Raise your motherf*ckin' glasses!
It's time to party on the Revenge because this week we're tracing the origins of the sea goddess Calypso and her many pop culture iterations! Kim and Pam talk about everything from Caribbean folk music traditions to Jacques Cousteau and the MCU. And of course we share our love for OFMD's Wee John and his Calypso drag persona.
