AEW Double or Nothing 2025: The Buy In (2025)

The coming-of-age story that brings viewers into the world of Broadway, New York City, with musical talent and LGBTQ leads.

A group of criminal animals tries their best to reform themselves into good citizens to avoid serving time in prison.

A short film that begins with the language of romance but slowly reveals something far more unsettling beneath the surface.

Battles will come and go and queer people do die for their identity and fights for rights, but that doesn’t mean the gays don’t deserve their happy endings in stories.

My review’s title is a nod to Shakespeare and is entirely deliberate. The original movie portrayed the high-end fashion world as a brutal arena of plotting, backstabbing, and betrayal, and most Shakespeare’s plays depend on these plot devices. The Devil Wears Prada 2 uses the same formula, and is, plot-wise, almost identical.

The only thing different is that due to the digital era, Runway is not a print magazine anymore, but one that is running online.

The gentle, emotional nuances of Evan’s coming-of-age story would have been so beneficial to have incorporated into the life of a POC character. Showing a Black, Asian or Latino young man that is afforded the space to be vulnerable, flawed and sensitive while driving a compelling and widely-loved narrative would have been a game changer.
