“I’m not messing around. I’m doing important stuff.” We watched “Superman” (2025) with our friend and resident Supes expert, Billy Roach, and we welcome our newest Kryptonian overlord. In a growing list of Supermen, David Corenswet has proven himself to be quite possibly the dorkiest entry, and gosh darn it, it’s so endearing! We’re not going to waste too much time answering the trolls’ review bombing this movie - instead, we’re going to celebrate what we liked about it. Not the least of which is the chemistry between the leads - Corenswet’s Superman and, yes, Nicholas Hoult’s Lex Luthor. Okay, Rachel Brosnahan is doing some fine work as well, but we’re really digging Nicky and Corny’s performances as these iconic characters. It’s gotta be tough to bring anything new to Superman and Lex Luthor after so many iterations, but these two brought it - and let’s be honest, they’re not too tough to look at either. Nicky’s baby blues are worth the price of admission! We don’t forget about this press tour, in which our two boys are publicizing their aforementioned chemistry and landing the crucial disposable income of the gay male moviegoing audience.

"Dinosaurs eat man. Woman inherits the Earth." It's a double feature summer at Movies That Made Us Gay, and we watched the original "Jurassic Park" and the latest entry "Jurassic World: Rebirth" with our friend and the newest member of the MTMUG Five Timers Club, Hiko Mitsuzuka. His monogrammed smoking jacket is on back order. Listen, what else can be added to the conversation about the original Jurassic Park? Yes, Laura Dern was a sexual awakening for many a young gay girl (and boy), yes the Dilophosaurus is a lesbian icon (much like the aforementioned Laura Dern), and yes Robert Muldoon (Bob Peck) in kahki short-shorts made us feel some type of way with those bulging thighs. But we're here to add to the conversation as well as talk about the latest - and possibly queer-est (most queer?) entry into the Jurassic canon. While there may be subtext indicating a possible future love story between Dr. Henry Loomis (Jonathan Bailey) and Zora Bennet (Scarlett Johansson), we would like to point out that Jonathan and SacrJo could still turn out to be gay besties in the inevitable sequel. Did Scarlett let out a sigh of relief when she found out her male lead in this film is an out gay male actor? Possibly. Should the filmmakers have just given in and let Jonathan play the role using his normal accent? Listen, Sam Neill's hybrid Kiwi-American accent worked just fine in the original. "Slutty little glasses" and questionable accents aside, Jonathan Bailey and Scarlett Johansson are a welcome addition to the Jurassic family. Is that a read on previous cast members? We'll let you decide. "Clever girl."

“Well guys, we've made it to the end of the summer in one piece, except for a few campers who are lepers.” We’re taking a trip to Camp Firewood, and watched David Wain’s Wet Hot American Summer for our July 4th episode. Opening in dozens of theaters in the summer of 2001, Wet Hot American Summer gathered a loyal fan base from home video rentals and DVD sales. Set on the last day of camp, in the summer of 1981, a group of horny counselors try to complete their unfinished business of romances before the day ends. The movie is a litmus test of whether you can hang with us, and we’re huge fans of everyone involved. This is the gang who brought us The State on MTV after all. We have the return of one of the first ladies of MTMUG, Janeane Garofalo, as our favorite head counselor, Beth, and an early movie appearances of the likes of Amy Poehler, Bradley Cooper, and Elizabeth Banks. Wet Hot American Summer is a constantly quotable, raunchy comedy. Did we mention the hottest guys that fill this cast? Ken Marino serving body-odd-oddy in those little cut-off shorts, Chris Meloni as the camp chef, and the Michael Ian Black and Bradley Cooper man-on-man love scene.
