In BROS, Bobby (Eichner) is a neurotic podcast host who's happy to go on Tinder dates, and content not to have a serious relationship. That all changes when he meets Aaron (Macfarlane), an equally detached lawyer who likes to play the field. Repeatedly drawn to each other, both men begin to show their vulnerable sides as their undeniable attraction turns into something resembling a commitment. BROS joins Crave’s Pride Collection along with a number of movies, series, and specials that celebrate the LGBTQ2S+ community

• In his first HBO comedy special, John Early (SEARCH PARTY) brings his unique blend of cutting commentary, pop star swagger, and all-around loveable hilarity to Roulette Intermedium in Brooklyn, New York. In the style of a gritty 1970s rock-umentary, Early performs stand-up and explosive song covers from Britney Spears to Neil Young, intercut with Spinal Tap-esque backstage sketches. JOHN EARLY: NOW MORE THAN EVER premieres Saturday, June 17 at 10 p.m. ET, and joins Crave’s Pride Collection.

JUNE 18 – HBO’s THE RIGHTEOUS GEMSTONES *Season 3 Premiere*

• Starring Danny McBride, John Goodman, Edi Patterson, and Adam Devine, HBO’s THE RIGHTEOUS GEMSTONES continues to tell the story of a world-famous televangelist family with a long tradition of deviance, greed, and charitable work. When the spoiled Gemstone children finally get their wish to take control of the Church, they discover leadership is harder than they imagined and that their extravagant lifestyle comes with a heavy price. The first two episodes of the nine-episode season drop on Sunday, June 18 at 10 p.m. ET, with subsequent episodes streaming Sundays at 10 p.m. ET.

JUNE 21 – HBO’s THE STROLL *Documentary Premiere*

• When Director Kristen Lovell (THE LADY AND THE DALE) moved to New York City in the 1990s and began to transition, she was fired from her job. With so few options to earn money to survive, Kristen, like many transgender women of colour during this era, began sex work in an area known as “The Stroll” in the Meatpacking District of lower Manhattan, where trans women congregated, and forged a deep camaraderie to protect each other from harassment and violence. Reuniting her sisters to tell this essential New York story from their first-hand experiences, Kristen’s intimate narration and interviews bring an astonishing array of archival material of bygone New York from the 1970s through the early 2000s, to life. Following its premiere at the 2023 Hot Docs Film Festival and Sundance Film Festival, and joining Crave’s Pride Collection, HBO’s THE STROLL streams Wednesday, June 21 at 9 p.m. ET.
