I wasn't planning to watch The Body, on Netflix (not to be confused with the 12 other tv series and movies of that name), because it's set in a Catholic girls' school, and the icon shows a lot of girls but no boys. But then Marcel Ruiz, the femme and fabulous (but straight) One Day at a Time boy, posted a locker room shot with Orlando Norman (left) and Cale Ambrosik (right), so maybe ther will be some beefcake.

Episode 1, "The Sl*tty God."

Scene 1:  Halloween, 2004.  A scary road, and then a Catholic Mass.  The Hot Priest says "The Body of Christ," and places the wafer on the tongues of the teenagers. He gazes at his "special friends."  Hey, there are boys, too.  I thought it was a girls' school.

Next, girls stretching for sports, and gazing at each other.  

A girl snaps a photo: "Holy f*ck, you guys look like a bunch of [LGBT people]."  Catholic teens in 2004. I'll give them a pass for being homophobic.

Scene 2: Two girls --- no, a girl and super-femme Leo (Jackson Kelly, n*de on RG Beefcake and Boyfriends) -- bike down the scary road, and arrive at the school late for Mass, just in time to join the communion line. 

One of the boys asks his friend about his gay bedroom performance.  They laugh.  I think they're just being homophobic.

Scene 3: A Plain Girl (maybe Leo's sister) is trying out for the Lions, a dance team.  The candidates strip down to their bras, pleasing the Blond Girl.   But Plain Girl's moves are awful.

They all adjourn to the locker room.  I've had enough girls for one day, so I fast forward through their mean banter.

Scene 4:  Bullies grab Super-Femme Leo's artwork.  One calls him a "perv," and the other "I respect the homos*xuals."

Cut to Blond Girl getting stuff done with her boyfriend Steve (Orlando Norman), but it doesn't work.  She doesn't like it.

Left: Orlando has played a gay guy in Boys on Film and straight guys in the gay-themed Wrecked and Sebastian.

Her Wife rushes up: "Are you hitting on my wife?"

They tell him that they're dressing as an angel and devil for the Halloween party.

Scene 5:  Blond Girl confides in her Wife in the bathroom.  "He's nice, but nothing he tries works."  Try it with a girl.

Very Religious Grace is spying on them.  She suggests praying to St. John of Cupertino, and leaves.

"Gay of her to be spying on us like that!"  I think they mean "gay" literally: Very Religious Grace wants an eyeful..

Cut to their test, something about Jesus and the Book of Deutoronomy.  Plain Girl Lisbeth lets Blond Girl cheat.  Afterwards, Blond Girl thanks her, and iinvites her to the Halloween party. "It's at Devil's House.  You know, the haunted abandoned convent?"

After school, Leo and Lizbeth bike home.  I guess it's not a boarding school. 

Scene 6: Super-Femme Leo and Very Religious Grace preparing a report.  He wants to argue that John  Kerry (the 2004 Presidential candidate) can't call himself Catholic if he condones abortion.  She retorts that St. Augustine says that our souls don't enter our bodies until months after conception, so early term abortion is ok.  

"No, abortion is murder, period."

"What if you get pregnant while really young?"

"Then it's on you for doing bedroom stuff," Super-Femme Leo says, gazing at her as she performs *ral stuff on her pen."

Leo rushes out.  He sees a photo of the priest and says "Forgive me, Father," then starts praying to St. Michael.  Dang it, all of the hints that he's gay were just misdirections. 

Meanwhile, Very Religious Grace gets a text about the Halloween party tonight.  A little late, isn't it?

Next, she sneaks a peek at Leo's artwork, and is disgusted.  When Leo returns, she orders him to leave.

Please don't tell anyone."  We still haven't see the art.  Is it ladies or men?

Scene 7:  Plain Girl Lisbeth's bedridden Mom watching TV Preacher Josh Cruddas (n*de photo on RG Beefcake and Boyfriends).  Hey, that's a Pentecostal sermon.  Pentecostals don't even like Catholics. I'm fast forwarding past the applying of salve and the dying mom discussion.

Lisbeth finds a mouse in a humane mouse trap, and feeds it to her pet snake.

Cut to the girls squealing and shrieking as they get high on the way to the party. I have never seen any group of girls so inexorably "gone wild."

Blond Girl calls Very Religious Grace: "There's a special initiation for the Lions tonight, so whatever you see, don't freak out."

Uh-oh, Very Religious Grace hears a loud thudding.  She approaches carefully, and finds the intruder in the kitchen: the Hot Priest (Nnamdi Asomugha). Why did the priest break in to steal her stuff?

Psych! The priest is her uncle, bringing pizza in case she forgot to eat. 

She gets a message from Leo, and ignores it.  Hot Priest thinks she is upset, but she yells at him for being over-protective.

Scene 8: Plain Girl Lisbeth, dressed in an ancient Greek outfit for the party, asks Super-Femme Leo to iron her hair.

"Did our bedridden, dying Mom give you permission to go to a Halloween party."

"She didn't say I couldn't go, since I didn't ask."
