“We have our own rules about what’s ethical or not ethical, in terms of dating and commitment and monogamy,” Eichner adds. “And two men together is a very unique, specific romantic situation. Because yes, we’re gay. But, as I often tell my straight friends, we’re still men. I think straight people think we’re basically women. We are men! I always say to my straight male friends, ‘Think about all the weird, fucked-up male shit you have in your brain about sex and monogamy and being vulnerable.
Setting that kind of movie outside of the well-trodden world of straight people also allows for reams of legitimately fresh-feeling comedy. a and Chekhov plays onstage when he studied acting at Northwestern, and always saw himself as a leading man. But as a 43-year-old openly gay man, he had nearly given up on anyone in Hollywood agreeing with him.
“I had an experience years ago, when I was in my mid-thirties [and] had not seriously dated anyone in a long time,” he says. “And all of a sudden, I met someone who really shook me up, who I really fell for very quickly. It was more short-lived, but it did open my eyes in terms of relationships and love and made me think, ‘Oh, maybe I shouldn’t completely ignore that part of my life.
With the exception of a celebrity cameo or two, every single role in the movie is played by an LGBTQ+ performer. “There were just so many amazing people who all deserved to work a lot more than they work,” says Apatow. “When you do the casting, and you see how hysterical everybody is, and how strong, it instantly makes you feel bad that there haven’t been enough opportunities for them.”
