Down Low (2023)
Shockingly Wild and Violently Fun
This movie is a raunchy, fast, insane, drug-fulled rollercoaster of fun, and I can't wait to see it again and again and again. It's also hard to talk about without giving away some of the main spoilers, so I won't write too much about the plot.
This movie was written, directed, and stars gay men. And although one of the plot points is a coming-out story, it is definitely NOT an "it's ok to be gay" movie. The audience is instantly dropped into a world where knowing when and how to use poppers, following Gindr Memes on Instagram, and attending at least one White Party is a prerequisite.
It is definitely a movie for adults. Not teens, but full-grown adults. I was shocked, delighted, and, despite my expectations, cried a little at the end.
Cowboy Bebop (2021)
Bummed they're not making anymore :(
I created an IMDb account to post this review. I was not expecting this show to be that good... the teaser they put out was just so bad and the original show is just so good. But you know what? Netflix did a pretty bang up job. Sure, John Cho is just a little too old to play Spike, despite doing a very solid job. And yes, it was a little cheesy. But the original was really cheesy! They music was on-point! They managed to capture the essence of Faye in the most perfect, kick-ass, respectful way (you could finally see past her boobs!). Very bummed they decided not to make a second season. I was really excited to see what they were going to do with Ed.
