Laverne & Shirley Check Into the Honeymoon Suite
Added 2025-08-02 00:18:31 +0000 UTC“Honeymoon Hotel” (February 22, 1977)
You innocent TV Land watchers may not have suspected that there was anything queer about Laverne & Shirley, a show about two women who share an apartment and work at a brewery. Sure, they’re boy crazy, but also there’s this episode where they scam their way into a bridal suite and downtown Milwaukee’s finest hotel. Here to help us unpack the sapphic undertones is the final girl herself, Stacie Ponder! Also: Ghosts! Farrah Fawcett! And Rosie O’Donnell!
Listen to Stacie’s new podcast, Final Girl After Dark, as well as her watchthrough of the entire Twin Peaks franchise, The Detective and the Log Lady.
Listen to the What a Cartoon episode about Laverne & Shirley in the Army… if you dare!
Listen to the Monday Afternoon Movie episode with Natalie Lander.

Cindy Williams had to know, she was in The First Nudie Musical. Speaking of Twin Peaks, Williams did this really funny TV movie with Markie Post, Tricks of the Trade, where a lot of the TP actors pop up. There's a shootout in a sex shop with Jack Nance and quips ensue.

(The studio re-edit as “naked space” sucks most of the fun out of the film). In the directors cut Williams has the weirdest and catchiest song at the beginning of the film.
