Why Brokeback Mountain is still a landmark of queer cinema, 20 years later

There was also scepticism that the film, which tells the love story between Ennis Del Mar and Jack Twist, respectively played by the late Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal – both of whom are…

Nuno Gallego shares his “physical training” results in thirsty BTS Olympo pics

Fancy more BTS photos of Netflix’s hot new series Olympo? Thankfully, one of the show’s stars, Nuno Gallego, has satiated our hunger by uploading a carousel of steamy images and videos of himself and his equally hunky co-stars on the set of the Spanish series. In one snap, the 23-year-old poses shirtless in a gym, flexing his bulging muscles. Gallego turns up the heat in a video of him doing tricep dips, which he performs in a pair of tight workout briefs.

‘Burn the Sheets’ figures in a new normal of trans domesticity

Donna Marcus Duke delves into the work on display at a new exhibition exploring notions of the domestic in the work of eight trans artists WORDS BY DONNA MARCUS DUKE As trans people are continually pushed out of the public realm, the safety of our private spaces becomes even more important.

Hercules is a fun but flawed stage adaption of classic Disney film – review

Earlier this week, Disney’s Hercules opened at the Theatre Royal Drury Lane – the exact same theatre where Frozen the Musical opened some four years ago. We were quite taken with that production – it didn’t blow us away, but it looked the part and was full of charm. So how does Hercules compare with its predecessor? It makes for an enjoyable evening of entertainment, but we’re not sure it holds up quite so well. If you’ve seen a Disney stage adaptation, you’ll know what to expect – everything happens…
