@conrad-esq.bsky.social and @joelipsett.bsky.social wrap up our theme with Camille Vidal-Naquet's 2018 film SAUVAGE ('Wild'), a purportedly "judgement-free" documentary-style, gritty depiction of sex work. It feels pretty moralistic to us!

Sauvage (2018) aims for unbiased realism but feels judgy. Our final episode on queer films in the 'sex work and porn' theme is out now for Patrons: www.patreon.com/cw/TheQueerG...

Conrad explains his problem with the intimate scenes in Mikko Mäkelä's sex work drama Sebastian (2024) in our latest Patreon bonus episode: www.patreon.com/cw/TheQueerG... #gayfilm #queermovies #sebastian

Conrad and Joe check out SEBASTIAN, the sophomore effort of Mikko Mäkelä, which concerns a writer, Max (Ruaridh Mollica), who uses his sex work as fodder for his "fiction" writing. It's an intriguing concept, though the film occasionally loses focus on what it wants to explore.

Do you sex scenes in #EasternBoys leave you cold like Joe? Our steamy Patreon bonus is out now: www.patreon.com/cw/TheQueerG... #gayfilm #lgbtmovie #queermovies

It's a Conrad pick as our theme on 'Sex Work and Pornography' continues with Robin Campillo’s genre hybrid, EASTERN BOYS (2013). The film tackles several uncomfortable subjects, including a significant age gap between client and sex worker, an incredibly tense home invasion-style "party"

No, we will not be covering this show (It’s not that kind of show 🍆)

Tomorrow: @conrad-esq.bsky.social and @joelipsett.bsky.social tackle the shifting genres and uncomfortable beats in #easternboys

I mentioned a five star film last week and this is it. Keep TELL ME EVERYTHING on your radar because it is *exquisite*

Conrad and Joe check out Moshe Rosenthal's exquisite 80s throwback, which just played Sundance. Featuring incredible performances across the board, this 5 star film about a tumultuous father/son relationship feels extremely Pedro Almodovar-coded. It's one to watch when it becomes available!

Eastern Boys (2013) is an unsettling mix of romance and thriller, with an ever-present threat of violence. Our latest episode is out now on Patreon: www.patreon.com/cw/TheQueerG... #easternboys #queerfilm #gayfilm #lgbtqia

Today on Patreon: @conrad-esq.bsky.social and @joelipsett.bsky.social discuss EASTERN BOYS (2013) which has a tendency to zig when you think it will zag

Conrad and Joe kick off our 'Sex work and Pornography' theme with Justin Kelly's 2016 true crime adaptation, KING COBRA. Starring Christian Slater (superb) and James Franco (ick) as predatory gay men, the film is stylish, but hollow. Bonus points for Molly Ringwald and Alicia Silverstone, though!

Tomorrow on both feeds: we’re kicking off the year with a new theme (sex work and pornography) and a new title, 2016’s KING COBRA. C/W: James Franco
