“That was really powerful for me,” Booster concluded.įire Island will be available on Hulu on June 3. Like all great art, the notion began as a running gag but the bit was not truly committed to film until Booster did acid while vacationing on Fire Island, as he revealed in the interview.ĭrugs aside, Booster also told the entertainment publication that what really came into focus for him was “chosen family and, specifically, my friendship with Bowen and the connection that we have as queer Asian men in a space that maybe isn't made for us and overcoming that.” To sum it up, the trailer seems to live up to Booster’s aspirations to make the “gay Pride and Prejudice,” as the actor-writer told EW.
“Do not let these people think they’re better than us,” he tells Howie, immediately before one of their friends is seen stumbling and vomiting into a vase, forcing him to backtrack. “Every gay person should get to experience a week without straight people.”
