Movie geeks, get ready to camp out.  On Sunday, a new series on Logo called  brings together the people behind some of the most beloved – and, yes, often over-the-top – films of all time with the entertainment fixtures who have made a career out of obsessing over them.  ' premiere episode, which accompanies 1989's  , reveals the insider-y, chatty flavor of the series, which host  tells PEOPLE is all about digging into "finding out what it is about these films that made them classics."  Unlike many movie companion series,  is "not just trivia," says the  alum, who's also an executive producer. "We do a certain amount of re-creating scenes. We definitely incorporate the great zingers that people love and remember. It's something that people who don't know the movies will be delighted to learn from, and people who do know the movies will be delighted to share the things that they already feel and giggle about."  Panelists range from people involved with the films – Oscar winner  and screenwriter Robert Harling stopped by the  screening – to well-known entertainment aficionados, including PEOPLE and EW's Editorial Director  ), to name a few.  Says Urie, 34, "Bringing in somebody like Jess Cagle, who was actually on the set of  for it – his stories are amazing. Not to mention the fact that we were able to score Olympia Dukakis and Robert Harling to come and talk about it. That was a pretty special day that we got to spend watching that movie with those people and getting their firsthand stories that were just delightful."  And that's just the beginning. Over eight episodes, a rotating panel dishes on classics both from Tinseltown's golden age, including  , and flicks from the cult-favorite catalog, such as  Of the Jacqueline Susann's 1967 camp classic, Urie has a confession: "I had never seen – and I'm ashamed to admit it –  Thanks to panelist Michael Musto, a  expert, Urie says he and Pierce, 33, were "learning a lot as we went. And I think that's a really, really fun piece of this."  Urie says he's "had older guys sit me down and show me movies and say, 'You have to know this movie.' â¦ That is such a part of the culture and something that this series is really tapping into. The Michael Musto-D.J. Pierce dynamic is such an adorable one that I think people will really gravitate toward, and it will really mirror how people watch movies."  More than buckling up for a cinematic crash course, though, Urie says one challenge was keeping it together when icons were sitting just a few couch cushions away.  and not geeking out [was tough]," he admits, "but to an extent you want to geek out. You  to share that kind of goofiness."  Of course, the classics are only half of the title. What about the cocktails?  Predictably, they're curated with the same affectionate irreverence as the films themselves were: "When we watched  , I believe the drink was called the Shelby, and it was [inspired by] the  . It was an orange juice-based drink. And there's a great scene in  where Holly Golightly drinks milk from a champagne glass, so we had a cocktail that looked like milk. There was always sort of a theme to the cocktail. We didn't play a drinking game because we don't want to encourage alcoholism or anything like that, but there are drinks flying."  premieres alongside a screening of  on Sunday at 7 p.m. ET.
