(Editor's Note: This was meant to be a "Good Morning" post but my office internet has been down all day. So here we are!) So who watched Welcome to Chippendales? The Hulu series that starred Kumail Nanjiani, Juliette Lewis, Annaleigh f'ing Ashford, and Murray Bartlett? (I shared the trailer here.) Naturally I did although I felt like I was always playing a lot of catch-up with it -- anyway I made it to the end right about the time it was ending so we're square. I thought it was pretty good! The story we've seen a million times before -- literally, this exact story about Somen Banerjee and these murders has been told several times before -- but they gathered a terrific group of actors who were delights in themselves, and that's before we even get to talking about the strippers themselves...
Speaking of I really thought I'd end up doing a big post on Quentin Plair honestly, but despite the show taking full advantage when they had him around 1) his character's arc was truncated and 2) his Instagram isn't nearly self-exploitative enough. One glance at Michael "Mikey" Graceffa's online presence though (especially his Insta) -- hoo boy. He is making up for it for the entire cast!

I need to re-watch Andrew Ahn's Fire Island from last year for several reasons -- one of them being that it was an excellent movie! -- but especially now that I see Mikey here was in the cast; I don't remember him at all. There were so many hot dudes in that movie though that my eyes were crossed most of the time, trying to take it all in. I think he's mostly a Broadway person? He is clearly a dancer. I know this because I have eyes and my eyes are telling me that that is a dancer's butt. Anyway I am sure y'all might know better, what he's done stage-wise. Me all I know is what my eyes are telling me, and... yeah, they're still crossed. Good lorrrrd. Hit the jump for dozens more...

re: fire island - he was the ex-boyfriend of one of the love interests that the rich bitches invited to complicate the plot
The boys of The Cher Show do not disappoint!
I liked Chippendales well enough. Not enough done with Juliette Lewis or Robin DeJesus. Plair was the definite breakout star, and they didn’t take enough advantage of that (didn’t anyone catch the dailies?). I would have liked more about those 3 and less of the leads, who got tiresome. Which I’m sure they were in real life.
