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.

Dekkoo in Depth: Ross sits down with ‘Danny Will Die Alone’ creator and star Jack Tracy

In the video below, Ross sits down for an in-depth interview with Jack Tracy, creator and star of the hilarious and refreshingly direct new Dekkoo-original comedy series Danny Will Die Alone.

Born out of Tracy’s own post-pandemic dating life, the proudly jaw-dropping series follows one single man through the hell-scape of gay courtship in New York City – where he screws his way through the apps in an increasingly desperate search for his one true love.

Recently single after a devastating breakup – and freshly entering a mid-life crisis – Danny finds the dating scene markedly different from the last time he was on the market. Emotional unavailability, fear of commitment and hyper-sexuality abound, all while Danny remains blissfully unaware of his own multitude of flaws.

In Season One, Danny’s attempts at finding romance begin with a failed attempt at converting a hung hookup to a possible partner and end with hiring a professional matchmaker when the apps stop doing their job. Along the way he meets hipsters, conservatives, spiritual beings, sex gurus, sexual novices and even enters his ‘top era’ due to an overabundance of seemingly unwanted bottoms.

Rude, crude and unabashedly judgmental, Danny Will Die Alone serves the relatability missing from modern dating while adding a healthy dose of ‘did he really just say that?’ comedy. In addition to the humor, the series takes a critical look at modern dating, dating app etiquette and shifting relationship styles.

Dekkoo In Depth: Ross sits down with ‘Peckham Mix’ producer Cedric Andries to discuss the new original series

To celebrate the arrival of the new Dekkoo-original comedy series Peckham Mix, Ross sat down with London-based producer Cedric Andries to discuss the show and learn how it came to be.

George Turner stars in Peckham Mix as Josh, a gay man who finds his life in freefall after being dumped by his fiancé. Now he’s reluctantly looking for a new place to live. He finds a seemingly acceptable situation with Rex and Connor (Kane Surry and Janak Nirmal), a mysterious couple who are in search of a new roommate… after their last one was caught stealing cars.

As the new trio get to know one another, Josh becomes fascinated by his new roommates’ bizarre 1:00 AM excursions. Encouraged to live a little and enjoy the sweet taste of revenge, Josh joins them on one of their outings, hoping to change his life for the better. The night, however, proves far more exciting – and dangerous – than he ever could have imagined.

You can watch Ross’s interview with Cedric below. And get ready to catch up on all the criminal activity in this brand-new, four-episode Dekkoo-original series – launching June 15th!
