Love, Simon

In episode twenty-five of movies imo., Ben, Brandon, and Daniel take a step back into the closet and break its doors down with LOVE, SIMON, the first major American studio film to follow a gay teen in the lead role on his journey to come out. Your fav film f*gz get real personal as they share their own recollections of high school life in the closet, and celebrate the film on its own genre terms as well as in connection to the emotional earnestness of John Hughes’s FERRIS BUELLER’S DAY OFF. Ben applauds the film’s breadth of queer expression while catching his own breath at Natasha Rothwell’s tubes being tied, Daniel catches flack for wanting more from the ending, and Brandon breathes a heavy sigh of relief that this groundbreaking film is actually good.
