Have you ever wondered what a fresh take on the American teen sex comedy genre could look like? Wondered how an artist like Lil Nas X has transcended genres and continued to defy expectations. This week's episode of High Low Brow is a roller-coaster ride of emotions, revelations, and hearty discussions.
Our first discussion reflection on the brand-new film directed by Emma Seligman, Bottoms. We share comparisons to other popular teen comedies. Plus, we dissect its unique portrayal of sexuality and dive into the humoristic brilliance that is Bottoms, which is a beautiful portrayal of weird awkward gays.
Then Ama shares about the two films she saw during the Toronto International Film Festival including Origin, a film directed by Ava DuVernay and adapted from Isabel Wilkerson’s life, as she digs into the nuance of discrimination while writing what would become her New York Times bestselling book, Caste: The Origins of Our Discontents.
Then, Ama shares their thoughts on the life and struggles of Little Nas X in the intimate documentary Long Live Montero. On its most basic level, the film captures the rapper during the height of their fame as they plan their first tour and what it means to be a Black, gay star in America right now.
Finally, we catch you all up on where we're at with Vanderpump Rules (spoiler: we're on season 9!!!) and analyze the controversial moments that polarized audiences, and look ahead to catching up to the most recent season.
Don't forget to tune into our next episode on Sunday, October 1st!
