Totally Gay!

About This Movie

Totally Gay! is this curious little slice of early 2000s nostalgia that dives headfirst into gay pop culture from a surprisingly light-hearted angle. It’s hosted on VH1, so you know there’s a certain cheeky vibe running through it. The show touches on everything from the sitcom goldmine of Will & Grace to the emerging gay icons of the time, like Kyle and Lane Carlson, who amusingly claim they aren’t gay themselves. The pacing is very much in line with the era’s variety specials, bouncing from topic to topic with a playful flair. It’s not groundbreaking, but it captures a moment in time, exploring themes of identity, representation, and, of course, the ever-adorable pug. The entire affair has this breezy, fun atmosphere that makes it easy to watch, even if it doesn’t take itself too seriously.

Originally aired on VH1, Totally Gay! is somewhat of a rarity on physical media, making it a collectible item for fans of the era. Its informal yet engaging format reflects a transitional time in media representation. Given its niche appeal, it garners interest among collectors who appreciate the intersection of television history and LGBTQ+ culture. The fact that it remains less circulated adds to its allure for those who seek out unique television specials from the early 2000s.
