movie to watch recommended by Betty O'Hellno

Sun Mar 22

Well, Betty sure has been busy! She's cleaned every room in the house twice, listened to every true-crime podcast ever recorded, and has gone through at least 8.4 boxes of wine. What's a drag queen to do when she can't go outside or accost strangers for tips? Watch all of her favorite movies and explore some new ones!

Betty has an odd taste in film for sure - she loves raunchy pre-code classics, film noir, and old MGM musicals. She also has a dark side - she binge-watches crime documentaries and all that Mother Nature has blessed us with. Here are a few of her favorite (mostly free!) adventures she's been on while staying inside and dragging her butt on the carpet to keep busy.
