## Resource

Conrad and Joe hit pause on 'Sex Work and Pornography' to discuss one of 2025's biggest queer films: Harry Lighton's Pillion (2025). It may surprise you to discover that we're ambivalent about the film! We don't entirely understand its reception as a romance, especially given how disaffecting (and possibly abusive) the central relationship is. Plus: adaptation changes from Adam Mars-Jones's novella Box Hill ; fantastic lead performances; Conrad's theatrical experience; and the moments of comedy that work Seen the film or want to hear more details?
