Fire Island & Bros
Show Notes
Last year, the gay community was gifted not just one but TWO romantic comedies given release by major studios. Fire Island debuted on Hulu, while Bros was released to theaters, but both sought to bring a queer touch to the old rom-com formula. Fire Island is a modern adaptation of "Pride and Prejudice" while Bros borrows from Nora Ephron and Woody Allen. We're joined by our contributors Rob and Lauren as we compare the two films and ponder why one gets so much right, while the other gets a lot wrong.
