ABOUT THE EPISODE: “You’re Wonderful”, 2023, Dir. Daniel Minahan, 62 Min, Showtime, USA In 1950’s Washington, Hawkins Fuller is a war hero moving up the ladder at the State Department. Everything changes when Hawk meets religious Tim Laughlin: they begin an affair that puts them in jeopardy. FORMAT: DCP ABOUT THE SERIES: FELLOW TRAVELERS, 2023, Dir. Daniel Minahan, Showtime, USA FELLOW TRAVELERS is an epic love story and political thriller chronicling the volatile romance of two very different men who meet in McCarthy-era Washington. Matt Bomer plays handsome, charismatic Hawkins Fuller, who maintains a financially rewarding, behind-the-scenes career in politics. Hawkins avoids emotional entanglements – until he meets Tim Laughlin (Jonathan Bailey), a young man brimming with idealism and religious faith. They begin a romance just as Joseph McCarthy and Roy Cohn declare war on “subversives and sexual deviants,” initiating one of the darkest periods in 20th-century American history. Over the course of four decades, we follow our five main characters — Hawk, Tim, Marcus (Jelani Alladin), Lucy (Allison Williams), and Frankie (Noah J. Ricketts) – as they cross paths through the Vietnam War protests of the 1960s, the drug-fueled disco hedonism of the 1970s, and the AIDS crisis of the 1980s, while facing obstacles in the world and in themselves. The series is based on a book by Thomas Mallon Fellow Travelers. ABOUT THE FILM: PHILADELPHIA, 1993, Dir. Jonathan Demme, 125 Min, Sony, USA Fearing it would compromise his career, lawyer Andrew Beckett (Tom Hanks) hides his homosexuality and HIV status at a powerful Philadelphia law firm. But his secret is exposed when a colleague spots the illness’s telltale lesions. Fired shortly afterwards, Beckett resolves to sue for discrimination, teaming up with Joe Miller (Denzel Washington), the only lawyer willing to help. In court, they face one of his ex-employer’s top litigators, Belinda Conine (Mary Steenburgen). FORMAT: DCP
