Not the best interview of all time, but Joel Kim Booster proves once again that he is America's smart, sexy, drole, gay sweetheart that everyone loves!
Lol. So he's saying that if they Don't know who he is then he will be a freak in the bedroom, but if they DO know who he is he Will tone it down. Well, now that he's put that out there, even if people do know who he is, They sure as hell aren't going to tell him. Who wants boring when you can have the freak experience? 😂😂
I want to help Joel’s hair. He was trying to do the whole Caesar straight bang for a while, but whoever did it didn’t know how to texturize it and he looked like Lloyd from Dumb and Dumber. Now that it’s soooo short and pushed back and I’m seeing …. I just wish I could do his hair.
I think for senior gay men we feel we MUST watch any movie with a gay topic because they were so rare in our younger years. Your movie I will watch because you do good movies which happen to be gay.
Don't Hate the Boomer (very young boomer)...I thought Fire Island was incredibly cliched and perpetuated very flat one dimensional characters, depicting so many of the dumb stereotypes out there and I was almost embarrassed that people were seeing this on TV BUT I get that this content might play positive to a young audience as Tales Of the City, SOAP and Queer as Folk was for me. I'll agree that those shows I grew up on perpetuated stereotypes (LOL Especially SOAP) but they did give me a sense of safety. I have seen some amazing content on TV featuring other life-style storylines that depict strong, likeable, positive, endearing characters that stayed away from any stereotypes and I was proud of those writers, directors, production teams and broadcasters, for producing and airing them. Stories like this in mainstream media will allow many people to feel a part of something bigger and safe ...as Nate says, seeing people who our queer, happy, and successful or as I hope written multi-dimensionally should be end goal when creating content.
I already know ur gonna deny it but I’ll say it anyway. I believe you watched it with the lens of how will straight people view this and what will they think of us? This movie was super funny, they are great friends and flawed people. As a masculine gay male who hasn’t done any drugs, or PNP or anything, I loved this movie all on its own. Sure there are stereotypes of gay males being flamboyant but these archetypes are never worthy of love in modern media. Usually only masculine heteronormative males get that kinda treatment. My point is, this was a comedy for the gays, making fun of those stereotypes, this movie was phanemonsl for many reasons and it makes me sad that you are so concerned about stereotypes. Btw most comedy characters are flat one dimension, think 21 jump street, I think you making this movie bigger than it was trying to be, just laugh brother
@@Mayor-q6b I won't deny it. That's how you feel, and that is OK. I will make an assumption here. You are likely 30 to 40 years younger than me. As a gay man in my 60's I despise the word 'queer' and I dislike those affected attitude driven rude entitled sexualized gay stereotypes. I think it hurts rather than adds value. These characters just perpetuate in my boomer opinion. I've discussed this at length with younger gays who embrace these stereotypes. I did too when I was their age. It was the running joke. But as I grew older, it's schtick wears thin. It's an age thing as I said. I've been knee deep in the gay culture all my life due to lifestyle and career. Overall I found this writing weak. I LOVE Miss Cho but felt this was beneath. Hope she was paid well. I couldn't laugh brother, my friends and I watching it had to turn it off. And that's OK too.
Funny how you mention Julia Roberts’ turn as a villain in *My Best Friend’s Wedding*. She plays one in *Closer*, as well. Honestly, most of her characters are a little cuckoo, especially on the morning after (Notting Hill, America’s Sweethearts)
I put on Fire Island on random weekend mornings. The movie is warm and fuzzy. Like a hug.
The movie surprised me! It is very well done
I wouldn't mind another movie with the same cast. @@philiplieu3889
SAME!!!
Ikr....
Funny and thoughtful in his answers. He's brilliant. Can't wait for sip or spill.
So excited for his new project.
Thank you for cutting my appetite for the next month with that chicken smoothie , iew!
Fire Island makes me happy such a comfort movie
Great interview

My Best Friend's Wedding is definitely up there for me too, for all the reasons you mentioned.
Fire Island score went number 1 in my house !!
no offence but i’m literally obsessed w/ joel’s work… i can’t wait for his upcoming movie 😭🫶🏽
Lol. So he's saying that if they Don't know who he is then he will be a freak in the bedroom, but if they DO know who he is he Will tone it down.

Joel Kim. Gay. Icon.

You're so right, the bangs were horrible
Ever tried protein powder? It doesn't taste like chicken, but I think most would put that in the "pro" column.
lmao right?
I’m a top and I have bottomed 4 times, I appreciate my bottoms and do not cancel on my bottoms because that’s bad karma

he kept drinking it... am i missing out?
the host needs to hire a stylist
Bruce Springsteen
I think queer poc hated Fire Island because it was more of the groveling after white gays thing which we've had enough of
Definitely not for you then bc that's not what the movie was about
@@tatisjoa In YOUR opinion
There is one white love interest and three poc love interests.
Joel is despicable.
Love you Joel Kim Booster, but I gotta disagree about tops bottoming and bottoms topping. I don't break the law lol!
I don’t care what anyone says. He is not sexy
Um ok….
What did you hope I would feel when you wrote this.
