Watch Video: Jim Parsons Spoils a Birthday Party With a Heartbreaking Game in Ryan Murphy's 'The Boys in the Band' Trailer“The Boys in the Band,” paradigm-shifter though it was in its frank portrayal of a certain segment of gay life, is rather traditional in structure; it’s one of those Broadway plays where various character types gather together in a room and very quickly begin hurling long-buried truths and accusations at each other.

One might hope that certain aspects of what it has to say about how gay men function in American society and how they feel about themselves and each other are part of the past.

The Boys in the Band: Joe Mantello on bringing gay history back to life

The Boys in the Band bears a unique distinction as a gay classic that many gays love to hate — whether or not they actually have seen the play onstage, or watched William Friedkin’s 1970 film adaptation. Since its original, revolutionary 1968 Off-Broadway production, the play’s reputation as a comical but caustic representation of gay male lives and relationships has preceded it into any conversation about queer stigma, invisibility, and self-loathing.The group of gay men who gather in an Upper East Side Manhattan apartment to celebrate a birthday spend more time cutting each other down than cutting cake.

Daniel D'Addario Chief TV CriticTwo years ago, Netflix’s “The Haunting of Hill House” was the most pleasant of surprises — though perhaps “pleasant” is not the word.

Clayton Davis “What an excellent day for an exorcism.”-Linda Blair, “The Exorcist” (1973)If asked to describe a typical “Oscar” film, you’d likely hear phrases like “biopic” or “sprawling epic.” If there’s a genre that’s been grievously undervalued, and to a greater extent, disrespected within the industry space, it’s horror. It can be argued that it’s one of two genres that comes with an embedded bias, preventing wide acceptance (the other being “musicals”).
