A cis teen gets caught in a web of lies when he’s mistaken for a trans man in mid-’00s gay Bushwick. Sound familiar? It’s the movie that Tumblr successfully boycotted, but is Adam (2019) actually… good? Rocky and Cody are on a mission to find out, diving into all the controversies and assessing director Rhys Ernst’s thorny vision. Persons of interest include Joey Soloway, Cameron Post, and dear Evan Hansen.
