Welcome to Screen Gems, our weekend dive into queer and queer-adjacent titles of the past that deserve a watch or a re-watch.2020 yielded many things…many of them horrendous.

The movie stars real-life husbands Ben Lewis and Blake Lee as Hugo and Patrick, respectively, two successful gay 30-somethings who once attended the same high school in.
