Derek Magyar granted a wide-ranging interview to Pop-Culturalist, in which he talks about revisiting his role as X via Boy Culture: Generation X — and much more.

Snippet:

With the television series, it was getting the chance to work with Q. Allan Brocka again and working with Darryl [Stephens], with whom I have a really special friendship. And also Matthew [Rettenmund], who got involved as a writer on the series. In the film, he was more guiding it, and Q. Allan and Philip [Pierce] (one of the producers) wrote the feature, whereas Matthew wrote the book and Q. Allan wrote the series, bringing an extra level of excitement to it for me as well.

Check it out here.

Having this series drop was one of the only great things that happened to me in 2023.

And follow Boy Culture: Generation X HERE!

Also, if you're a gay man with a lot of any of the following to get rid of, I may be interested, as I'm building an archive:

Issues of gay magazines 1980s and earlier (especially local weeklies like David from Florida, Michael's Thing, Where It's At), including porn (Jock, Torso, Honcho, Mandate, Inches, Playguy and other Mavety titles in particular)

Gay ephemera 1980s and earlier (matchbook covers, flyers, invitations)

Gay photography

Gay illustrations

Gay Polaroids

Vintage Madonna, especially 1980s and earlier, only uncommon items like local publications, tickets, flyers (NYC early '80s)

Open to more. I sometimes am in the market to buy things, and am sometimes only interested if it's a donation. But I'm always interested in hearing.

Just putting it out there!

As longtime readers will know, my series sequel to Boy Culture — which is now entitled Boy Culture: Generation X — has been a long time coming. Now, at long last, it's here!

Dekkoo has acquired the series, along with exclusive, worldwide distribution rights.

That means it will be viewable at long last in the near future, far and wide.
