8 NEW Queer Christmas Films Coming In 2021!
Posted on 2 December, 2021Last year, 2020, was full of a LOT… a year that will not be forgotten for ages to come. But there were some good things – such as all of the Queer Christmas films that broke new ground! Hallmark finally released a film with a gay storyline with The Christmas House, Lifetime progressed from the gay sub-story to a true gay Christmas storyline with “The Christmas Setup”, and we had a few other films that…

Fire Island
Posted on 10 November, 2020The Not-So-Good What to say… or rather, how do I justify scoring “Fire Island” a 0.5 out of five stars? It’s actually rather easy if I follow my rhubric! (And that’s without getting into the actually bad parts of the show) It’s reality-tv; there is no plot – so how can I rate something without a script to compare? The cast are not actors but real life persons playing themselves. Ok, there’s one or two I…

More “Kinda” Queer Christmas Films
Posted on 1 November, 2022In 2020, I shared my Christmas post that stirred up a bit of discussion: Christmas Films that are Kinda Queer.

It was only upon further examination within their synopsis that you learn that all of these films are…

Queer Music Films
Posted on 1 June, 2023There’s a fine line between a queer musical and a queer music film. It’s subtle but rather distinctive. The first is a film whose plot includes songs pertaining to the story; the latter is a film whose story revolves AROUND music or the music industry itself. Yes, it’s rather confusing because many films have music soundtracks – but aren’t musicals. And there are some films that are both music films AND a musical – including…

Queer Reality-TV Films
Posted on 26 June, 2023“Reality-TV” and “Film” usually do not go together. Which is something I discovered with this month’s theme – despite Reality-TV being a legit genre. Reality-TV shows are typically more a TV/Web series rather than a film, and a film that has a “reality-TV’ genre is quite frankly just a documentary. So what exactly is the difference? And perhaps the bigger question is: does a queer reality-tv film actually exist? I’ll confess that this month’s queer…
