Stop! That! Train! with special guests Jujubee, Ginger Minj and Adam Shankman plus more 2026 MIFF recommendations

For this program, we celebrated the upcoming release of ‘STOP! THAT! TRAIN!’, arguably the queerest, campiest, and silliest film you’ll see in cinemas this year that brings together a cast of some of your favourite RuPaul Drag Race queens fighting for their lives on a runaway train with a range of celebrity cameos that will leave you running to the movie theatre to make sure you don’t miss this wild ride. Obviously, we jumped at the chance to review the film and also speak with Drag Race icons Ginger Minj and Jujubee and director Adam Shankman. This hilarious and OTT cinematic tribute to disaster-parody films sees them faced with a catastrophic “Stormaganza” threatening to derail their train. With RuPaul as President Gagwell and celebrity cameos by Lisa Rinna, Sarah Michelle Gellar, and many more, ‘STOP! THAT! TRAIN!’ is a camp and crazy cinematic experience not to be missed. In speaking with the two lead queens of the film and its director, we discussed all the behind-the-scenes tea from their time on the film, plus we find out if we can get the ‘STOP! THAT! TRAIN’ sequel (a.k.a. the she-quel) filmed down under.

We also continued on with our coverage of this year’s Melbourne International Film Festival, which is on right through August, by looking at some of the great queer films on offer. From a sweeping Spanish melodrama to documentaries about a young North American man’s transition to rodeo riding in the Australian outback, we literally found a selection of features and short films that are guaranteed to keep you engaged and entertained this winter.
