We’re living at a time where video stores are mostly things of the past. The tradition of physically renting movies has mostly been replaced by today’s streaming services.

The LGBTQ+ romcom Bros has finally been released. Unfortunately, the film has been somewhat of a failure at the box office despite support from critics. In fact, the film has a rather massively positive reception which includes a 91% score on Rotten Tomatoes. With that said, due to the low box office, Bros star and co-writer Billy Eichner is blaming “straight people” as the cause. In addition, he had plenty of positive things to say about the film.
