A look at the creation of The Pogues' song "Fairytale of New York".

Jenny is a former Broadway star looking to revive her career one last time. When her rich uncle dies she leaves New York and goes to the south of Italy to claim her inheritance, only to find out that all that’s left are debts and a worthless self-portrait.

Welcome to a different kind of drag race! As NYC emerges from the chaos of 2020, Marti Cummings (they/them), an audacious and big-hearted drag queen, goes all out in a historic bid to become a City Councilperson. It’s one of the most hotly contested Council races in years, and Marti’s strongest competitor is Shaun Abreu, a tenants’ lawyer with deep roots in the district’s Latinx community. As these first-timers race to do the most good for their Upper Manhattan neighbors, they offer very different visions for Democratic politics – one in a suit and tie, the other in combat boots and floral print. As this immersive documentary reveals, Marti’s passion inspires queer activists and allies to change the political system. Their campaign becomes a community of its own, especially for Marti’s non-binary peers who have never before seen themselves represented.

As Theo introduces her to unexplored sides of the city and of herself, how far will Annabel push out of her gilded cage?

That last one’s not a surprise coming from Quinn, long a purveyor of the “everyone’s too sensitive” school of “tell it like it is” comedy. Fortunately, his curmudgeonliness is more good-natured than some of the more toxic practitioners of the form. Quinn’s grousing is more an affectionately exasperated head tilt than the full-on assaults that other comics launch against “PC culture”—sneering attacks at the likes of feminists, civil rights activists, and basically anyone who
