After a week of binging film after film at the #SXSWFilm Festival in Austin, Texas, Brad, Jim, and Will are joined by special guest Matthew Goad of YouTube’s ‘Cocktail Moment’ and thirtysomethingdigital to discuss some of their favorite experiences from the festival.

Plus, the young adult rom-com ‘Love, Simon’ has been setting Gay Twitter™ on fire after its premiere this weekend. Is this charming LGBTQ romantic comedy the film our community has been waiting for? Or is it simply more of the same, dressed up in gay trappings? We’re going live RIGHT NOW to discuss these very topics, and we’d love for you to click the link and join us! #LoveSimon
