Fire Island

Send us a text


Happy Wine Wednesday! I'm back this week with Abbey and a very
new special guest - Marcus - to discuss the delightful rom com,
Fire Island.

Our conversation kicks off with our thoughts on one of the things
the writers did really well - intimacy.  We share our
favorite romantically intimate scenes between Noah and Will,
along with our favorite platonic intimate moment between Noah and
Howie. 

We discuss director Andrew Ahn's thoughts on the benefits of
having an all queer cast when filming romantically intimate
scenes like the beautifully shot rain scene.  Next, we get
into one of my favorite themes - chosen family.  One of the
delightful parts of Fire Island is its exploration of chosen
family and intimate, but platonic bonds. Marcus and Abbey share
their thoughts on how the writers  explored variances in the
gay experience on Fire Island — a place considered by some as a
haven for the LGBTQ+ community — as well as the variances in the
kinds of relationships gay people value.

Because Abbey has now joined me to discuss two properties known
for featuring full frontal male nudity, I had to ask their
thoughts on whether Fire Island could have benefitted from the
same.  We talk replay value of Fire Island and whether or
not we would like a sequel to the film.  As always, we close
with our thirsty thoughts.  

Thanks so much for listening! 

Friendly reminder - we drink, we know things, and we use adult
language.
