No Way Out There’s a conspiracy theory going around in Natalie’s mind that Kevin Costner and Michael Douglas had a fierce rivalry about who could be a bigger 90s icon. That really has nothing to do with the plot of this film starring Gene Hackman (RIP), but the gals discuss that and many other aspects of this absolutely magnificent thriller. #podcastersofinstagram #podcastersoffacebook #putyourbooksdown #gentlecomedy #nataliecsandersonjones #angelabingham #gentlecomedy #genx Follow Put Your Books Down on social media: Facebook: Instagram: Natalie on IG: Angela on IG: Podcast produced by /episode/index/show/ae290931-6429-42e5-8552-61f1c3ad1a32/id/35487790
