Film Critic TIM SIKA talks MOVIES with KIM MCCALLISTER on THE AFTER PARTY LIVE! (10-3-25)

One day I attempted to fart into a Kazoo, and instead of a fart sound this men's choir pushed out with a long droning F# Major.
A day later I tried again, and I almost had my whole hoopla tightly around the wider end of the kazoo, but as an elder homosexual, naturally it lisped a bit, so then that clarinet-saxophone-Frankensound came out. I figured it was close enough, so I ran with it.

This has been long in the making. I just didn't really have ay idea where to publish it, since my main name needs to stay PG13. Enjoy!

Lyrics:

Late at night in a silent block,
Boots on tile with a heavy walk.
Shadow thick and the streetlight dim,
No one knows what’s inside of him.
He stops, he stares, he turns down a lane,
No signs posted, no one to blame.
He knocks three times on a metal sheet,
The door creaks open, he wipes his feet.
Something strange in the air within,
A heat, a beat, a scent on skin…
But no one speaks. They just begin…
And he walks inside with a hungry grin.

You’ve arrived at the PlayPen,
Private Club completely hidden,
The burly man’s dearest wish
To Roll around the floor in bliss
His lacy thong glazed with jizz,
Gaping bussy oozing lube and piss. 
You might be a twink, a fem, next gen, body less than perfect ten,
You’re always welcome to this hole of men,
A lustful den, it’s PlayPen

He moans through leather, the lights go dim,
Muscles twitchin’, sweat on skin.
“I’ll flip your skinny ass, and wreck you right—
But not tonight.
I want it deep. I want it rough.
Stick your manhood up the Duff, 
On my knees, ass in the air,
Dozen hard dicks around
Just about ready to pound.
His beard is wet, his lashes curl,
He’s daddy and debutante, one gorgeous gurl
Thong pulled high, he arches proud,

“Say I’m pretty,”
he grunts out loud.

So pop your pills get ready to nut,
In this tweaked out Burly Slut,
A permanent marker in black light’s Glow
Just tally your gift inside this bro.
On his back after you blow.

The lights go red, the bass goes low,
He’s crying out when juices flow.
This ain’t just sex, its holy bliss
Each load’s a gift , each grunt’s a kiss.
“This is my Church, now hand your Eucharist”

His eyes roll back, he starts to float,
Moaning prayers from a smoke-ripped throat.
Boots in the air, holes open wide,
He’s cum-slicked glory, Submissive Pig with pride.

You’ve arrived at the PlayPen,
Private Club completely hidden,
The burly man’s dearest wish
To Roll around the floor in bliss
His lacy thong glazed with jizz,
Gaping bussy oozing lube and piss. 
You might be a twink, a fem, next gen, body less than perfect ten,
You’re always welcome to this hole of men,
A lustful den, it’s PlayPen

You’ve arrived at the PlayPen,
Private Club completely hidden,
The burly man’s dearest wish
To Roll around the floor in bliss
His lacy thong  glazed with jizz,
Gaping bussy oozing lube and piss. 
You might be a twink, a fem, next gen, body less than perfect ten,
You’re always welcome to this hole of men,
A lustful den, it’s PlayPen.

#246 - Ditadura de direita, Penélope Nova e dizer “não”

Director Andrew Ahn first encountered Ang Lee’s 1993 film The Wedding Banquet at a video rental store with his parents. Compelled by the film’s Asian cast, but unaware of its themes. Ahn’s mother decided to rent the film for family viewing. “That was the first gay movie I’d ever seen, and it was a gay Asian movie.” Ahn recalls of the formative viewing experience, “It’s one of my favorite films. It’s such a beautiful mix of culture, sexuality, and family dynamics. That’s a really hard mix to find in a film.”

Deadline’s chief film critic Pete Hammond, who can also be seen on PBS SoCal's Must See Movies, moderates a Q&A with producer Caroline Clark and casting director Jenny Jue.

The Wedding Banquet Q&A

“Annoyed Crier” is out everywhere!

This track blends hyper-pop, synth-pop, and experimental elements to tell the story of someone who glows but has lost their sparkle; someone who chose betrayal over facing their own growth. They cry not because they’re weak, but because they ignored their chance to heal. 

The cover and visuals are inspired by ’80s vintage thrillers and Harlequin romance: mystery, passion, bold hair, and more inclusivity. I wrote and performed the song, illustrated all the artwork, and created the visuals (as I always do) as I love using hand-drawn and painted techniques along with digital tools like Procreate and Artstudio Pro. While I respect creative uses of AI, I do not use it; my art is all me, Baha. 

Endless gratitude to my genius husband, Roger Jarvis, who produced, mixed, and co-created this song with me, pouring his heart and wisdom into every part; and to Rob Robinson, whose mastering magic and continued support always bring the project home. 

Your sparkles, your genuineness, your “slay Libra” energies mean the world to me! ⚖️🔥  Coming soon:
* November 14 – “Word Garbage, Sent,” a very deep and sad song.
* “Annoyed Crier (LOL Remix),” an upbeat house take on the original with renewed energy and a dark slasher narrative: “The Sugar Snap Slayings: Revenge for Silicone Sins,” introducing Candy Strainfield, aka “Lipcrusher,” a beauty-obsessed punisher who wears an LED light therapy mask and hunts down college girls with a curling iron and other beauty tools. This remix blends horror, music, and German-industrial vibes.  

Make sure to follow me on your favorite streaming platforms, and click the link in my bio to subscribe to my YouTube channel where I always share surprises.

  Thank you to everyone supporting this journey and my art; let’s dance, cry, glow, feel, have fun, and find new meanings through music! 💜

His Boys Love Boys single series will unfold over the next year, leading into the album canNOT, which blends elements of alternative, indie, synth, and dark pop with many danceable beats.

🙏 Hope was the first song I ever wrote — it carried all the weight I was holding, and it became the foundation for everything since.

🎶 Echoes of Us showed me how far music can travel, how it can connect in ways I never imagined.

💜 Powered By Hope, Driven By Soul… that one feels bigger than me. It’s an anthem, not just for me to sing, but for anyone who needs it.

✨ These songs mean more to me than I’ll ever be able to fully explain.

I don’t chase perfect words here — I just want you to know these tracks come from somewhere real. If they mean something to you, then we’re already connected.

— Connor Charles 💜

From cinematic ballads to neon-soaked anthems, every track is built to make you feel something — loud, raw, and real.
