Somehow – probably through voodoo – Billy Eichner and the gang made an accessible mainstream gay romantic comedy that is also super duper out-of-the-closet gay. I don’t know how they got the mixture right… but I didn’t come away thinking … Continue reading
That’s Amor is a new Netflix romantic comedy about a recently single (and unemployed) woman who takes a cooking class and catches the idea of the Spanish cooking instructor. That’s kind of literally it. There isn’t a gimmick, nobody is … Continue reading
