#159 - Fire Island | Directed by Andrew Ahn (with Dustin Holden of Dustin Can Read & Watch and The Rewatch Recap)

2 Cents Critic

Tune in as 2CC launches Pride Month and dives into queer art throughout June! For this first episode, Dustin Holden (Dustin Can Read & Watch, The Rewatch Recap) retakes his comfy old guest seat for a review and recap of Fire Island, the 2022 Hulu rom-com that unfolds into a modern retelling of Pride and Prejudice. Talking points for this episode include bigotry within the queer community, missing the chance to sue restaurants that are liable for your injuries, and briefly pretending to be a stranger’s partner.

Directed by Andrew Ahn, Fire Island stars Joel Kim Booster, Bowen Yang, Conrad Ricamora, Margaret Cho, James Scully, Matt Rogers, Tómas Matos, Torian Miller, Nick Adams, Zane Phillips, Michael Graceffa, Aidan Wharton, Peter Smith, and Peppermint.
