11 movies that drive bisexuals wild and where to watch them
The upcoming film Materialists may be about a very straight love triangle, but the promotional images of stars Pedro Pascal, Dakota Johnson, and Chris Evans are a bisexual fantasy. There may not be a threesome in the film (or a make-out sesh between Pascal and Evan, though we can dream!), but the chemistry between the three leads is undeniable. From video footage of the actors dancing together to photos where the sexual tension between all three stars is palpable to a photo of Pascal holding Evans from behind, this photoshoot is making us think very bisexual thoughts. — (@) But Materialists isn't the only film that has caused a bi awakening or driven bisexuals wild. Between movies featuring bisexual characters and films with hot leads that have fans questioning their sexuality, these movies will have you feeling very h-word or rethinking everything you thought you knew about your sexuality. Universal Pictures The Mummy The Mummy is the prototypical 'bisexual awakening film' because of the undeniable hotness of the leads Brendan Fraser (Rick) and Rachel Weisz (Evelyn) in this campy Indian Jones-style action adventure movie. For those of us who saw this film for the first time of the precipice between childhood and adulthood and were desperately trying to figure out who we were, Rick and Evelyn being equally sexy was as confusing as it was delightful. Where to watch: Rent on Amazon Prime Columbia Pictures Wild Things On paper, the erotic thriller Wild Things seemed custom made for straight dude bros, but queer representation was scarce in 1998 when Wild Things debuted, and although the film isn't full of overt gayness, there is subtextual homoeroticism and a threesome scene between Neve Campbell, Denise Richards, and Matt Dillon. Yes, it was definitely filmed from the male gaze, but having sapphic content on the screen at all in the '90s was a surprise. The plot is ridiculous and hasn't aged perfectly, but between the sapphic make-out scene, the homoerotic energy between Dillon and Kevin Bacon, and Bacon's full-frontal nudity scene, bisexual millennials had their brain chemistry changed by this film. Where to watch: Rent on Amazon Prime IFC Films Y Tu Mamá También Y Tu Mamá También is the ultimate bisexual awakening road trip film. Starring the endlessly hot Gael García Bernal, Diego Luna, and Maribel Verdú, the award-winning film questions traditional definition of masculinity and the machismo ingrained in Mexican culture in the '90s, and contains one of cinema's best threesome scenes. In it, Verdú's character Luisa goes below frame to unfasten both boys' belts, while Bernal and Luna begin to passionately kiss above her. The young men have such a close friendship and have gone on such an emotional journey throughout the film that the scene makes perfect sense, and while there is awkwardness the next morning, having a threesome with two men making out on screen was basically unheard of in 1999, making Y Tu Mamá También a revelation for bisexual viewers. Where to watch: Netflix, Hulu Columbia/Allstar A Knight's Tale A Knight's Tale joins the pantheon of 'bisexual awakening film' alongside The Mummy since it's full of hot characters being horny on main, period costumes, campy violence, and delightful limbo characters. The Heath Ledger starring film features a gorgeous noblewoman (Shannyn Sossamon), a woman working in the male-dominated blacksmith field (Laura Fraser), a poet (Paul Bettany), and a touch-feely squire (Alan Tudyk). On the film's 20th anniversary, director Brian Helgeland alluded to the film's bisexual overtones in an interview with Variety, 'They're all broken-hearted except for Heath, who is in love. And they're all in love with Heath in a way,' he said. Where to watch: Philo, rent on Amazon Prime 20th Century Fox Titanic At first glance, you may think of Titanic as a very hetero movie, but since the film features Leonardo DiCaprio in his twink-era and Kate Winslet, who is a dream girl in any era, this falls squarely in the 'movies that drive bisexuals wild' category. Add on top of that Billy Zane in all of his hot, mustache-twirling glory (there's a reason people ship him and Leo) and this one is definitely for the bisexuals. Where to watch: Prime Video Jennifer's Body Jennifer's Body is the ultimate bisexual horror movie. Not only is this criminally misunderstood movie full of bisexual yearning with Needy (Amanda Seyfried) struggling with her attraction to her best friend Jennifer (Megan Fox), but being attracted to both Jennifer and Kyle Gallner's character Colin and his guyliner was a bi-awakening moment for many a horror fan. Where to watch: Rent on Amazon Prime Tri-Star Pictures Labyrinth In Labyrinth, David Bowie plays a goblin king who sports eyeliner, skintight pants, and a generous codpiece. Need we say more? Between Bowie and Jennifer Connelly as the main characters, this '80s fantasy musical is made for baby bi fans you can't decide between the two. Where to watch: Tubi, PlutoTV, Roku Channel, Hulu, Prime Video, Paramount+, Peacock Annapurna Pictures Professor Marston and the Wonder Women Professor Marston and the Wonder Women follows William Marston (Luke Evans), who created Wonder Woman, his smart wife Elizabeth (Rebecca Hall), and university student Olive Byrne (Bella Heathcote) as they discover that they are all in love with each other. This sweet bisexual story has everything you need: love, bondage, a polyamory. Plus, the fact that it's based on a true story should give bisexuals everywhere some hope. Where to watch: Pluto TV, Prime Video, Plex, and Fandango at Home Dimension Films Scream Scream was a groundbreaking movie for many reasons, including popularizing meta horror, and also served as a bi-awakening for baby '90s horror fans. Neve Campbell as Sydney Prescott has everyone of every gender crushing on her, but the palpably chemistry between supposedly straight characters Billy Loomis and Stu Macher had fans questioning their own sexuality — helped, of course, by how hot Skeet Ulrich and Matthew Lillard were. Where to watch: Max MGM Challengers Starring Zendaya, Mike Faist, and Josh O'Connor, gay director Luca Guadagnino's Challengers is a feast for bisexuals. Tashi (Zendaya) may not be explicitly queer, but she exudes dominant fem-top energy and the tension between the three leads, including the chemistry between the two male characters is palpable. Although we never get a sex scene between Faist and O'Connor, we do get to see them make-out with the encouragement of Tashi who lays back and watches. Plus, that sauna scene… Where to watch: Prime Video Alamy Cabaret If the costuming and makeup alone didn't scream bisexual energy, the fact that the heart of the film is a love triangle between cabaret singer Sally Bowles (Liza Minnelli), academic Brian Roberts (Michael York), and wealthy playboy Maximilian von Heune (Helmut Griem), puts the film — and the Broadway play it's based on — squarely in the bi camp. Cabaret also features the subversive Emcee (famously played bi actor Alan Cumming on Broadway in the '90s), a sexually transgressive character who embodies queerness and plays with gender expression.

Fiction: Should Kosuke sell his father's shrine or should he take over and continue his legacy?
When his father died, Kosuke was in the sky somewhere between Los Angeles and New York, feeling about as content as he had ever been. Because his flight had been overbooked, the airline had upgraded him to business class and given him a window seat. So he was able to watch in comfort as the earth slipped away and the tall skyscrapers of downtown Los Angeles were swallowed by the purple haze. When the plane curved away from the surf-edged shoreline, he turned his gaze to the darkening eastern sky where giant cumulonimbus clouds edged in scarlet were creating a whole other landscape, separating and regrouping, changing shape constantly. As Kosuke watched the clouds, his mind brimmed over with possibilities. What if one could construct buildings from materials that responded to sunlight? Then the sun would dictate the form of the building: walls would automatically become transparent to allow in the morning light, darken when the sun hit them, and clear as clouds passed over them. At night, they would become opaque to conserve heat, but the roofs could become transparent so that those inside could look out at the stars. Windows would be able to open and shut like the pores on a leaf so that the temperature inside the building remained constant. He tried to imagine himself walking through such a city. It would be like walking through a forest in which every passing cloud made the shadows dance. He smiled at the thought, but the smile quickly grew strained. For while he had made entire cities, and destroyed them too, he had yet to design something of his own, something unique that would last through time. Sometimes he wondered: would he even know how, anymore? A stewardess arrived, providing a welcome distraction. She offered him a glass of champagne with a friendly smile, and he was reminded of the first time he'd set eyes on Kirsten on the sets of 'Wild Things'. He'd taken her for an actress and had been dumbfounded when she introduced herself as the producer of the Netflix miniseries. He remembered the feeling he'd had then, a wave of recognition bursting upon him and something deep within him coming to life. As he took a sip of his champagne and settled even more comfortably into his chair, he looked out at the sky again, now clad in shades of blue and purple, and grew sombre. Kirsten had been waiting for him when he got off the red eye from New York that Saturday morning. The weekend had stretched before them and he had felt full of hope. But they hadn't gone back to her apartment. Instead, she had driven them to Malibu, to the beach, and after a quick swim, for the water had been icy, they had walked along the beach and then back to the boardwalk, stopping for breakfast at Mel's, where inevitably, they had met friends and lingered, so that it was past lunchtime when they finally got back to her apartment, Kosuke had fallen asleep almost immediately. In the evening, Kirsten had given him another surprise – two tickets to the Los Angeles Philharmonic at the newly reopened Walt Disney Concert Hall, a building that had been designed by one of Kosuke's heroes, Frank Gehry, but which he hadn't yet been inside. Just as it had then, Kosuke's heart missed a beat as the soaring curves of Gehry's building rose within his mind's eye and he could hear once more the extraordinary acoustics within the hall. That night he hadn't been able to sleep, for Gehry's building had reawakened the urge to design a building of his own, one that would last instead of being torn down the moment the filming ended. Would he have remained in the film industry if he hadn't met Kirsten, he wondered. She was the one who had pushed his career, recommending him to other directors she worked with, talking through and helping him refine his ideas, shooting down those that wouldn't pass, either because they were too expensive or because they were too unusual. Ideas and words came easily to him when he was with Kirsten, and as they worked together on project after project, it had seemed logical to live together. He finished the rest of his champagne in a single gulp. Everything had been perfect, till Kirsten had begun to talk about having a baby. It had not come as a total surprise to Kosuke. Some part of him had been expecting it, for they had been living together for four years by then and Kirsten had just turned thirty-four. Yet, once the issue had been raised, Kosuke found himself unable to come to a decision. Each time his mind broached the subject, a black and white picture that had sat on his mother's dressing table till her death would appear before his eyes. It was his parents' wedding photo, with the two families arranged in three stiff rows: cousins, uncles and aunts standing at the back, grandparents and parents seated in the middle, on either side of the bride and groom, and the children on the ground, in the forefront. The upper half of the photo was dominated by the shrine, its heavy-eaved taisha roof encircling the group like a giant pair of wings. Other than his grandfather, who wore his priestly robes, all the men were wearing single-breasted dark Western suits with the buttons done up. But the women were all in kimonos. In the centre, his mother, dressed in a white wedding kimono with a hood and his father, in a formal black and white hakama, were staring unsmilingly into the camera, too nervous to even glance at each other. Yet, an invisible thread bound the group together. He had tried to imagine himself and Kirsten at the centre of a similar photograph but failed. And though he told himself a million times that it didn't matter, that he and Kirsten would probably have a civil ceremony in New York or at her parents' place, he couldn't put the photo out of his mind. Sensing some of what was behind his hesitation, Kirsten had suggested that they have the baby and allow time to decide whether they would get married or not. But he hadn't been able to agree to that either. For that would have meant dishonouring her and their child. As he struggled to resolve the conflict within himself, another, even more troubling thought had occurred to him: what part of himself would he be able to pass on to the child? To this question he could find no honest answer. So he had said nothing, hoping her question would fade away or answer itself some future day. After waiting a year for him to say yes, Kirsten had quietly told him that she was moving to Hollywood. They had been in a long-distance relationship ever since. The aeroplane's engines quietened as the plane attained cruise altitude. The stewardess stood up, getting ready to serve them dinner. Kosuke thought of the delicious cup of genmaicha Kirsten had made for him before he left. Then he remembered something else: that afternoon, he had woken up before Kirsten, full of the knowledge of their impending separation, and had stared long and hard at her sleeping face. All of a sudden, he had noticed that fine lines had appeared around Kirsten's eyes and on the sides of her mouth, the first marks of age on her flawless porcelain skin. But the wrinkles hadn't made her less beautiful, he told himself defiantly. They were like the cracks in the tea bowls that his grandmother would repair so painstakingly, filling them with almost invisible threads of gold. They only made her even more beautiful and precious to him. He wondered what she was doing at that moment. Was she working on her computer or cooking a lonely dinner in her apartment? More importantly, was she missing him as he was missing her? Or had she gone out, secretly relieved to have her freedom back? He stared out of the window at the endless sky, where purple had turned to indigo and the first stars had appeared. When would she decide she didn't want him back? Surely, she must know he was a coward? He was answered by silence, and the monotonous drone of the airplane's engines. After a while, he reached into his bag, pulled out his book, and began to read. But tiredness soon overcame him, and his eyes closed. He did not waken till they landed in New York. In the taxi on the way to his apartment, Kosuke switched on his mobile phone and checked his messages. There were three of them. The first and second were work related. The third was from his sister and made him forget the first two entirely. 'Father's dead,' she said bluntly in Japanese, 'you had better come home.' Till the end of his days, Kosuke could not remember what happened next. A roaring filled his ears, like a giant tidal wave crashing onto a beach. The city melted away and all he could hear through the noise in his head was the taxi radio spouting a language he didn't understand. When the taxi stopped at a traffic light in Williamsburg, Kosuke asked the driver to let him out, paid, and walked the rest of the way to his building.
