We’ve got the fabulous Parvesh Cheena here, once again on the gaysian movie beat! This time around, it’s Andrew Ahn’s THE WEDDING BANQUET, which reimagines and modernizes the core story of a nearly unseeable 1993 Ang Lee film (maybe try your local library?). It’s a complicated relationship comedy between two queer couples, and two of their matriarchs. Plus, we choose which classic films we’d like to see get a queer remake (besides all of them).
What’s Good
Alonso – TCM Festival
Drea – Drag Race finale, TV as a group activity
Parvesh – More Drag Race
Ify – Temptation Island (see also: Montoya Por Favor)
