Gaycation: Season 1

By Golu
Gaycation  is a mix of a travel show and a deep-dive documentary that feels incredibly personal. It follows Elliot Page and best friend Ian Daniel as they head out to explore what life is actually like for LGBTQ+ people in different corners of the globe. Instead of just hitting the tourist spots, they really get into the nitty-gritty of the local cultures in Japan, Brazil, and Jamaica. The first season is made up of four main episodes, each about 45 minutes long, and it wraps up with a heavy special episode about the tragic Pulse nightclub shooting in Orlando. In Japan, the pair hangs out in Tokyo , looking at the weird mix of high-tech living and old-school traditions. They check out a place where you can actually rent a friend, party in the tiny bars of Ni-chōme, and even see a "friendship marriage" at a temple. The most intense part is when a young guy uses their cameras to finally tell his mom he's gay, which shows how much pressure there is to just "fit in"...

Willam's Dark Room Duel (Reality Show)

By Golu

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)

Drug Shore (Chinese)

By Golu
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, ...

By Golu
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.

Gaya Sa Pelikula (Filipino Series) [Like In The Movies]

By Golu
Pinoy BL series seem to be catching up to the popularity of the Thai shows. And I must say that they are doing a pretty good job at it. Where Thai series started to get repetitive with so many shows based in a college setting with seemingly similar storylines, Pinoy series are offering the viewers with new and interesting stories and some really good sets and surroundings. This series was 8 episodes of about 25-20 minutes each. Karl, a 19-year old introvert architecture student is in the middle of an identity crisis. Prior to the start of the second semester in college and forced by his parents, he moves into his uncle's condominium unit so that he can learn to be financially independent. Karl takes on odd jobs online to do so. But when one of his major clients suddenly goes MIA, he is left short on funds and without a means to pay for his utilities. An opportunity presents itself when his cocky neighbor Vlad has to hide from his family and proposes to share Karl's space for th...
