I found this film almost magnetic in a way I couldn’t fully explain. Some films have that rare quality where every frame feels worth taking in—the people, the settings, the movement—and this one completely has it. It’s a fictionalised retelling of real moments from the life of dancer and choreographer Rianto, who performs the Lengger…

At its core, this documentary is about the American religious right’s aggressive opposition to the LGBTQ community and the harm that causes families caught between their faith and the love they feel for their own children. The film takes a gentle, patient approach, clearly hoping to convince people with conservative religious beliefs that there is…

Honestly, they should’ve just named this show J&J. The two leads are Jerome and Jinn, and the show itself even calls them by that nickname a few times. Maybe there were title issues, but J&J would’ve suited it so much better. Head 2 Head just sounds a little off. Anyway, it begins like a pretty…

This is an early-90s film, and that context genuinely matters when you watch it. It was probably fairly talked about in its day. It’s a murder mystery erotic thriller that’s somehow both dramatic and utterly ridiculous, and the sheer absurdity actually made me laugh a few times before I had to remind myself that logic…

You could pretty much describe this as a queer neo-noir erotic thriller about a closeted cop who freely admits he’s a sex addict and gradually loses control as the story unfolds. There was a time when sleazy, sweaty, proudly trashy movies like this flourished on dangerous attraction, moral ambiguity, and people making terrible decisions beneath…

It is hard to wrap my head around the fact that in 2026, we are still being served BL series of this low quality. This mini series consists of roughly 7 to 8 episodes with a total runtime of approximately one hour, and it is so tedious that I am at a loss for words….

Set in Porto Alegre, Brazil, Night Stage arrives with a powerful impact. I was hooked early on, convinced the film was heading toward something special; however, the final twenty minutes veer into thriller tropes, resulting in an ending that feels unsatisfyingly unresolved. Drawing heavy inspiration from 80s erotic thrillers, the story features two gay men…

Anyone tracking these Japanese Pink films understands the formula: a ridiculous premise, a bit of a plot, and an hour of simulated gay sex that somehow keeps you hooked. This entry leans heavily into a body swap fantasy, posing the question of what would happen if you woke up in your attractive friend’s body and…

I didn’t realize before watching this that people from Middlesbrough call themselves Smoggies, but that is the setting for the British sitcom Smoggie Queens. I had never even heard of this show until now, so I went in completely blind to these six episodes, each lasting about half an hour, and it turned out to…

It is a genuinely fun return, with the entire gang back for season 2. Having watched both seasons back-to-back, I found this one felt slightly flat compared to season 1, though that might just be because I went straight from one to the other. It isn’t bad by any means; it is simply difficult to…

Up to this point, my experience with vertical BL dramas has been a struggle, defined by humiliating tropes and toxic dynamics. This production feels like a breath of fresh air by comparison, even if the central premise feels somewhat overused. With the LGBTQ+ market being large enough to warrant a full-scale push, every production company…

The first season concluded on a cliffhanger involving a drowning during a storm; while I suspected it was Kyle, it was actually Andre, the fisherman boyfriend, who went under. Given the quality of that initial run, I was surprised the creators produced a second season. This installment is slightly better, primarily because it attempts to…
