Meanwhile on Patreon, we discuss what the sex scenes do - or don't - add to the narrative.
Plus: why we wish the film had leaned into Max's relationship with Nicholas; Conrad's issue with the Brussel portion of the movie; and what the hotel interaction says about sex work, class, and privilege.
Conrad and Joe check out SEBASTIAN, the sophomore effort of Mikko Mäkelä, which concerns a writer, Max (Ruaridh Mollica), who uses his sex work as fodder for his "fiction" writing.
It's an intriguing concept, though the film occasionally loses focus on what it wants to explore.
Sebastian (2024) seems worried about being a queer Harold and Maude. Our latest episode explores Mikko Mäkelä's sex work drama Sebastian (2024). Out now for Patrons! www.patreon.com/cw/TheQueerG... #queerfilm #gaymovies #filmtok

On Patreon, @conrad-esq.bsky.social and Joe dig into the evolution of Eastern Boys' sex scenes, its fantasy ending, the unnecessary chapters, and why hotel worker Chelsea is the film's MVP.
Plus: Russian subtitles, the film's message about sex work and immigration, and changes Hollywood would make.
It's a Conrad pick as our theme on 'Sex Work and Pornography' continues with Robin Campillo’s genre hybrid, EASTERN BOYS (2013).
The film tackles several uncomfortable subjects, including a significant age gap between client and sex worker, an incredibly tense home invasion-style "party"

I mentioned a five star film last week and this is it.
Keep TELL ME EVERYTHING on your radar because it is *exquisite*
Conrad and Joe check out Moshe Rosenthal's exquisite 80s throwback, which just played Sundance.
Featuring incredible performances across the board, this 5 star film about a tumultuous father/son relationship feels extremely Pedro Almodovar-coded. It's one to watch when it becomes available!
Eastern Boys (2013) is an unsettling mix of romance and thriller, with an ever-present threat of violence. Our latest episode is out now on Patreon: www.patreon.com/cw/TheQueerG...
