Fire Island 2022
a gay modern day pride and prejudice adaptation starring joel kim booster, bowen yang and conrad ricamora no what more could you want? the joke rate in this was actually crazy i'm sure i missed a bunch because i was too busy cackling from the previous joke. also, most unapologetically gay thing i've seen in a while? it was so lovely just everything about this was so great and so fun i had the best time watching this. conrad and his silly little ice cream cones single handedly made my day <3
