I am so glad this channel gets to see the amazing queer talent in this film, not just Joel Kim Booster, but also Bowen Yang and Matt Rogers. Every queer actor in it is a treasure and I'm thrilled we live in a time where they get to live in these characters and still be hugely successful. It has become a comfort watch kind of movie for me. I have watched it at least a dozen times since it was released and I love it so much.

[@PokhrajRoy.]

Petition to see Bowen Yang in dramatic roles. He did a good job here.

[@malakelabbadi04]

this is one of those queer movies that’s made by queer people for queer people and it’s beautiful to see

[@PokhrajRoy.]

I wanted to see a gay Jane Austen adaptation and I’m happy to see it in my lifetime.

[@mauritious1]

If you're into books, there are actually sooo many queer adaptations of Jane Austen books! I've read 2 queer/trans adaptations of pride and prejudice itself. So good! Just in case anyone is interested! :)

[@PokhrajRoy.]

@@mauritious1 That’s awesome. Please spread the information

[@Absurdist1968]

Here's a note: “Fire Island” in _Fellow Travelers_ is actually on Lake Ontario, and not the actual island itself (the show was produced mostly in Canada).

[@brightshining]

I knew it! I thought I recognized those beach scenes' lake ☺

[@clairesizer4057]

The guy who plays will is in how to get away with murder. Love him in that!

[@oldemanA]

Joel Kim Booster wrote the movie.... almost ALL the actors and director Andrew Ahn are gay and also Asian. Conrad Ricamora(the Mr Darcy role) is a very popular TV/Broadway actor, also gay.

[@PokhrajRoy.]

Margaret Cho is the MVP of this movie.

[@PokhrajRoy.]

Conrad Ricamora and Joel Kim Booster are such a GREAT pair ❤

[@PokhrajRoy.]

“SPREAD THOSE CHEEKS NOT THOSE CLIQUES” GET THE T-SHIRT READY

[@lacynut]

Lyme disease isn't exactly deadly but it's nasty enough to make sure to check for tics if one's in an area where they're about!

[@PokhrajRoy.]

Zane Phillips was an absolute revelation. He’s just brilliant and ethereal 🤩

[@michl8379]

There are so many wonderful things about this movie, but I think Will chucking the ice cream has to be at the top. It never fails to make me laugh. I actually had the fortune to meet Conrad Ricamora in person and he was so incredibly sweet ❤

[@racheldarmawangsa9589]

Some great queer movies you all should watch: Maurice, Weekend, Prayers for Bobby (so so sad but so good)!

[@lynnhettrick7588]

I loved Weekend!

[@PokhrajRoy.]

Even though it didn’t win the Emmy like we hoped it would, everyone who made the film is a winner in my eyes.

[@desireemcr410]

13:41 Yes, Josh! That is the real problem here.

[@PokhrajRoy.]

“Uns uns uns” is my new favourite genre of music

[@AStoryWorthTelling]

😂😂😂

[@edwardchen9619]

gay wholesome movies and gay dark horror movies are GETTING IT lately. i love it.

[@shaun8079]

I loved your breakdown of the gay community and dating, so many valid points that we as a group don’t or won’t talk about honestly enough. The gay community can be the best but also sometimes the worst community to be part of!

[@kevinb9146]

Y’all know who Conrad Ricamora (Will) is, don’t you? If you haven’t watched Shonda Rhimes series, How to Get Away with Murder, you need to. Connor and Oliver (Conrad) have a very up/down/fun relationship through the whole series. By the way Conrad and his partner got married last July! Love y’all and everything you do! Hi from Texas! I watch everything you do. You’re both fabulous!

[@alinachrist8416]

Ok, I was just wondering recently what an atrocity it was that you had not reacted to Fire Island. It's like one of my fav queer comedies ever. I love the Jane Aisten theme and honestly the protagonist was perfect for the adaptation.

[@kellifranklin4432]

I love that y'all do these shows and movies that have wonderful representation and LGBTQIA+ stories. Please consider watching Good Omens. It definitely has representation and amazing storylines!

[@lubie.placki00]

omg yess, i love good omens

[@aprilgirl4]

You guys are like my British KZbin version of Bowen Yang and Matt Rogers. So glad you watched this!

[@clarasundqvist6013]

watching alex take his time and explain what's happening to josh is so similar to how i watch movies with my best friend. it's a fun bonding activity and so heartwarming to see that dynamic in other people!

[@rene3283]

I love your channel! It feels as if I'm sitting with my friends watching all LGTQBIA+ content together and having meaningful conversations. would you ever do a live event? Maybe have a live gathering on Fire Island? I would so be down for that and get to meet you two in person. 😃

[@emmabruh]

I literally love this movie so much, also the ice cream chucking still has me dead

[@reamdelrey]

I have my beauty mask on and I should not laugh but Omg guys I can’t top smiling and laugh stooouuup Hhahaha 😭😭😭😭😅

[@sfav]

Manifesting Conrad Ricamora in: everything!!

[@katiemorrill4318]

Great review, and I love the discussions you guys stopped to give genuine time to!! thank you!! you guys should make a list of the top films/ shows that you've reviewed that you rewatch! Stuff that you didn't just like but that makes it into your normal non-youtube lives!

[@tickled__picklee]

Oh I LOVE 'Fire Island'! One of my comfort movies that I can watch a thousand times and don't get tired of it. And I stand by the fact that Alex is my long lost twin brother. I swear we react the same way to the exact same things! 💜💜💜

[@KabeloThosia]

I had a bad day today,but i soon as i saw the youtube notification that you uploaded this reaction about my favorite movie,i just felt so happy. Thank you for always making me laugh and learn about the community. And Alex,I'm totally manifesting a man for you😂😂❤❤

[@PokhrajRoy.]

Alex in Fire Island would be brilliant! Get the camera crew ready 🔥

[@jonathangarza3386]

So is there a gay beach resort somewhere in the UK, or does everyone go to Ibiza?

[@johnclerk1195]

A friend lives in NYC and they all go to Fire Island every summer.... From what I hear, and from the film, I might make it there someday. w00t

[@denisewood4817]

OMG!! I flippin love you guys!! I saw your reaction video to this, then went and watched the movie. I'm a 51 year old straight woman, but man I wish I was a gay man hahaha. I am obsessed!!

[@edenscarbrough9726]

Alex is in the mood for this reaction for sure.

[@larryaleshire4907]

The intersection of race, class, gender and sexuality needs to be addressed by more people of color in the public arena.. this film is a good start.

[@jayjpepedreamer]

Now watch Dicks: The Musical… Bowen plays God in that one.

[@keelyandere4956]

I love you two so much I'm watching from South African. You two are literally 2 opposites attract, love your friendship 💖

[@nightmare-fuel]

side note, bowen yang is so freaking cuteeee!

[@nonoeee]

😭😭not the hand gestures 9:33

[@jonathangarza3386]

I don't have an OF account. Of course I am 65.

[@nightmare-fuel]

i love this film! and the soundtrack has 2 perfume genius songs! (his cover of cant help falling in love is the one used in the rwrb V&A scene)

[@zitav2316]

I would love to see you reacting to Skam Germany (Druck) season 3 🙏 i love it and i think you'd like it too :) it's different than the og so it's not like you're watching the exact same show again :) not so many people have reacted to it so it would make me (and i'm sure many other people too) very happy ❤

[@annetomori4919]

season 3 of Druck is great! Season 7 with Isi is also really good queer representation

[@zitav2316]

@@annetomori4919 ohh good to know, i have only watched until season 4 so far so i definitely have to continue 😍

[@johnclerk1195]

The old connection "handshake" modem sounds sure made me feel old. You know that was 25-30 years ago, right? And now we sit here watching you at breakneck speeds..... isn't life grand? :P *applause*

[@errantrazor]

I started this video, and I’m going to have to put off watching the rest of it for a while. I just coincidentally watched this movie out of the blue yesterday after a year and a half of it being on Hulu, and I think I’ve just had enough of it for one week 😂

[@nuimaleko7]

I'm still recommending Deadloch on Prime. .

[@ddipcapt]

@ 11:23 I think Josh meant to say "Podiatrist" not pediatrician 😅

[@dramonmaster222]

Fire Island is definitely one to add to my movie collection.

[@nonoeee]

you guys are so pretty oh my😍 i adore you two!

[@davidhalley9795]

OMG! Yes, I hated the music at fire island (pines). DJ Susan Morabito was always there when I went and I didn’t go often. I wasn’t a fan of hers. I had to go to cherry grove for better music. From what I can see the movie doesn’t cover the two very different areas. Cherry Grove had a more ethnic flava. I don’t know how it is now but even with the “buffet” it’s a pretty amazing place to see….and boys keep up with your channel. I’m so looking forward for more. 😊

[@wayneboyd4372]

Love the reaction. Love the discussion. The movie was inspired by Pride & Prejudice.

[@virgosims2368]

Zane Phillips is a literal greek god🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@kairosvt3000]

if you're looking for some queer media that's a little different that what you usually watch here then i would love to see you guys react to Badhaai Do!! it's an indian film that came out a couple years ago about a lesbian and a gay guy who get married to avoid their families' pressure about marraige, it's a comedy drama!

[@lesyeuxofrory]

loved this movie so so much

[@cr5450]

Has Prisma been recommended? A beautiful thoughtful 2022 gay/trans Italian sweet drama series ❤🧡💛💚💙💜

[@wildestdreamer3891]

Let me just say that I’ve just closed my star+ app because you uploaded this and I hadn’t seen it so had to before watching you guys hahaha ❤❤

[@Jenzeeeee]

Outsource! LOL 🤣 this episode is too good to not to share with friends!

[@Morjorjorjor]

Okayy, I see you guys and your new title animation. Looks good guys!!

[@victoriagil3211]

Hi, I just wanted to recommend this Taiwanese series called we best love no 1 for you! It’s a great drama and if you don’t mind subtitles please consider reacting to it❤! There’s also a season 2 called we best love fighting mr 2nd!❤

[@edwardchen9619]

also, you dont need your friend to push you towards guys. i volunteer.

[@lubie.placki00]

I would love to see you reacting to good omens :) it's definitely worth watching

[@vladaguilar2287]

"Looking" S2 and movie please ✨😊

[@kimberquirky]

This this and thiiiiiis!

[@i.t.t.]

This film was so good in many ways but I didn't enjoy it for reasons I still cannot verbalise 🤔

[@memyselfandmyers]

Not the will part 😂😂

[@danieladalmaso9636]

The Britney song😍 i love this movie❤ and i love you, babies😘

[@aintnobody3000]

This was a fun movie

[@floppsymoppsy5969]

I love you both 💓

[@BigBilly-io3kf]

Fire Island has several communities on it. The Pines is mostly gay men; this is where this film was shot. Cherry Grove - mostly lesbian - is the next community over, separated by The Meat Rack. There are wild deer on the island, so ticks are prevalent. You’re told to stay on the paths, and avoid going thru the bushes, where ticks reside. People have gotten Lyme disease there for not adhering to the rules. Love Fire Island, but it does bring out the bad side in a lot of the gays. The NY - LA - SF gay communities are very different from one another. Even the six main lgbtq+ vacation destinations in the US are very different from one another as well. Hope you guys can make the circuit one day. BTW, I wasn’t a fan of the movie. Am staying away from BROS, as I can’t stand Billy Eichner, nor can, it seems, the majority of the gay community. He’s more than annoying.

[@MusicJayPe]

Josh is co cute.

[@memyselfandmyers]

I adore you both. 😮❤

[@asdabir]

Aah finally

[@MicahMann]

You 2 are so cute. Fun movie.

[@klausschroeder2454]

Please, watch Mattias & Maxime❤ amazing film with the hottest romantic gay scene ever❤🎉

[@Itssara98]

Consider watching genera+tion 2021 please

[@kimberquirky]

Another great!

[@ropasidi5154]

This movie is not believable!!!! Even that much effort to break stereotypes, not believeable!!

[@QueenMegaera]

Well, to be fair, that's a general trait of romantic comedies.

[@williamrothermund7705]

made it about 5 minutes through this piece of shit

[@villanelle-dyke]

pls pls pls watch uncoupled, the one with neil patrick harris
