DOWN LOW - UNCUT
Added 2024-02-26 12:00:06 +0000 UTCOkay warning - this film is like Fire Island - on steroids. As a cinema would say - RATED R for almost everything you can imagine!
with that warning out the way, we actually think as funny as it is, it says a lot for representation and inter-generational friendships in the community (once you get past all the atrocities! - no idea how this is gonna be suitable for YouTube!)
Apologies in advance for the auto focus playing up throughout. teething issues in our new space - probably best not to put a smiley face right behind us lol
Enjoy!
xoxo

My guess why the focus kept shifting. The camera is programmed to look for faces and focus on the faces. It's first step in "guessing" a face is to look for the eyes and the eyes on that pillow in the background kept confusing it. It's eyes are bigger than yours so it thought "there's the most prominent face," focused on it and then realized "that's not a face" and went back to you and back and forth. Because I understood how it works (at least that's my theory), for me half the laughs of this movie was that back & forth. As for the movie: I rarely like absurdist comedies but this one kind of worked. I might watch again.

2024-08-24 20:11:11 +0000 UTCThe guy that wants the dead body is played by Simon Rex. For those old enough, Rex did porn for a while before joining MTV in the early years in the 1980s. It looks like he has acted over the years (as many do) without much fame. I didn't realize Gage (Cameron) was in Euphoria and had co-written the screenplay based on a version of Pretty Woman (which is referenced in the movie). Quinto took this role during the pandemic to do something different. I'm sure he doesn't think it's his best work, but it is in a trend of gay actors playing gay roles which is nice to see.

2024-03-04 09:17:35 +0000 UTCYou're not going to believe this (Fellow Travelers reference). But guess who the costume designer was for Down Low? Lucy Hawkins. No, really. Check out the credits.

2024-03-03 16:07:46 +0000 UTCYes it's fun when you suddently recognise someone. I mostly know Judith Light from Ugly Betty.

2024-03-01 20:35:17 +0000 UTCI do this too. But only with these two. Always feels like first-time watching a movie with hilarious friends. Love it. And more often than not, I also get to learn new shit this way as Josh and Alex are quite educational on so many subjects.

2024-03-01 19:02:32 +0000 UTCalso: when you realize, that on a tennis court gary is talking about how he thinks, that his cancer is his own fault, but you somehow assume, that he talks about his unhappy, closeted life and go on like "yeah, it is his fault" - pretty funny :P

2024-02-29 19:03:41 +0000 UTCThe lake was perfect, the only entity which truly accepted him was his dog, and they were together in the lake. Loved your reaction.

2024-02-29 00:27:53 +0000 UTCDeath seems to be being featured a lot in the viewing being produced, I think it's just in the series's about teenage love there's not been deaths

2024-02-28 23:10:15 +0000 UTCMaybe the message is that you never know how long you may have, so you may as well live true to yourself. Just put in a weird and unusual way, big lol
Gina Lipkin
2024-02-28 23:03:27 +0000 UTCThis was WILD. What kind of person brings up your children mid sex work? Or even during a hook up? Either scenario is deeply unprofessional and unsexy! A very fun reaction for an absolutely entertaining film

2024-02-28 21:17:57 +0000 UTCHmmm. 🤔 Started watching this after enjoying your chaotic and hilarious intro, then thought, ‘I don’t know if I can watch this’, so I will give it another go tomorrow, especially as I do love Zac Quinto.

2024-02-28 17:45:50 +0000 UTCI had to watch this over two days because it was so bonkers I couldn’t take it in one sitting lol. I’m so glad I watched it with you two and not alone! I really thought Cameron was going to put the egg down Gary’s pants at several points. Also I LOVE that song they kept using. Alex Newell can do no wrong.

2024-02-28 16:42:58 +0000 UTCOMG!! I just got to the “the heart wants what the heart wants” bit and I suddenly realised it’s Angela from “Who’s The Boss” (aka Judith Light)!!! 🤣🫠 I’m definitely showing my age with that reference! 🙈
Sam S
2024-02-28 16:22:15 +0000 UTCYeah, this was a crazy one. I enjoyed it. It was funny. It was cringey as fuck at times. Alex, yes, your top appears to be mauve on camera, and Josh's looks a midnight blue. Also, we're going to need to see your bag of costumes. lol

2024-02-28 14:44:17 +0000 UTCI’m late to the party but I’m excited to watch now Oh Alex, you’ve got your work cut out for you with this edit! Thanks guys for reacting to this!

2024-02-28 09:54:23 +0000 UTCThe first time I tried to watch it when it was first released, I couldn’t finish it. Waited a few days and then revisited it and loved it.
Diane Furlong
2024-02-28 09:53:42 +0000 UTCThere is nearly a 20 year age gap between them IRL - Zachary Quinto is 46.

2024-02-27 15:07:52 +0000 UTCWhat did we just watch. I feel guilty for laughing🤣🤣
Mel Baker
2024-02-27 14:32:12 +0000 UTCWhat fun! Not what I expected, but I teared up at the end. And nice to see two broadway icons, Ms. Audra and Ms. Judith. Definitely friends of the community. Judith Light was devastating in the versace miniseries.

2024-02-27 03:09:20 +0000 UTCI watched this film a month ago but could not finish it because it was so strange. You allowed me to watch it again but this time fully and I thought it was great!
Domenic Cieri
2024-02-27 02:35:42 +0000 UTCYou guys did it again! Made me watch and (sort of) enjoy a movie I probably never would have watched on my own. I think the most fun is watching you guys being as chaotic as the films we watch together.

2024-02-26 23:45:10 +0000 UTCStraight into the extreme intense sexual activity learning curve for the non-gays, lol
Gina Lipkin
2024-02-26 23:15:31 +0000 UTCI watched it as soon as it came out on Netflix (here in the U.S.), and I liked it. Crazy AF, yes, but entertaining as well. 😄

2024-02-26 20:31:43 +0000 UTCOkay… controversial opinion….but I tried watching this last week - I did NOT like it all. Turned it off before it finished. I DID like Fire Island when I watched it when first released. Can’t like everything all the time. 🤷🏼♀️
Shari
2024-02-26 16:43:03 +0000 UTCThat was fun to watch! 🤣🤣 I mean, it obviously was meant to take the chaotic over the top approach!! it's just what I needed, a brilliant way to a good belly laugh!! 👏🤣 Well done! Thanks guys once again! 😍
Nikki Hearn
2024-02-26 14:06:54 +0000 UTCOh yeah! Will watch this tonight. Looking forward to it 🫶🏽
Frances
2024-02-26 12:57:06 +0000 UTCCan you make specific videos free to watch for people who don't have Patreon? If so that could be an alternative, if you can't edit it, so you think it's suitable for YouTube without cutting too much, if its not patreon exclusive. Yes this movie is a lot at times. 😆 They both have problems, and now another big one to deal with. Love your shirt Josh, even if it's supposed to be more purple than blue.
Sara Nissen
2024-02-26 12:12:59 +0000 UTCYay!!! Oh and Josh is very bright blue and Alex quite blah, and you both look quite jaundiced, but otherwise very fabulous.
