Wicked Queer 41

Life and love rarely stick to the script in this wildly unpredictable collection of comedy shorts. A long-awaited revenge dinner spirals into a full-blown horror show, while a desperate couple turns to the cosmos (literally) for relationship advice. A well-intentioned job seeker takes it upon herself to “help” a possibly closeted interviewer, and a heartbroken man embarks on a drug-fueled quest to track down the real curator of his life-changing playlist. Elsewhere, an embarrassing rejection leads to an unexpected date, love blossoms on the football field, and someone’s mom pops up on a dating app—awkward. Bursting with wit, weirdness, and just the right amount of chaos, these films prove that comedy is at its best when life goes off the rails
