"Gay Audacity" with Jimin Moon

Connor and Dylan are joined by Jimin Moon (Heated Rivalry: The Unauthorized Musical Parody, Sunset Boulevard). Our Pride Month celebrations continue as this star comes to the cottage… aka the pod! Jimin stars as Shane Hollander in the off-Broadway musical parody of Heated Rivalry (alongside double DRAMA diva Jay Armstrong Johnson as Ilya Rozanov). We go into the locker room of this cultural phenomenon-turned-stage show as Jimin speaks about creating their own version of Shane, their relationship to the books and television series, and favorite songs in the piece. Jimin tracks their journey from Stuart Little to Shane Hollander, citing pivotal mentorship from their voice teacher and their coming out experience. Trust we get all the Sunset Boulevard tea about Nicole Scherzinger, Jamie Lloyd and Joe Gillis’ little black briefs. It wouldn’t be Pride without paying respect to the divas, including Amber Iman, Troye Sivan, Bernadette Peters, and of course Scherzy. Recorded before the 2026 Tony Awards, jump back in time to hear the twins’ hopes and dreams for Broadway’s Biggest Night before we chat about Pokémon, pop music, and Jimin’s connection to Vanderpump Rules.
