Netflix is cashing in on Drag Race fever with RuPaul's feel-good drag queen sitcom AJ and the Queen. And critics are all: Shantay, you stay! JK they're calling it a big fat gay turd, but maybe they just don't get the nuance that is gay culture in 2020. AJ and the Queen is written like it's 1995 and shot like it's 2003 and acted like it's on Logo, and also in 2003. Complex. Intoxicating. We will not be defined!
While technically AJ and the Queen is an abortion of a show, the nudity is actually top-notch. Gus Kenworthy's ex Matt Wilkas and I are lowkey in an iconic gay feud because years ago he asked Fleshbot to take down posts containing his nudes, but I'm willing to put it behind me now that I can see his very hot and hairy ass in his AJ and the Queen nude scene!
And then there's Constantine Rousouli. The Gay Internet freaked out over the size of his huge ass in this nude scene which, again, if I told you was shot in the early 2000's, you'd literally believe. Netflix to AJ and the Queen's budget: Sashay away.
