Gay Cruella, Queer Coding, and Protagonist Villains (Cruella de Vil, 101 Dalmatians)

We revisit Cruella de Vil with special guest, Erik Thompson aka Gay Cruella. Gay Cruella embraces Cruella with all his heart and soul. He and Joe talk all about Cruella de Vil - her origin, evolution, how they empathize with the fierce lady and more.
