Never heard of either of them.

Howey wants to believe that this movie (or these movies) redefine or bring recognition to the gay community, I think the truth is somewhere in the middle to be honest.
There's been a gay films segment readily available on Netflix and other streaming services, I scroll through them sometimes just for fun. Netflix has a $#@! movie selection so why not. I still think the gay film industry is heavily niched and far from the mainstream.
I think the average joe doesn't want to go get caught up in a movie over a political agenda, especially guys (hetero, the majority of the guy movie going population). We want to see tits, $#@! blowing up and monsters.
