Despite the fact that it’s almost the middle of September, there are still many promising films to be released. Bros, starring Billy Eichner, is a romantic comedy that you should keep an eye out for, for example. Since the gay romance flick won’t be in theatres until September 30, Eichner brought back his popular show Billy on the Street to spread the word across New York. And the greatest part is that he recruited Paul Rudd, the star of Marvel’s Ant-Man, to assist. In case you haven’t seen it, Billy on the Street is Eichner’s humorous spin on the “guy on the street” genre. The comic approaches strangers on the street and asks them unrelated questions.
This time, though, Eichner isn’t just promoting Bros the way he always has; he actually wants people to go watch it. Eichner’s return to the Billy on the Street format is sure to be familiar to viewers of his earlier work in the genre. Eichner’s quick wit is as sharp as ever. When juxtaposed with Eichner’s high-octane antics, Rudd’s soothing gifts are a welcome relief. Some of the episode’s best moments include Rudd praising another character’s glasses (Eichner hilariously has no time for that), Rudd and Eichner attempting to physically carry another character to Bros, and Eichner becoming so angry at another character that he apologises for not being Florence Pugh.
The comedian’s “crazy lesbians” have come back to aid with the advertising. Over the past decade, Eichner has been one of the most underappreciated comedians. His distinctive brand of uncensored charm never failed to have viewers laughing on his show Billy on the Street, which went on to become a TV series on truTV. It’s refreshing to watch Eichner go back to his comedic origins in order to promote Bros. The movie seems like a terrific and humorous way to celebrate being a part of the LGBTQ+ community, and it also seems committed to normalising this form of relationship in popular culture.
Stories like this should be shared, and Eichner is the man to do it. The actor co-wrote the screenplay with the film’s director, Nicholas Stoller. His return to Billy on the Street demonstrates how committed he was to Bros. Read on for a link to Eichner’s latest episode of Billy on the Street, guaranteed to make you chuckle. Before seeing Bros in cinemas on September 30th, you can see all of the episodes of the Billy on the Street TV series on HBO Max.
