Mi querida señorita (Spanish) [My Dearest Señorita]

This film is a genuinely moving story about courage, identity and inner freedom, centered on an intersex person trying to figure out who they really are. The fact that an actual intersex actor was cast in the lead role is genuinely worth applauding. It is apparently a remake of a classic film of same name that came out in 1972. Since I have not seen the film, I really have references to compare, which is good.  Set in Spain, we meet Adela, a woman in her twenties and the only child of a conservative couple living in a small provincial town. Her days are mostly spent at the family antique shop, and her whole life has been shaped by her mother's overprotectiveness and total silence around her intersex condition, something she's faced real social discrimination for. Despite all the restrictions placed on her, she finds odd little pockets of normalcy in her life, and her closest connection is a gay priest, basically the only person she feels she can talk to freely. That quiet routi...

Willam's Dark Room Duel (Reality Show)

You can always count on OUTtv to give us something cheeky, campy, and totally steamy. This new series is just pure, unserious fun. Hosted by the one and only Willam Belli, it features a group of talented male strippers who are battling it out to see who can be named Pride.com’s King of the Dark Room. Willam isn't alone, though; she’s got a panel of judges who actually know their stuff. You’ve got the hilarious Meatball from Dragula, the legendary adult star Rhyheim Shabazz, a professional stripping manager named Yony, and Mama Mamba, who won Slag Wars and knows everything about burlesque. It’s a great mix of personalities that keeps the energy high.

The way the show works is pretty straightforward. For the first four episodes, two strippers go head-to-head. They start off with a quick one-minute lap dance and then move into a full stripping performance. Each episode has its own vibe—everything from sexy glow-in-the-dark routines and technical pole dancing to performances based on their dream jobs. They even did a spooky goth theme that was actually pretty cool. Each episode crowns one winner, who then moves on to the two semi-final rounds until they finally pick the big winner in the finale.

Honestly, I thought the show was actually quite decent. Let’s be real, doing lap dances and strip routines is not easy work at all, and you can really see the effort these guys put in. It doesn’t feel like those polished, fake reality shows you usually see; instead, it feels like a raw, funny, and very sexy celebration of queer nightlife. Since Willam is the host, you know you’re going to get plenty of quick wit and commentary where nothing is off-limits. And speaking of nothing being off-limits, the contestants definitely didn't hold back either. I was actually shocked when a couple of them showed up completely nude with everything on display! It definitely adds to that "real club" feel. Willam looked amazing and showed up in the best outfits for every single episode, though I can't really say the same for the judges—it felt like they wore the same clothes through the whole series! But despite that, the choreography was totally legit and you could tell the contestants were really giving it their all. There’s no fake drama or unnecessary editing here. The show knows exactly what it wants to be and stays focused on the competition without getting distracted by a bunch of nonsense. If you're looking for something fun that celebrates the art of the tease, it's worth a look.

It is a fun, raw, and very unfiltered look into the world of male stripping that stays focused on the talent rather than the drama. (5.5/10)

Sei no Gekiyaku (Japanese) [Dangerous Drugs of Sex]

Every person has their own unique way of dealing with loss. This film is as much a psychological thriller as it is a soft porn BDSM portrayal of two young men that makes the film overall horrifying as well as humane. It is really hard to describe the genre of this film in one word. Its important not that the film has some really disturbing scenes so if you go into seeing this film, please proceed with caution. Although any sexual non-consensual activity is not ok, this film has its won strange way of showing that suicide is not the only solution to all life's problems. Makoto is a regular office goer, who just finds out that his girlfriend is probably cheating on him. ON top of it, his parents sudden death coming back from a trip that he forced them to take, he gets completely dejected and decides to commit suicide.

Drug Shore (Chinese)

Apparently tis film was adapted by a true story Well, true or not, movies/series about drugs are not easy to watch. I have always said that drugs is like the end of life for anyone. For those who sink into this sea of addiction, some manage to swim upstream to recovery, while others cannot make it to the shore. The film may not be the best, but it does have a noble intention to remind everyone of the evil affects of drugs and combining that with sex. Ah Zhe is in a happy relationship with his influencer boyfriend. On his partner's birthday, they end up going to a party, which interestingly is being hosted at a drug dealer's house and this is where for the first time he is exposed to the world of drugs. The duo somehow do it just enough and come back home but next day Ah She gets invited by the dealer Xiao Fei for a meal. The dealer has a soft corner for Ah Zhe, but before anyone realizes, Ah Zhe's life spirals out of control when slowly he starts doing more and more drugs, ...

The Shortest Distance is Round 3: Fallen Flowers

Continuing with the weird trilogy of "The Shortest Distance", I am so glad that finally I am done with part 3 and won't have to deal with this again in future. Thankfully, as of now the makers have not announced any further parts; which will save all of us on this earth from the embarrassment of watching this in near future. After the first 10 minutes are used in sort of recapping bits of first two parts, the story moves forward. Haruto is now starting to have feelings for Ruka, the mysterious pole dancer from second part. In a fit of rage, Ruka ends up killing the goat man and to save him and Haruto, Shibahara asks them to go underground. Meanwhile Shibahara continues the search for Seiya (the guy who had cut off Haruto's penis). It turns out Seiya is now also taking care of the original club owner from part 1. Both of them were released after they had informed Shibahara of Aoyama's secret location. Shibahara tortures Seiya's boyfriend leading to Seiya killin...
