This week, Chris texted the group while drunk on a Wednesday at 12:30am and said "guys we NEED to do the 2011 movie Hold Your Peace. The movie is super boring, it's about a guy who's trying to break up his ex's wedding. But the bachelor party scene is incredible!" (There were a lot more spelling errors in the text, but we sheltered you from that) Was Chris right? Was the bachelor party incredible, or merely deeply upsetting? Let's find out!

Topics discussed:


The rules of King's Cup
MLM sex toy parties
Straight Simpson's incest porn pop-ups on gay websites
Twink shaming

Sorry it's late! Chris decided to eat at a disreputable but delicious teriyaki place and then be bedridden for 3 days with the worst case of food poisoning he's ever had, but this week, we watched the 2017 movie Kept Boy. When an aging sugar baby feels his boyfriend falling for the pool boy, he tries to win him back through trickery. But is it really him who's being tricked? Or the audience, by the most ridiculous twist ending we've ever seen?

Also, will this experience teach Chris anything about being more selective about where he eats? Probably not

Topics discussed:


Chris describes more of the gay porno "Boy Band"
That time when Elon Musk injecting twink blood
Tom Bombadil but gay
Scheme, heists, capers and hijinx
The sexual preferences of owls

This week, the very funny and excellent Duncan Robertson (author of Visegrad: A Novel) joined us to talk about the 2017 film B&B. When husbands Marc and Fred return to the B&B they were kicked out of one year ago for being gay, they find themselves embroiled in a murder plot so weird that even after talking about it for several hours, we're still a little hazy on the details. Will they survive the night? Is that hot Russian gangster there to kill them or bang them? What kind of a B&B doesn't have wifi and why would anyone stay there? Let's find out!

Topics discussed:


The national sport of dogging
Dad dick
Label makers
How many drinks would it take to turn a guy gay?
The Chuck Tingle Tabletop Roleplaying Game

This week, we watched the 2020 movie Death Drop Gorgeous. Not to confused with that other movie with a similar name, this one is about a slasher stalking the streets of gay Providence, RI. Can the case be solved by a down on his luck bartender, or an aging drag queen, or a pair of detectives one of whom looks like he's a literal baby? Or is one of the aforementioned people secretly the killer? Let's find out!

Topics discussed:


That episode of Star Trek where they all get horny for each other
Shaving pubic hair
Glory holes and what might be behind them
