RYAN: One of our favorite lesbian comics, Kate McKinnon does this incredible show called Disenchanted where she takes famous Disney and other fairy tale characters and turns them into real people with dramatic problems.
CAROLINE: Her show really is quite funny. We often quote it to each other.
RYAN: She shot a video of one of her characters a while back and just recently did an adaptation of her Snow White character.
RYAN: Just because I love Harry Potter so much, people randomly send me links to anything related to it.
CAROLINE: Really? Anything good?
RYAN: Well you know I reviewed Daniel Radcliffe in Equus on Broadway earlier this week.
CAROLINE: Yes you did. I'd like to review a Broadway show soon, myself.
RYAN: I recommend it. But today we're gonna stay on-topic - Daniel Radcliffe. Here are a couple funny gay moments with him... just for the fun of it!
CAROLINE: Is he gay?
RYAN: Who knows. If he is, he's not out. But who cares. Even if he's straight, he's clearly very cool and open minded as is evidenced in today's videos:
RYAN: With a little bit of clever editing, someone has shed new light on the phenomenon of High School Musical.
CAROLINE: I've never seen it.
RYAN: Well you'll see the new one coming out, pun intended... in theaters October 24th, right?
CAROLINE: I suppose we'll have to see it to review it. And I do love movie musicals though this franchise plays to the Hannah Montana set.
RYAN: We're not technically the target audience; however, if the movie was really more about what today's video of the week shows, we'd be more fired up about it.
CAROLINE: Why hasn't there been a decent, out-right-gay musical?
RYAN: Doesn't Xanadu count?
CAROLINE: [laughs] It might.
RYAN: And we've got 9 to 5 - The Musical opening on Broadway soon so that's gotta be pretty gay. But in the meantime, check out this HSM edit:
When it comes to retouching celebrity photos for magazine covers, we don't know the half of it! It's endlessly remarkable what technicians and masters of photoshop can do today to improve a photo. We've seen it with our own photos:

RYAN: I don't know how but I randomly stumbled across this dude on YouTube.com earlier this week and I've been watching a ton of his videos.
CAROLINE: Who is he?
RYAN: I don't really know. He's in Toronto, Canada and has one of those Flip Video recorders and he has posted a ton of clips about various things. He's sincerely not that interesting at all... but he's such a cutie that you just keep watching.
CAROLINE: Ok. But doesn't it get boring after a while?
RYAN: No. 'Cos he's, like, naked in almost every video.
CAROLINE: Full frontal?
RYAN: No, but at least shirtless. Here's an example:
