The Plot Thickens (And So Do We)

A gay film nerd and a gay jock dissect the movies that define queer culture. From horror camp classics like *Mommie Dearest* to unexpected action cult favorites, we explore why certain films become essential queer viewing. Expect sharp analysis meets sports-bar banter, cultural context, behind-the-scenes tea, heated debates about who's hot and who's not, and plenty of laughs as we unpack cinema through two very different but gloriously gay lenses.
