COL667: LTA… BROS (film)

In this episode of Cubs Out Loud, it’s time for another Let’s Talk About…Well, actually, the guys bring back COL Movies for a bit to discuss the movie “Bros”. Talked up as the first mainstream LGBT rom-com, listen in as the cubs share their thoughts on the film, its hype and the recent uproar it has received from fans and critics alike. Does it live up to expectations or is it just another gay movie?

Show Topic

LTA… BROS (film)

Hollywood made the first ever ‘mainstream’ all LGBTQ romantic comedy, BROS. Opening weekend box office numbers did not match expectations/hopes. Opinions abounded online with digital finger pointing. Having seen the film, what do we think are the ups and downs of this movie? Did it meet our expectations? Do we care about it much?

COLFB424: BEAR: Play Lists

The Bear and Gaymer community learned this past week about the unexpected passing of Greg Ballard. As we mourn our collective loss, this week we present a COL Flashback to episode 424 from July 23, 2021. Join us as we listen to a special show of COL Episode 424 with the unforgettable Greg Ballard.

If you would like to contribute to the GoFundMe campaign to cover funeral expenses for our beloved Greg Ballard, click here. The donation campaign established will help his cousin cover the cost of funeral expenses with any overage of funds being donated in his name to the Trevor Project, a cause he deeply believed in having experienced prejudice and hatred in his youth. 

Greg followed up after recording this episode with us and provided the following comment from his previous collab channel on YouTube to the posting of the original COL424 episode.  GAMER: REDEFINED: So much fun being on the show! Great group of guys!

  • Curvesandcrevices: Hey COL Hosts! I wanted to let you know how much I am appreciating the new format, now that I have listened to a few episodes. I thought I would really miss the What’s Going On and Tumblr segments each week, but it’s been really great the way you’ve changed it. I  think the focus on the guests or topic on the shows is perfect, and the catchup show being monthly and without a topic gives it much more room to be its own thing. Change is hard, but done right, is so worthwhile. Always appreciate your efforts; keep it up! /Chris

  • New comment on “COL455: Title Competing”: James Butterfield

Hey guys!  Great show as usual! Some things to clarify  – contestants are judged partly on audience reaction, and that we are the entertainment for the weekend. We were told that if we had a fantasy scene we would get rehearsal time, but when we arrived it was just a sound check.  So we did have a chance to be on the stage and get a feel for it, but there was no run-through.

As contestants, we were given pink name badges instead of yellow, so everyone knew we were competing.  So there was no way a contestant could hide.

As for the money issue – I know I spent quite a bit just preparing for NAB, and I’ve now spent a whole lot more just lining up travel!  Also, my tax return is buying my new title vest!

For the raffle ticket sales – my drive for selling was to raise as much money as possible.  I really wanted our total to be higher than last year.

Thanks again for the great show!!

James – 2018 Mr NAB Admirer, 2017 Klondykes Glitter Bear

Show Topic

If being a part of the Bear community is about one’s mindset, than how does one go about having a healthy sense of self? Is it possible to be happy and see what each of use is in a positive light?
