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?

  • Name: George    Message: Hey CoL, I just discovered your podcast and was listening to the virgin episode. While I noticed the gang talked a lot about emotional comfort and safety. I wished you all had spent a little time talking physical safety at bear events. While most folks are there for a good time, not everyone has good intentions.
