MARY & GEORGE TRAILER - UNCUT
Added 2023-11-17 11:43:07 +0000 UTC
OMG!
We are sticking with our LGBTQ+ Herstory folks and look what saucy trailer just dropped
not sure any of us are ready for this, but are we gonna react to it?... ABSO-BLOODY-LUTELY!
Fans at ready
Enjoy xoxo
Jane Austin's real book Pride and Promiscuity is very raunchy her publishers would not let her publish her gay sex works, her sister hid the original writing and it became discovered and fills in so many gaps. How much more went on that has been hidden?

Male actors dressed as female roles then and played the romances, so it's highly possible xx

Well, I think the reason why Nick gets cast to play queer characters so often is because he is a great actor and embodies his characters so well. He puts all his heart and soul and emotions into them and makes them feel so real. His micro expressions are so on point. He makes all of his characters feel so real and that is why I fall in love with them so easily. I can’t wait to watch him be ruthless in this series and get mounted (as one of his fellow actors said) by many, many people. 😛

I am SO READY for this omg 😱 did some digging and idk how much they’re going to have to embellish this story
Also the irony of Nick playing the “first openly gay prince” to a notorious king’s lover

Oh my god, I just realized where I know the king from…it’s Van Gogh from that Doctor Who episode!!! 😱

Yeah but now they straight call them lovers when talking about their r/s. So it's confusing that they would call George and James lovers but not George and Charles. There must not be enough historical evidence discovered yet to call them lovers otherwise they use that term as they do for George and James 🤔

I think the term "favorite" was used as a euphemism for lover. So George was called James's favorite and everyone knew what that meant without having to spell it out. Kind of like "special friend" was used later.

I do that all the time. That's how I've learned the majority of the history not taught in schools.

@Alex Just make sure you have located the fan before you guys start reviewing.

omg that tailer was fantastic.! Nicholas G embodies this period piece perfectly. I can't wait to see it.

shakespeare definitely was queer!! some of his sonnets were addressed to the fair youth who was a man. i guess some people still don't like to admit he wasn't straight (or don't know), but i think it's relatively widely accepted

It’s based on a non-fiction book, “ The King’s Assassin” by Benjamin Woolley
Charlie

omg! So happy to see you react to this so soon. Can't wait for the show to come out!

I may have got hold of the wrong end of the stick here but Josh - stable boy/stable hand; chill, no need to hold your head in your hands. You're never going to get it right everytime for everyone on your channel. I don't think anyone is going to be upset.
Pip
2023-11-18 01:03:49 +0000 UTC
Didn't know this was based on a book. Like historical fiction? Or a biography of sorts?
I looked up the actual historical figures not the book. Didn't come across anything that suggested him and Charles were lovers tho
Luna
2023-11-18 00:42:28 +0000 UTC
The book this is based on posits that George assassinated James so he and Charles could take over. James was not governing how they wanted to govern. Charles I and George also had a close "friendship."

Nick Galitzine's last name is easy to pronounce...just sound it out...... Gal It Zine...lol

Julianne Moore won the Oscar for “Still Alice” as a woman with early onset Alzheimer’s. It was a riveting performance. Can’t wait to see her and Nick in this.

I was really curious about what tone this series was gonna take exactly. Looks like it's somewhere between Black Sails and Spartacus. Both from STARZ, and I loved them, I freaking love STARZ in general.

I’m a straight cis female and looking forward to this show. I’m glad that a lot more diverse shows are becoming mainstream! ❤️

“Ga - lit - zine” I think it’s pronounced that way 🤍

Watching you two blag your way through English history and Julianne Moore’s film credentials was hilarious! I almost didn’t need to see the trailer (okay, I’d already seen it before this video dropped), because I enjoyed just laughing at your introduction!! 🤣🤣

When I saw this trailer yesterday via Nick’s Instagram, I was like “Josh and Alex are going to die!!” 😂

Nicholas has been playing queer characters since the beginning of his career, before he became more well know, so I don’t know if he’s getting the roles because we thirst after him lol

This is going to be so good! It appears as though Nicholas has become more versatile in his film roles. A bottom in RW&RB and now a top in this. Good on ya, Nick!

Gentlemen of the Bed Chamber anyone? Real title. I'm going to read the book that was posted in the Book chat before it airs. There is a historical account and a fictional one I think. They will be on my Christmas reading list.

if this remains the true soundtrack, this series could be a true masterpiece

Yay, can't wait for this!
😊Some fun facts for yall (since I can't help myself but to look into it whenever something is based on a true story)😊
SPOILERS ahead I guess 😜
- One of George's titles was Gentleman of the Bedchamber. Whose duties are described as "Assisting the monarch with dressing, waiting on him when he ate, guarding access to his bedchamber and closet and providing companionship"
- George was the first commoner in more than a century to be elevated to the position of Duke, the Dukedom of Buckingham was recreated for a second time for him
-He was the only Duke of England at that time who was NOT a member of the royal family.
- George once wrote to James: "I desire only to live in the world for your sake"
-while James once wrote to George: "God bless you, my sweet child and wife, and grant that ye may ever be a comfort to your dear father and husband"
- George and James were together for 11 years. James (born 1566) and George (born 1592) had a 26 year age gap. They met in 1614 when George was 21 and James was 47 and remained together until James untimely death due to illness 1625 at age 58
-George died in 1628 at the age of 35 when was assassinated by disgruntled soldier who had once been under his command

Ooh I hadn't heard of this before, but it has all the ingredients (Nicholas) to be a lot of fun😈. Can't wait to see it.
P.S. Aancient Ro(mans) and Greeks were said to have sex with men for fun, and sex with Woman for procreation.

Fun fact: in the National Portrait Gallery in London, their portrait of George hangs next to James I with a little sign explaining their relationship!

😂 When i was reading RWRB I kept having to put the book down to Google about all of these people that were being mentioned. Teach that in history please and thanks, i’d have paid more attention in class 💃🏽

Nicholas' character in Bottoms is so much funnier because he's so good in these serious gay roles.
Sam
2023-11-17 13:06:41 +0000 UTC
Oh wow! I can’t wait to see you guys react and I have to agree. Historians have known for centuries about famous men and women who are absolutely had same sex romances and they didn’t feature in Media because it was against the law and then just seen as a sin or gross. The relatively recent film, the favorite explores the sapphic side of Queen Elizabeth the first ( who was a virgin to the extent that my late mother was meaning, not at all.) Julius Caesar was described as every woman’s husband in every man’s wife, because he was such an enthusiastic bisexual.
And on it goes . I would love to see you guys do a history section!

I believe Nicholas said there are 14 people he "sleeps with" in this show, so you best believe Raunchy is the word

To answer your question: Yes, it's a true story 😁 George Villiers existed and was the lover of James I.
Fun Fact: In the RWRB book, Henry actually mentions them when he talks to Alex about queer figures in history. And now Nicholas is playing George aswell... 😂

Can we include Interview with a Vampire in the category of retelling historical, straight-washed stories? 😄
