Dekkoo In Depth: Get to know ‘Bad Together’ director Jono Mitchell and actor Andrés Erickson

In this installment of ‘Dekkoo In Depth,’ Ross sits down for a chat about the new Dekkoo-original series Bad Together with director Jono Mitchell and lead actor Andrés Erickson.

Bad Together follows the evolving ‘situationship’ between two gay men as they learn to accept and love both themselves and one another… as friends or whatever else.

Robbie (Erickson) is a sensitive young casting associate who is reeling after a recent break-up. When his best friend drags him to a party to cheer him up, he meets the charming and freewheeling Cameron (Queer Niro).

Over six time-jumping episodes, the show checks in with the pair at different moments throughout the years-long relationship that develops. Are these two just friends or are there deeper feeling that aren’t being expressed? And, more importantly, are they even a good match for one another?

Intelligently written, acted and directed, Bad Together examines modern queer relationships with a keen eye and a lot of heart.

Check out Ross’s conversation with Jono and Andrés below. A warning, though: this chat includes some spoilers for the first season. We strongly recommend watching the show first. All episodes of Bad Together are currently streaming on Dekkoo!

Dekkoo In Depth: Ross sits down with ‘Boy Culture: Generation X’ creator Q. Allan Brocka

An original series 15-plus years in the making, Boy Culture: Generation X is finally available, exclusively on Dekkoo!

To celebrate this delightful new follow-up to the 2006 hit, Ross sat down with writer, director and creator Q. Allan Brocka to discuss the new show and its long and complicated journey to the screen.

Boy Culture: Generation X reconnects with aging male escort – and narrator – X (Derek Magyar) as he finds himself up against a much younger generation of queer sex workers. As he struggles to keep his aging body fit and his unusual roster of kinky clients happy, he is also dealing with the realities of living with his ex-boyfriend Andrew (Darryl Stephens), who is aiming to move on from the former romantic entanglement.

Returning to the format of the novel on which the original Boy Culture was based, each episode of this sexy series centers around a particular client from which X learns – or specifically fails to learn – a lesson. Older, wiser and more incisive than ever, Boy Culture: Generation X has a lot to say about love, sex, relationships and aging gracefully in a culture that often values youthful good looks above all else.

You can watch Ross’s Dekkoo In Depth interview with Q. Allan Brocka below. The full first season of Boy Culture: Generation X is now streaming on Dekkoo.
