Drink To That

The love story between Edie Windsor and Thea Spyer is truly one for the ages. It’s definitely one for the history books. So who better to recount their monumental relationship than two drunk ladies? If you haven’t watched “Drunk History” before, you might be a little confused. But the concept is simple: someone gets really shit-faced while recounting an important and/or little-known part of history which is then reenacted, complete with slurry speech and occasional falling down, by a celebrity.

In the case of the late, great Edie and Thea, the story is told by actress and comic Alison Rich to actress and surprise nose-ring enthusiast Kirby Howell-Baptiste (who you may recognize from “Killing Eve” and “The Good Place” and the all-too-shirt “Downward Dog”). Alison Brie and Sugar Lyn Beard play Thea and Edie, respectively. And the whole thing is kind of lovely in that hazy, buzzed kind of way things are lovely when you’re on your third glass of wine. Enjoy, and bottoms up.
