Oddly, I liked the world-building and setups in the first half of this film. Seems most people hated that… whereas I was deeply disappointed with the running and the screaming in the second half (where most felt it finally limped … Continue reading
While I’m not the target audience for a gay rom-com, I’m still human and this Hulu original was charming and occasionally funny. I’m sure I missed out on some nuance and in-jokes and the politics of various gay male subgroups … Continue reading
