We had the chance to sit down with “The Boyfriend” commentator extraordinaire and drag queen Durian Lollobrigida to revisit the season.

They’re back for season 2 along with fellow panelists Megumi, Chiaki Horan, Thelma Aoyama, and Yoshimi Tokui. More about “The…

Only a smidge of monkey business here as we chat to “Primate” star Victoria Wyant about the perils of filming in a pool, having practical ape performers on set, and growing up mixed.  In “Primate,” a group of friends’ tropical vacation turns into a terrifying, primal tale of horror and survival. Wyant plays Kate, a longtime friend of Lucy Pinborough (Johnny Sequoyah) and her family. They have been raising chimpanzee Ben for years. Ben is a perfect example of why practical performances matter, Miguel Torres Umba and stunt double Nadia Hansell (along with the team at Millenium FX) brought the…
