Glory

When Benji’s long-term boyfriend, Sam, dies suddenly in a freak hot dog cart accident, Benji finds himself vacillating between grief-stricken catatonia and manic horniness. His fixation on glory holes in particular leads him to Ari, an unconventional therapist, who guides Benji on a psychedelic journey through his own queer consciousness via the glory hole in his mind. Benji navigates shame, fear, piles of hot dogs, and a series of queer supervillains, on the road to understanding himself and his sexuality outside the context of his relationship with Sam.

Directed by Kai Kim, Glory leans on a strong ensemble — Billy Griffin Jr., Hunter Canning, Jason Veasey — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about screen titles of 2025.
