★★★★★ A moody, atmospheric gay love story set against the backdrop of a gorgeous fishing town? Count me in! No Rest for the Wicked is akin to Call Me By Your Name in the visuals department, even if the focal point is a love story even more tragic. The couple seems doomed from the moment … Continue reading Fantasia 2026: No Rest for the Wicked
Fantasia 2026: Zsazsa Zaturnnah vs the Amazonistas of Planet X
★★★★ For campy ridiculousness and queer joy, it doesn't get much better than preposterously-named Zsazsa Zaturnnah vs the Amazonistas of Planet X. Based on the Filipino sensation, this gem was a blast from start to finish, supercharged with a specific energy that I’ve only tasted from seasons of Drag Race Philippines. These characters, the super … Continue reading Fantasia 2026: Zsazsa Zaturnnah vs the Amazonistas of Planet X
Film Review: Heartstopper Forever
★★★★★ Back in 2022, an absolutely adorable LGBT series debuted that became a cultural smash, buoyed by the vibrant source material of Alice Oseman's graphic novels of the same name. Heartstopper made instant stars out of its two leads, both notably queer actors playing these queer roles to bring a rare level of authenticity to … Continue reading Film Review: Heartstopper Forever
TV Review: The Vampire Lestat
Absence certainly makes the (undead) heart grow fonder, as our favorite gay vampire romance series rises from the dead nearly two years since last season concluded. Billed as The Vampire Lestat rather than Interview With the Vampire III, this explosive evolution of Anne Rice's iconic Vampire Chronicles douses Lestat de Lioncourt (Sam Reid) in glam-rock … Continue reading TV Review: The Vampire Lestat
NewFest 2026: Leviticus
★★★★★ Queer horror certainly does not get enough traction in mainstream media. Maybe the most recent example would be I Saw The TV Glow, a divisive personal favorite. There needs to be a hell of a lot more, so anytime one pops up, it becomes a must see. Leviticus, the feature debut of Aussie writer/director … Continue reading NewFest 2026: Leviticus
Film Review: Blue Film
★★★★ One could be forgiven for assuming Blue Film’s provocative, sexually-driven sole goal is to shock and titillate given the jaw-dropping premise. But this compelling indie from writer/director Elliot Tuttle has far more on its mind. The setup is deceptively simple: a cocky camboy agrees to spend the night with an anonymous high-paying client. What … Continue reading Film Review: Blue Film
SXSW 2026: Manhood
★★★★ It takes a particularly strong hook to sell me on a documentary, as escapism and movie magic fantasy are more my cup of tea. Enter: Manhood, a riveting deep-dive into men's mental health, masculine ideals, and... penile enhancement. From World of Wonder, producers of the Drag Race franchise, this searing doc was far more … Continue reading SXSW 2026: Manhood

TV Review: Boots
Inspired by memoir The Pink Marine by Greg Cope White, Netflix's 90s-era dramedy, Boots, takes aim at the homophobic realities of being a Marine during that decade. Gay people openly serving in the U.S. military was not legalized until 2011, well after some of the unfortunate events that take place during this compelling series. Undeniably, … Continue reading TV Review: Boots
