    The Living End (1992)
    Nov 5 2026

    Conrad and Joe are back in Gregg Araki territory as we discuss his first prominent feature, The Living End (1992).

    This "gay Thelma and Louise" film finds two HIV+ men on the lam as they deal with romance, nihilism, and homophobia.

    Plus: no budgets and no permits; Luke as a pin-up himbo; and why Joe struggled with some of the irreverent humour.

    TIFF 2026: La Bola Negra (2026)
    Oct 26 2026

    Now that La Bola Negra is out in limited release, Conrad and Joe can release our thoughts from TIFF 2026.

    From filmmaking (and former romantic) duo, Javier Calvo and Javier Ambrossi, the Spanish Netflix film follows three different stories of queer men dealing with homophobia, storytelling, and living an authentic lives.

    Featuring supporting turns from Penelope Cruz and Glenn Close, this is one of the most celebrated queer films of the year!

  • Holding The Man (2015)

    Holding The Man (2015)
    Oct 22 2026

    Our 'Sad Goodbyes and Roadtrips' sub theme on films dealing with HIV & AIDS continues with Neil Armfield's 2015 adaptation of Timothy Conigrave's 1995 memoir, Holding The Man.

    Is the film a mainstream reckoning for Australia's AIDS history (as local critics argued) or is simply a decent tearjerker? Conrad and Joe are divided on its success.

    Plus: casting Australian acting royalty; the terrible WIG game; and that punishing ~2 hour runtime.
