Welcome to the Weekend Binge. Every week, we’ll suggest a binge-able title designed to keep you from getting too stir crazy.
Check back throughout the weekend for even more gloriously queer entertainment.We can’t say enough good about Nuclear Family, the no-holds-barred exploration of director Ry Russo-Young’s upbringing by a same-sex couple.
To recap: in the 1980s, lesbian couple Robin & Russo had given birth to Ry and her sister Cade through surrogacy. Flash forward a few years to when Ry and Cade began asking about the identity of their donors.
At the urging of Robin & Russo, Tom, Ry’s donor, met with the family and began a loving relationship with the girls. Years passed by, and tensions developed between Tom, Robin & Russo.
