My Fake Boyfriend (2022)
Makes me embarrassed to be gay
Who wrote this monstrosity? This is gay culture at its most superficial. Only watch this movie if you are a majority culture gay who hates anyone over 175 lbs or with skin darker than a paper bag.
RuPaul's Drag Race: Catwalk (2022)
Rupaul done fugged up drag race
She literally isn't sending anyone home. The whole.poitn of the show is to eliminate ppl. It's annoying that 4 years later there is still 5 girls.
This season is the worst by far. Whoever wins will likely be the least talented in history.
Euphoria: All My Life, My Heart Has Yearned for a Thing I Cannot Name (2022)
Walking on paper
My title, Cassie walking on the playbill. The pigs walking on Lexi's letter. Small detail, but captured why I have to give the finale a 10, balance, symmetry, reflection.
Watch with a keen eye...the cops at Cal's and Fez, lexi and rue's fathers, the songs from rue and ole boy, Jules coming to sew rue, rue going to see ole boy.
My friends that's world class writing.
Euphoria: The Theater and Its Double (2022)
My 3rd 10 of the season
Okay, so I rarely give out 10s. Like literally I just believe that 3 10s are almost impossible for a series during its entire run, nevermind in one season. Yet, here we are, and Sam has done it again.
First, Rue got a well deserved break from caring the show (although we did get key plot updates) and the episode clearly belonged to Lexi, and she gave. The back stage demands, the center stage presence, it all made sense.
Moreover, the seemless weaving of the play and reality was exquisite.
I can't think of a better TV series (aside from the wire )
Euphoria: Stand Still Like the Hummingbird (2022)
Perhaps a perfect season in the making
Never has a show evoked so many emotions from me. When Jules said, we flushed them....my heart stopped along with Rue. This was an intervention and I was not ready.
If there was any doubt that Zendaya is force of nature, she removed all doubt today.
Euphoria: Trying to Get to Heaven Before They Close the Door (2022)
Hit em up
In the world of TV a series is lucky to have 2 or 3 perfect 10 episodes in their whole multiseason run. With the sole exception being The Wire, I can't think of one series to do it more than once a season, and rarely does it take place during the season premiere for fear of peaking too soon.
But Euphoria has never been a shy show, and this isn't a shy episode. There's tons of nudity, but never in a sexual manner. There's tons of drugs, but never in a glorious manner. And then there's the music, which almost seems to act as this additional on screen character itself.
Without giving too much away, the episode begins with a backstory, this time it's Fez, and he is definitely the star of the episode. The first 30 minutes are intense, suffocating the viewer with raw brutal reality that is America, all while punching out dope beats and capturing the paradoxes of these streets.
Cut to a high school NYE party where Sam shows off with some of the best cinematography I have seen in ages. The scene where Nate leaves the bathroom only to lock eyes with Fez is a moment in time worthy of all the awards. (Notice this is the only time we see POV of Nick, brilliant. Allows the slow burn of Fez's eventual explosion).
No doubt the climax will hit you like a fr3sh zip of fishscale, leave your face numb. Watch it, then rewatch it.
RuPaul's Drag Race UK: Dragoton (2021)
This is garbage momma
I don't know who wrote this episode or what that choero was...but this episode was complete trash.
The mini challenge was fun, but awkward and the main challenge was awkward and not fun at all.
