★★★★★ My experience with writing/directing duo Los Javis pretty much starts and ends with their judging duties on the ridiculously entertaining Drag Race España. Thus, my expectations were more of curiosity than anything else going into their newest collaboration, La Bola Negra, which translates directly as 'the black ball.' Somehow, this timeless tale has plenty … Continue reading Film Review: La Bola Negra
Theater Review: Rope
As a casual fan of Alfred Hitchcock, especially when it comes to his horror and suspense stories, I had only heard of Rope before, yet never had the pleasure of watching it. Thus, this refreshed version, playwright Gordon Greenberg's spin on the play that inspired Hitchcock’s original film, was a complete gamble. Only after catching … Continue reading Theater Review: Rope
TV Review: American Horror Story 13
“Welcome to the greatest show on earth!” So proclaimed Elsa Mars in all advertisements leading up to this monumental 13th season of Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk’s American Horror Story. Having been an avid viewer since the very first episode all the way back in 2011, AHS 13 was one of my most anticipated projects … Continue reading TV Review: American Horror Story 13
Brooklyn Horror 2026: Roma Elastica
★ Queer films and filmmaking need to be applauded, especially given how difficult it is to even get a film made in the first place. That said, filmmaker Bertrand Mandico (After Blue) is really not my cup of tea. While he makes visually enticing films, they are often strictly running on vibes over any true … Continue reading Brooklyn Horror 2026: Roma Elastica
Film Review: The Restoration at Grayson Manor
★★ Since Glee concluded in 2015, I have been anxiously awaiting Chris Colfer’s return to film, considering he took a detour to be an acclaimed author with a best selling fantasy series. The Restoration at Grayson Manor gives Colfer a juicy, super bitchy role unlike anything he has tackled before. This queer dark comedy-tinged horror … Continue reading Film Review: The Restoration at Grayson Manor
Film Review: Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma
★★★★★ If you thought SCREAM was meta, just wait for Camp Miasma! Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma is the latest horror film from acclaimed director Jane Schoenbrun. Given the ambiguous, metaphorical nature of their previous film, I Saw the TV Glow, it was difficult to manage expectations. That title proved very divisive among … Continue reading Film Review: Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma
Fantasia 2026: No Rest for the Wicked
★★★★★ 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
