‘Dare’ (2009): Emmy Rossum, Zach Gilford, and Ashley Springer Star in ‘Challengers’ for Theater Kids
On Friday nights, IndieWire After Dark takes a feature-length beat to honor fringe cinema in the streaming age.
First, the spoiler-free pitch for one editor’s midnight movie pick — something weird and wonderful from any age of film that deserves our memorializing.
Then, the spoiler-filled aftermath as experienced by the unwitting editor attacked by this week’s recommendation.
The Pitch: Discovering the Power of a Dick… Ahead of Its Time
Non-monogamy became a common topic of conversation this spring as Luca Guadagnino’s “Challengers” made any mention of pro tennis the conversational equivalent of a three-way sex invite.
On dating apps, searches for “open relationships” continued to rise in popularity just as reality television embraced multi-partnered dynamics through shows like Peacock’s “Couple to Throuple.” Even in 2024, polyamory isn’t outright “mainstream” by any stretch of the imagination(s). But as far as contemporary relationships are concerned, the “three’s...

BBC political reporter Adam Fleming will be debuting a podcast ‘Boris,’ dedicated to the life and times of former UK prime minister Boris Johnson on Saturday 9 July, just two days after Johnson quit Downing Street.
Fleming, who hosts hit BBC podcast ‘Newscast,’ and his guests will tell the story of Johnson – the man who came to be known simply as “Boris” – and who rose to occupy the highest office in the land.
The series will tell Johnson’s story, from boy to man to prime minister. Each week, Adam will be joined by guests who have watched, worked and dealt with him from the early school years in Brussels and at Eton through to his resignation this week, following the desertion of dozens of government ministers.
In episode 1, Adam will be discussing Johnson’s early years up until the end of his time at his upper-class schooling at Eton. He...

Why Watch? Jack Hoffman desperately wants to jack his hoffman, but it isn’t all that easy. He’s resigned himself to department store catalog models — guys in tight sweaters, guys in genuine Jockeys — because 1) he’s 14 and 2) it’s 1994 and the internet isn’t in every household yet. Tough break being born in 1980. When he hears about a stash of porn mags on the other side of town, he risks being caught by a trio of bullies to secure the necessary visual aids. Funny thing is, his imagination seems to already be pretty strong. Adam Baran’s Jackpot is simple and sweet. It stops just short of being schmaltzy due to a genuinely likable hero in Ethan Navarro’s Jack, and a comic relief porn-star-of-many-wardrobe-changes played by Adam Fleming. Plus, as bully-dodging stories go, this one feels a bit more honest when it comes to danger, consequences and the anticipated payoff. It...

Friends or more than friends? (l-r: James Lesure, Danny Masterson, Michael Cassidy, Steve Brand)

The TBS sitcom Men At Work isn’t necessarily the gayest of sitcoms out there, but the show about four male friends dealing with life and love while working together at a magazine called “Full Steam” (which, hello, sounds pretty gay to me) features a storyline in tonight’s episode that shows how far we’ve come from the ‘special gay episode’ that was once a staple in sitcoms.
In tonight’s episode, Tyler (played by Michael Cassidy) has a new friend who his buddies/co-workers – Milo (Danny Masterson), Neal (Adam Busch) and Gibbs (James Lesure) – suspect may want more from Tyler than he realizes. However, instead of making the David Bennett character (played by Steve Brand) a predator, the guys, who all happen to be straight, blame Tyler for leading the guy on,...

It's no surprise that summer tends to bring out the hottest guys in New York. And as the dog days of summer start to wane on the streets of the Big Apple, it's time to once again turn our attention to where the hottest of the hot like to spend their time: the New York stage.
Sure, movies and television have their share of rippling abs, but glimpsing a hottie on the screen is nothing compared to the live, in-the-flesh experience. So without further ado, we present the Hottest Guys of New York Theater!
Cesar Abreu
Ricky Martin isn't the only sexy stud to come to us via the pop group Menudo - we can thank our lucky stars we also get the stunning, studly Cesar Abreu. Currently dancing for the Metropolitan Opera, Cesar has also, unsurprisingly, been featured many times in the annual stripfest Broadway Bares.
