RG Beefcake and Boyfriends
Male nudity, gay romance, and queer codes in movies and television, especially "The Righteous Gemstones"
Michael Seater: Paranormal investigator, bomb guy, gay villain, with buddies, a boyfriend, and some j/o vids
Dakare Chatman: Ballroom dancer, Christ-follower, conservative spokesperson, LGBT ally. With nude dude bonus
Charleston, South Carolina resident Dakare Chatman has four acting credits on the IMDB:
More about Dakare: he's a singer, ballroom dancer, Christ-follower, traveler, and optimist, active in the AME Church. He was on the National Youth Advisory Board of the John Locke Foundation, a conservative think tank, and won their Constituting America Contest twice. This got him an interview on the conservative news show Fox and Friends
This photo from Christmas is rousing my gaydar. Dakare's Instagram contains no photos of him with any ladies except some friends and dance partners.
Gay or not, I'm sure he won't mind fans appreciating his cuteness. And that cool, campy cutlery on his kitchen wall.
"The Other Two" Episode 3.8: The guy from "AP Bio" tries to bond with an especially jerky Cary. Plus Ben Platt butt
I wanted to know more about Eddie Leavy, below, who plays the queen Anthony on AP Bio, so I reviewed his guest role on The Other Two, Episode 3.8, "Brook Hosts a Night of Undeniable Good."
The premise: The less-than-famous older brother and sister of teen idol ChaseDreams (Case Walker) live in his shadow.
The episode has three plotlines. I'm reviewing only the third.
A Plot: Chase is getting kickback from his latest bad-boy stunt: "I hate ChaseDreams. What a loser!"; "Asshole!" "Everybody thinks I'm a bad guy, he complains. "And I'm not. It's giving me anxiety and depression."
His manager gets dollar signs in her eyes as she hatches a new scheme: Chase can become "the face of mental health" and make a fortune! He's not really suffering from a mental illness, but who cares when there's money to be made?
Sister Brook likes the idea, too. She has an altruistic boyfriend, and feels guilty about being so selfish, so this will give her an opportunity to prove that she is a good person -- while making money.
She arranges a telethon to raise money for mental health awareness. Ben Platt, left, and Cameron Kasky, the founder of March for Our Lives, appear as themselves.
B Plot: Mom went from single mother with a famous son to hosting her own talk show to owning a billion-dollar network. After months in the spotlight, she excitedly plans a trip back to her home town in Ohio, to return to her roots and enjoy everyday activities.
Jacob Dickey, left, appears as Nate.
She hates it. The small town is boring, her old friends are dolts, and the food is awful. You can't go home again.
C Plot: Cary, Drew Carver, has a 20th year class reunion tonight, but he doesn't want to go because he's not successful enough. He's in Windweaver, a sword-and-sorcery tv series on Netflix, but it's just a recurring role as "an elf serf," who doesn't even speak.
Then his agent calls: Netflix has picked up the show for three more years, and invited him to be a regular. Turns out that the "elf serf" is actually the Windweaver, orchestrating the events. He'll be speaking. And he's gay.
Thrilled that he can now "win the reunion." Cary tries to make the eight-hour car trip in six hours by not stopping -- he pees into a bottle and throws it out the window. Couldn't you use one of your billionaire mother's private planes?
