WATCH: Sex work romance ‘Boy Culture’ team reunites for long-awaited sequel
Eating Out series to the self-parodying Another Gay Movie, they might not have been what anyone would consider “awards worthy,” but they were the best we had and will always hold a special place in our hearts.One of the better titles from that era was Boy Culture, the story a gay male escort who goes by X (Derek Magyar), balancing complicated relationships with his roommates—one of whom, Andrew (Noah’s Arc‘s Darryl Stephens), he’s in love with—and his long list of clients.Based on the 1995 novel by Matthew Rettenmund (who also runs the great blog with the same name) and directed by Q.
Allan Brocka (Eating Out and its Drama Camp and The Open Weekend sequels), Boy Culture was a game-changer for putting gay sex and sexuality on screen in an honest, authentic way.Now, 17 years later, Boy Culture returns with the long-awaited sequel Generation X because, as we know, the hustle never stops.Set a decade after the events of the first film, Generation X sees the return of Magyar and Stephens as X and Andrew, respectively.
They’d been on-and-off over the past ten years and are now officially broken up—but money’s tight so they’re still living together.After careful consideration, X decides to throw try his hand at sex work once again, but the 40-year old realizes a lot has changed since last time.
In an era of social networks, OnlyFans, PreP, and changing attitudes around sex and queerness, he has to play by a whole new set of rules.For some help navigating it all, X turns to catty Gen Z twink Chayce (Open To It‘s Jason Caceres), who offers a wake-up call to this brave new world.“The original focused on taking a risk to find love,” Brocka shares in an official press statement.
