Show Notes
Jess is joined by writer/comedian Carolyn Bergier for an honest review and conversation around both Billy Eichner's "Bros" and Joel Kim Booster's "Fire Island." We review the movies, dissect the Twitter discourse, analyze the marketing and theorize why "Bros" failed at the box office. Jess attended an event with Billy Eichner and Harvey Fierstein the night before recording (Billy's first interview since his ~bad week~ on Twitter) and recaps that evening. We also discuss the true target audience for "Bros," Carolyn's MoviePass trauma, the difference between gay men & women in supporting queer content and more!
