Robby Kendall not only spearheads the nonprofit film production company Fishnets & Film, Inc. He is also a psychologist. Indeed, Robby is an educator, entertainer, writer, director, connector, humorist, and consummate problem solver. In this podcast episode, Robby shares his drag origin story as well as his psychologist origin story. Apparently he “therapized” his mother for years before becoming a shrink. And now he helps students and individuals solve their own problems. The conversation offers a fascinating look into sex education, the queer community, and the travails of wardrobe malfunctions as a drag queen.

Robby has created an impressive collection of short films and feature length film projects. His filmography includes: “Victoria Place, Sweet Nothing, (Un)Free Will, The Other Side of Eden: A Modern Testament, and Drag Queens Must Die.” Yours truly (Dr. Jim) will be on a panel for Robby’s Queer Film Festival on March 2nd, 2024 at the New Parkway in Oakland, featuring the film, Sexplanation (Alex Liu). This film offers a humorous look at the dearth of comprehensive sex education in our country, what we know, and perhaps most significantly what we should know.
