The future is in your hands... what next?
Added 2023-08-27 15:04:56 +0000 UTCGood afternoon beautiful people!
I am back again as there's a small break in the F1 due to the weather!
So... let's talk about what next!
Some of you may have seen the video already but over this past few months Courtney-Jai and I have struck up a great friendship and have decided that we are going to collab. We have a whole ton of ideas of different videos (exclusives for you guys, exclusives for his) but one thing thats for sure is we are going to collab react to Bad Buddy which I am very excited about and I know some of you will be too!
I've also been chatting to Alex and Josh over as A Story Worth Telling as we're all London based gays to see what ideas we can come up with between us so keep an eye on that too but no timeline on that one yet.
But for us here... what would you like to see next? I will suggest a couple of options but if you have a different idea please hit me up in the comments!
Love, always

2023-09-06 11:41:18 +0000 UTCSame here, Erin. Nothing showing it nearby which is a bummer (I'm way out in the sticks; we already have to drive 45 minutes to get to any movie theater). Looks like I'll have to fit it in on our trip to get 'big city' groceries next week.

2023-09-06 01:52:41 +0000 UTCI am preparing myself to cry a lot! ♥️♥️♥️
Ingrid Machado Pena
2023-09-06 00:49:43 +0000 UTCIn Brazil is going to be in November. In US on Friday!!!! 🙊
Ingrid Machado Pena
2023-09-06 00:48:49 +0000 UTCI just watched the trailer again, and am in tears, I guess I had better bring tissues, though as of right now no theaters near me have showings listed…
Erin
2023-09-05 00:54:18 +0000 UTCWhy did I think it was November?
Erin
2023-09-05 00:46:40 +0000 UTCI already did Love, Simon when it first came out. some of my most popular content on youtube pre-heartstopper!
Jackie-Ross Lavender
2023-09-04 19:48:37 +0000 UTCI would like to see Schitt’s Creek (seasons 3 - 6), Love, Simon. Have you seen the movie “Beautiful Thing”? It’s one of my favorite queer movies.
Male Gutpunching
2023-09-04 18:41:15 +0000 UTCI haven't seen it yet Jackie, so would definitely watch it if you do review it.
Michael
2023-09-03 18:06:03 +0000 UTCYeah, I am trying to keep my expectations low but I love their story so much that I want the adaptation to do well. I would prefer a miniseries instead of a film, but that's what we are going to get. I've been reading some reviews and even though some criticism is there, overall they are good reviews so far. 😊
Ingrid Machado Pena
2023-09-03 01:35:16 +0000 UTCI like the feel/vibe of the trailer & clip. It feels like it’s got room to breathe. If I’m honest my expectations are low because I think it’s a challenging book to adapt, but I hope to be proven wrong and I’m looking forward to seeing it!
Rowan Cannell
2023-09-03 00:53:49 +0000 UTCWhat do you think?
Ingrid Machado Pena
2023-09-02 23:47:34 +0000 UTCAh, I have now. Thanks for mentioning it!
Rowan Cannell
2023-09-02 23:47:03 +0000 UTCFingers crossed! I am excited, but nervous! Have you seen the clip they released yesterday, I think?
Ingrid Machado Pena
2023-09-02 23:33:39 +0000 UTCI don’t know when you guys are going to get it but Aristotle and Dante will be out in theaters in the US next weekend. Hopefully they did a decent job with it!
Rowan Cannell
2023-09-02 23:13:54 +0000 UTCAlthough my vote is for Heartbreak high, I am an aussie after all, and this is an Australian production, the Interview with the vampire tv series should be on that list. It is rampant gay fun.
Beach gurl Bi
2023-08-29 11:38:57 +0000 UTCIt's definitely a good show for sure
Megan Brady
2023-08-29 07:12:16 +0000 UTCTo be honest, the only reason I voted for it was because I had seen it already and basically enjoyed it, while the other three I was either not interested in, knew nothing about, or had seen and not liked. So you can take my vote with a grain of salt.
Lane Wright
2023-08-28 17:08:47 +0000 UTCDruck (German Skam), Pride, Schitt’s Creek are all amazing
Laurie Barber
2023-08-28 15:40:27 +0000 UTCEven better! 🥰
Graham & Ruth May
2023-08-28 13:38:25 +0000 UTCSchitts I would love to do all the seasons as its been so long since I've watched it I can't really remember what happens in the earlier seasons. Plus they're short episodes!
Jackie-Ross Lavender
2023-08-28 13:37:07 +0000 UTCSchitts Creek season 3 and 4 would mean a good slice of David and Patrick’s relationship, albeit without a lot of backstory for the Rose family, as I don’t suppose you’re thinking of all of the seasons?
Graham & Ruth May
2023-08-28 13:35:29 +0000 UTCThe thing about Harry is a great watch! Some Pan representation too!
Amy Carter
2023-08-28 11:57:25 +0000 UTCI wouldn’t necessarily call the other two shows I mentioned better, just different, and all three are very strong. It’s not surprising that all three of them were directed by the same person. I do think that Bad Buddy is a good one to start out with, though.
Lane Wright
2023-08-28 10:37:31 +0000 UTCAnd the ace representation is very important to me.
Jackie-Ross Lavender
2023-08-28 08:25:06 +0000 UTCAll of these get a yes from me
Jackie-Ross Lavender
2023-08-28 08:24:16 +0000 UTCUmm okay a lot of votes for Love, Victor which I really wasn't expecting
Jackie-Ross Lavender
2023-08-28 08:23:07 +0000 UTCI second what Lane above has said, that there are some other classic or more recent Thai 'BL' shows, are they're called, such as "Cutiepie", "Moonlight Chicken" or "A Tale of a Thousand Stars" to begin with, but I have nothing against doing "Bad Buddy" at some point along with another show that's great but of an entirely different vibe, "Not Me".
Megan Brady
2023-08-28 06:42:19 +0000 UTCDefinitely agree as to those Thai show recommendations as well over Bad Buddy. Bad Buddy is great, but there are definitely some stand out shows that are better.
Megan Brady
2023-08-28 06:32:09 +0000 UTCIf you’re curious, Fire Island is a lot of fun. And I’d love to see your reaction to Smiley. So nice to see mature queer stories.
snallahej
2023-08-28 01:30:29 +0000 UTCThis is the site for you, my friend. Lots of great Skam content and interesting explainers. They cover young royals too. https://skamenglishsubs.tumblr.com/
snallahej
2023-08-28 01:28:31 +0000 UTCI am just a proud Brazilian with this one. ❤️❤️❤️
Ingrid Machado Pena
2023-08-27 22:08:09 +0000 UTCAs I’ve said, before, I am absolutely on board with you and Courtney doing “Bad Buddy,” and there are several other really good Thai series out there once you’ve done that one that I would recommend, particularly “A Tale of 1000 Stars” and “Moonlight Chicken.” You reacting to “Heartbreak High” may be the only way I ever get past the first episode. I would definitely love to see you do something with Alex and Josh, who I think are really hilarious. I’m always definitely up for reactions to “Sex Education” as well, and Druck is definitely my pick among the remakes of Skam. And even though I only think one other person mentioned it, I would second the choice of “Special,” which is on Netflix.
Lane Wright
2023-08-27 22:04:56 +0000 UTCFor a film i definitely recommend The Way he Looks, Ingrid has been trying to get me to watch it for weeks and i finally did this morning and it is so wonderful. Def worth a watch x
Audrey Gunn
2023-08-27 21:48:13 +0000 UTCPride is one of the best films I have ever seen so it certainly gets my vote!
Graham & Ruth May
2023-08-27 20:30:42 +0000 UTC^ I second Pride, have you seen that film?
S.h.r
2023-08-27 20:24:39 +0000 UTCThat isn't a prerequisite at all. I want to react to shows that have all kinds of LGBT representation not just gay leads.
Jackie-Ross Lavender
2023-08-27 19:35:32 +0000 UTC"Pride" cause we Americans do not truly get how important that was to queer identity. And Torch Song Trilogy cause you Brits don't understand how important that film was to American acceptance of a gay child. Lol I'm thrilled about story worth telling and Courtney. Would love to see you guys Collab it's the perfect threesome. Or actually foursome
Trey Cummins
2023-08-27 19:32:00 +0000 UTCIt's still not the same. An ensemble cast are not main characters, they're just an ensemble. I would prefer for him to react to shows with gay lead characters.
GroovyGadget
2023-08-27 19:11:49 +0000 UTCI’d say it still has good lgbt+ rep within the main cast which tbh are all kind of main characters
S.h.r
2023-08-27 19:09:50 +0000 UTCIf we want other non-queer centric content for the "mainstream output" then could watch The Super Mario Bros movie for something recent. Or some older niche-classics like Stick It, Howl's Moving Castle, Hocus Pocus, etc
Michael D
2023-08-27 19:09:19 +0000 UTCOoh I’ll have to watch Pose. ASWT patreons have been asking for that too 👀
Kim Engel
2023-08-27 19:08:07 +0000 UTCOnly one of the shows has ace representation. I love all 4 though 💜
Kim Engel
2023-08-27 19:06:58 +0000 UTCIn the same vein as Succession, the Newsroom is another show worthy of reactions and still relevant to the times
Michael D
2023-08-27 18:51:30 +0000 UTCI will always and forever wish for Schitt's Creek and The Last of Us. Also Pose is an extraordinary series.
jennifer
2023-08-27 18:50:49 +0000 UTCSounds like excellent vision and plan on your part. I placed my Smiley vote- if it doesn’t happen this time around, I hope you’ll keep it on your radar. Thanks.
Diane Furlong
2023-08-27 18:46:24 +0000 UTCSex Education 😍👍
Prinsassy
2023-08-27 18:14:27 +0000 UTCWith Alex and Josh! ? Oh I love them 😍 this will be great!! Best of heartstopper, rewatch and discussion maybe...I cant get enough 😅 Great News 👏
Prinsassy
2023-08-27 18:11:48 +0000 UTCSkam France, Smiley and Love, Victor have gay main characters in lead roles. Heartbreak High doesn't.
GroovyGadget
2023-08-27 18:10:25 +0000 UTCSkam France is on YouTube
GroovyGadget
2023-08-27 18:07:34 +0000 UTCSense8 was just before the big reaction reviewing craze... And that's why I keep suggesting it too!
Michael D
2023-08-27 17:56:35 +0000 UTCSense 8 is mind blowing.
Ingrid Machado Pena
2023-08-27 17:56:16 +0000 UTCExciting news about the collaborations! None of these poll choices particularly inspire me (and I’ve seen them all), so I’ll let those who have a vested interest in one of the choices, decide. I saw a comment recommending Schitt’s Creek, and I would absolutely get behind that decision - even if it’s a rewatch. I am also with others who suggest Druck over the other Skam versions. (Also, I’ll reiterate a recommendation I made awhile ago, for Sense8).
Michelle K
2023-08-27 17:49:30 +0000 UTCJackie, as a mainstream show I would love to see you react to Succession. It's wild!
Ingrid Machado Pena
2023-08-27 17:15:08 +0000 UTCSex Education would be a dream! I am very excited for the last season! ❤️
Ingrid Machado Pena
2023-08-27 17:13:30 +0000 UTCOk…at least you are going to give me an opportunity to watch other things in the same week, which I appreciate. I will be gardening or reading or re-watching Young Royals while everyone else enjoys SKAM ! 😂
Graham & Ruth May
2023-08-27 17:11:41 +0000 UTCI have already seen Schitts but would LOVE to rematch as it has been many many years. Sex Ed is definitely happening but I'm sorry to say so is SKAM at some point. hopefully with my new found freedom I am planning on having more than one show running at once. I would love to get to the point of having 3 videos a week. 1x LGBT show, 1x mainstream show and 1x patreon exclusive... but that's just me thinking out loud so don't hold me to it!!
Jackie-Ross Lavender
2023-08-27 17:06:59 +0000 UTCAlso wouldn’t mind Druck..
Graham & Ruth May
2023-08-27 17:05:50 +0000 UTCJust not SKAM France please 🙏 and Smiley preferably, but as long as it doesn’t begin with SK and end in ce, I will be happy with whatever you decide. Still hoping that one day, you might decide to react to Sex Education (any season and a new, probably final season starts on Netflix on 21st September) or Schitts Creek (season 3 has a beautiful LGBTQ relationship)……🤞x
Graham & Ruth May
2023-08-27 17:03:31 +0000 UTCAbsolutely
Diane Furlong
2023-08-27 16:42:40 +0000 UTCHope that it works out! That’ll be a win/win for Everyone
Diane Furlong
2023-08-27 16:35:05 +0000 UTCAbsolutely Love Smiley
Diane Furlong
2023-08-27 16:33:58 +0000 UTCLove Good Omens
Audrey Gunn
2023-08-27 16:19:23 +0000 UTCGood Omens maybe?
Rishika A
2023-08-27 16:16:55 +0000 UTCI would love to know what you think about it. It's an old film, but I've just heard of it a few months ago. It's adorable and addresses a different kind of representation too. The trailer. 😉 https://youtu.be/68BBdJiTPuM?si=QKSG5i8hnjrKjAWT
Ingrid Machado Pena
2023-08-27 15:41:08 +0000 UTCSense8 was phenomenal, I have never seen show like this. I definitely recommend that too.
TomF
2023-08-27 15:37:58 +0000 UTCI have seen all of them apart from SKAM which I have honestly no idea where to watch :( - any suggestions welcome. Great to hear about the collabs, I know all of them from youtube and enjoying their videos too (you are my favourite though ;). It is exciting that we might see you all at one place :) If you enjoy Smiley, I loved also Merlí, which was very fun with the same actor :)
TomF
2023-08-27 15:35:04 +0000 UTCSkam France! Nothing against the original source material but my favourite for sure!
Amy Carter
2023-08-27 15:33:15 +0000 UTCI've heard good things about Smiley. It gets my vote 🫰
Michael D
2023-08-27 15:31:59 +0000 UTCOnce again i'm going to vote for Heartbreak High, i will get it one day!!! I'd personally not want to go for anymore Skam for a while but i will accept the choice made.
Audrey Gunn
2023-08-27 15:30:47 +0000 UTCHi! I might have? There are a few queer movies that I've seen when Netflix would host a bunch of international ones in the last decade. Plus when I lived in Vancouver, would go to the VQFF (Vancouver Queer Film Festival). It looks familiar 😊
Michael D
2023-08-27 15:29:55 +0000 UTCA collab with ASWT would be amazing!!!
Rebecca
2023-08-27 15:29:43 +0000 UTCHi Michael! Have you seen a Brazilian film called The Way He Looks? It's a lovely one.
Ingrid Machado Pena
2023-08-27 15:27:34 +0000 UTCI havn't seen any of the suggested things. Except season 1 of Love, Victor. So whatever gets chosen will be a first watch for me too 🥰 I'll throw some other stuff around too: Movies-- God's Own Country, Moonlight, Latter Days, Handsome Devil, Free Fall (German), Weekend & The 10 Year Plan Shows-- Sense8, Our Flag Means Death, It's a Sin, Special, Pose, & Feel Good
Michael D
2023-08-27 15:25:20 +0000 UTCLove to see you do the movie Nimona
Emily Brown
2023-08-27 15:22:32 +0000 UTCalways open to ideas!!
Jackie-Ross Lavender
2023-08-27 15:18:29 +0000 UTCAny other queer themed movies on the agenda? Or just series for now? 👉👈😊
Michael D
2023-08-27 15:18:07 +0000 UTCLike Frances' comment to vote for DRUCK
Jackie-Ross Lavender
2023-08-27 15:14:51 +0000 UTCThat was the other show!! I couldn't remember what show was in my head.
Jackie-Ross Lavender
2023-08-27 15:14:04 +0000 UTCOh man, difficult choice. Smiley is sooo much fun and have some heartfelt moments. But I've been curious to watch Heartbreak High. Many people say is amazing! As I said it before if we go back to SKAM universe my vote is for Druck, the german version.
Ingrid Machado Pena
2023-08-27 15:13:22 +0000 UTCI highly recommend DRUCK, which is the German version of SKAM. Particular season 3 of course…The plot is slightly different but also very good in terms of representation! ☺️
Frances
2023-08-27 15:12:07 +0000 UTCvery early stages right now but we've had a few conversations. Easier for us to collab because of how close we all live.
Jackie-Ross Lavender
2023-08-27 15:11:14 +0000 UTCRight? This sounds soooo much fun!
Ingrid Machado Pena
2023-08-27 15:10:00 +0000 UTCYes heartbreak high is amazing!!!
S.h.r
2023-08-27 15:09:56 +0000 UTCJackie, you creating content with Alex and Josh?!!!! I’m excited already 🤩🤩🤩
Frances
2023-08-27 15:09:25 +0000 UTCAhh omg I am so excited for Bad Buddy!
