You watch Will and RJ, but what do Will and RJ watch? In between movies, TV shows, YouTube, and the occasional foray into live performance… it’s always something. R.J. is a massive film buff, Will is a YouTube connoisseur, and they both love shows like Queer as Folk and Six Feet Under, so let the guys tell you all about how they’re choosing to rot their brains. You might even find something new to watch yourself (when you’re not watching their videos, that is), which is fine, as long as you come back to YouTube in the end.
| House of Cards |
| I can, with relative certainty, that the question was never if I would end up watching House of Cards. It was always a matter of when. After all, they have been trying to adapt the original British series for American TV for years. It became a blip on my radar when I heard that Kevin Spacey was attached to produce and possibly star. It became much... |

| The “Marry Your Girlfriends” Videos |
| By now, I’m sure you’ve all seen the “Gay Men Will Marry Your Girlfriends” video that College Humor did a couple of weeks back. Usually, in the pre-Rebecca Black days, the shelf life for a video like this would be a week or two at least. However, now that actual news publications (such as The Advocate and CNN) have taken to including... |

| Cloud Atlas – Duo Review |
| Someone, I forget who, said that it’s the job of the storyteller to hold a mirror up to the audience, and to use their story to give their audience a greater understanding of the human experience. I may not remember who said it, but I can guarantee that the three directors of Cloud Atlas, Andy Wachowski, Lana Wachowski, and Tom Tykwer, could... |

| “Fitness on the Run” with Jon Ham |
| When I first came up with the idea for the Fitness Club, I knew I would need to consult a professional to help me come up with the program. I am, by no means, an expert when it comes to physical fitness. I’m barely even an aficionado. Most of the time, when I’m doing an exercise, I have pretty much a basic understanding of what it’s doing... |

| Avatar: The Last Airbender |
| I spent the entire summer of 2009 living in this tiny little Podunk town called Pine Mountain, Georgia. There’s a resort there called Callaway Gardens, and every summer, the FSU Flying High Circus sends 30 or so of its best and brightest to Callway to spend the summer as professional circus performers. The days at Callaway were absolutely... |

Grindr for the GOP Convention from Joshua Malina
I’m pretty sure I don’t need to tell you that I adore this video. Let’s face it, it’s... |

| The Daily Show with Jon Stewart |
| By now, I’m sure you’re at least vaguely familiar with The Daily Show with Jon Stewart. By now, I’m sure you’ve watched at least a handful of Jon’s incredibly written monologue that skewers the latest public figure to make an ass of their self in public view. By now, I’m sure you know that they have become the go-to source for... |

| Curta – Eu Não Quero Voltar Sozinho (YouTube Short Film) |
| This video (which I cannot pronounce) was something that I ran across while perusing Tumblr this morning. The entire video is in another language (if I had to guess it would be Portuguese) but YouTube offers English subtitles which is useful.
It's a very short video so I suggest you run over to... |

| Another Gay Movie |
| Another Gay Movie was one of those gay-culture rites of passage that I missed out on for not coming out until college. Had I been like Will and come out at, say, age 14, I would have likely come across this movie as part of my indoctrination into the community. I felt the same way about this movie as I did about Queer as Folk. I knew that it,... |

| Tyler Oakley |
| I probably shouldn’t even be writing this post. Chances are, if you follow us at all, then you already know who Tyler Oakley is and have been following him for quite some time now. Chances are that you’re as familiar with his videos as we are, and, like us, you look forward to every Friday video that he posts, even if they do show up a tad... |

| The 2012 Olympic Games |
| Alright, so if you’ve been on my personal channel as of late, you’ll know that I posted a rant about the Olympics that complained about how the games are more obsessed with turning a profit than they are uniting mankind or celebrating sport or whatever. In case you haven’t been on YouTube yet, or worse yet, you’re not subscribed to my... |

| Todrick Hall’s “CinderFella” |
| For those of you who aren’t familiar with Todrick Hall or simply haven’t gotten the chance to see his newest video yet, do yourself a favor and play the video that’s embedded below. Trust me, you will not regret it.
The music in this video is impeccably written. Hall’s last video, “Beauty and the Beat”, was a hilarious... |

| “Pearcing” Chick-fil-A and Biblical Marriage |
| Introducing Jackson Pearce, a quirky author who lives in Atlanta who has a lot to say about Chick-fil-A. I came across an article in The Advocate featuring her and had to put a recent video of her's in the watching section.
She made headlines today by uploading a rant on Dan Cathy and his company's stance on marriage equality. As a former... |

| The Dark Knight Rises |
| If you haven’t already seen The Dark Knight Rises, go ahead and make plans to do so. If this review boils down to one point, it’s this: even if you think that Rises doesn’t quite reach the level of its predecessor, The Dark Knight, it still makes for an extremely satisfying movie-going experience. In an era where movies cost at least 15... |

| Desperate Housewives |
| So we all know that there are four chambers of the heart, right? Left/right atrium/ventricle? Well, let’s say one of those chambers is reserved for the show, Desperate Housewives. I remember the first season when it aired back when I was 15. My mother and I were obsessed. It has so much juicy drama to sink your teeth into, while at the same time... |

| Queer as Folk – The Complete Series (US Version) |
| Throughout a vast majority of my life as a young adult, I had the same relationship with Queer as Folk as I did with my parents having sex—I acknowledged its existence but I had no intention of ever watching it in my lifetime. Throughout high school, it was thanks to my deep involvement in the Catholic church and my family’s chronic allergy... |

| Fight Club (1999) |

I figure I should do the first “What We’re Watching” post about one of my favorite movies. Fight Club may not be the best movie I’ve ever seen, but it definitely occupies a special place in my heart. I watched it for the first time as an... |
