The Big Door Prize is a little bit Twilight Zone, a little bit Schitt’s Creek. Plus the incomparable Crystal Fox as a middle age lesbian mom and Mommi.

In the bottom right corner of the image, there is a black line drawing of two women with 1950s hairstyles whispering to each other against a teal background. In the upper left corner, there is a speech bubble. Inside the speech bubble, there is an image of a black neoprene thigh harness with two Velcro straps. White text on the bottom of the harness reads, "Sportsheets."
