Kampan Soni: Czech-Indian boy plays a ghost-chaser and a bartender, jokes about cats, doesn't mention girls. With potential n*de photos

Ride or Die on Amazon Prime, features a professional assassin named Judith, being pushed out of the business due to her age, who discovers that baddies are targeting an MP (that's Member of Parliament, to Yanks) and his wife, Debbie.  Who happens to be her "ride or die" (best friend).

I reviewed the first episode.  Not a fan. 

Not much beefcake. We see Judith's hookup (Taylor Napier, on RG Beefcake and Boyfriends) shirtless, and her mark (Ed Skrein) coming out of the shower. 

No gay characters.  Calum Lynch (left) as Judith's handler gives off a gay vibe, but he flirts with a girl.

Even crowd scenes display endless arrays of male-female couples. 

And there's a nasty bit of queerbaiting.  In an antique warehouse, the PM's wife Debbie gets to a prized apothecary cabinet before celebrity antique dealer Drew Pritchard and his boyfriend.  They fume with envy.  Except the real-life guy is straight.  They just pretended he was gay to fool viewers. 

The only bright spot was Kampan Soni, the  cute bartender who Debbie complains to as she downs tequila after tequila.

Kampan grew up in Ahmendabad, in Gujarat State in western India, and graduated from St. Xavier High School in 2018.

He then moved to Prague, where he received a B.Sci. in Agriculture and Food Sciences in 2022.  He is currently a Global Mobility Specialist at   Amazon Prague, which means working in Human Resources.

There are two n*de photos on RG Beefcake and Boyfriends.

Plus he does comedy povs: "Making you question things you never noticed: Facts, Psychology, Hidden History"

"Why does the ATM pin have only four digits?"

"What do cats really think about?" 

"Why do we like horror movies?"

"Why are popcorns so expensive?"

Adults: Yet another "Friends" clone, but with more gay/bi guys, kissing, and c*cks

 

Link to the n*de dudes

Awhile ago I reviewed the first episode of Adults (2025): a contemporary Friends with five young adult friends  in New York, three guys and two girls, one Black and one South Asian.  They hate their jobs and pursue "will they or won't they?" romances; I don't know if they dance in a fountain while singing "Your job's a joke, you're broke, your love life's DOA."  

I didn't make it past the first episode. I was annoyed at the showrunners making an obviously gay character straight, just so they could increase the number of hetero-romances.  

But I recently had a bagel sandwich in my hands and no time to search, so I clicked on whatever popped up first on Hulu.  It was Adults Episode 1.8, with the not-gay black guy and a random white guy being victimized by a bullying teenage girl.  I fast-forwarded through the all-girl scenes, and ended up near the end, with the two in a car, consoling each other with  "You're not as bad as she says." They move in for a kiss, but the bully interrupts them: "I knew you were doing bedroom stuff with each other."  

WTF?  Did they decide to have the "not gay" black guy come out after all, and give him a boyfriend?  But the first episode went into excruciating detail about the Girl of His Dreams, who lives next door but he is always too tongue-tied to ask out. 

After extensive research, I figured it out.  I've never seen Adults before.  The show I reviewed was Not Suitable for Work (2026), which is also about five young adult friends in New York, three guys and two girls, one Black, one South Asian.  They hate their jobs and pursue "will they or won't they?" romances, and probably dance in a fountain while singing "Your job's a joke, you're broke, your love life's DOA."

Would you be able to tell them apart?

I think the Adults guys who almost kissed were Anton (Owen Thiele), who is canonically gay, and Paul Baker, always use both names (Jack Innanen), who is canonically straight. He dated both of the female friends, Issa and Billie, and now he's back to Issa.  Or is he starting on Anton?  We'll see what happens in Episode 1.9

 

Scene 1: The Friends haven't checked their mailbox in months.  They go through it. 

"My parents are in Jackson Hole," Samir (Malik Elassal, doing gay stuff on RG Beefcake and Boyfriends) announces.

"Who's Jackson, and how do they both fit inside? Paul Baker asks.  Kind of a sleazoid, aren't you, buddy?

Paul Baker gets a notice that his visa is expiring, so he has to leave the U.S. and move back to Canada. Everyone is horrified.  Can I come with you?

Scene 2:  The immigration lawyer says that he has no choice: go back to Canada and apply for a new visa.  

"How does this happen to our most well-hung countrymen?" Girlfriend Issa moans.   We have a backside on RG Beefcake and Boyfriends, but no d*cks, so I'll have to take your word for it.

"You could get married," Blond Billie suggests.

"That's visa fraud!  It's against the law!"

"But it's not illegal," Samir points out. I guess he's the Joey, the Stupid One of the group.

Girlfriend Issa offers to marry Paul Baker: "We have a beautiful spiritual connection, and you obviously worship my lady parts."

He consents.  Everyone hugs and congratulates him.  Near-Kiss Anton (Owen Thiele, right) looks uncomfortable, thinking that they were going to start a romance.  Well, ask him yourself.  

Problem: Years ago, Girlfriend Issa married a guy named Zach-Carlos as a joke.  They have to convince him to grant her a divorce.

Scene 3:  Appointment with the priest. She's Catholic?  88% of the population of India is Hindu, so I figured.... Paul Baker doesn't want to lie to a Man of God, so he reveals that they're actually getting married so he can stay in the country.  

"Have you consummated your relationship yet?" The priests asks.

"No," Girlfriend Issa responds.  "Well, in my mouth, and sometimes in my bottom, but no s*x."  Those things don't count?

The priest is satisfied that they're living chastely, but Paul Baker blurts out "That's not true.  We have s*x all the time."

He refuses to perform the wedding, but because of the visa fraud, not because of the bedroom stuff.

Lee H. Montgomery: The Boy Who Fought Mutants

When I moved to Los Angeles in 1985, my mother called every week, usually early Saturday morning, and asked "What stars have you met?"  But she wasn't familiar with most of the actors of my generation, so "Michael J. Fox" got a polite murmur, "Robin Williams" a vague "Oh yeah, I've heard of him," and "Lee H. Montgomery" a blank "Who's that?"

But Lee had more than enough claims to fame (and he was a lot friendlier than Robin Williams).

He played the boy who taught his pet rat to kill in Ben (1972).  If you separate it from the premise, the theme song, sung by Michael Jackson, is a touching evocation of same-sex love:

Ben, the two of us need look no more
We both found what we were looking for.
With a friend to call my own, I'll never be alone,
And you, my friend, will see, you've got a friend in me.

In The Savage is Loose (1974), an entry in the "s*xually dangerous kid" genre that Mark Lester  and Scott Jacoby specialized in, David (Lee) is shipwrecked on a desert island, along with his Dad (George C. Scott) and Mom.  David eventually morphs into the bodybuilding hunk John David Carson (left), and tries to kill his Dad so he can mate with Mom.  About the same plot as What the Peeper Saw, but with more n*dity.

In Burnt Offerings (1976), a married couple (Oliver Reed, Karen Black) moves into a California mansion with their son David (Lee) and elderly Aunt Elizabeth (film legend Bette Davis).  As the house starts asserting  itself, it tries to drown David, and then drops a pillar on him.

Was there a fad for threatening half-naked kids in the 1970s?  It also happened in The Possession of Joel Delaney  and The Omen.

By the way, the hunky Oliver Reed hangs out in a swimsuit.  He showed his altogether during the n*de wrestling scene in Women in Love (1969).

Nicolas Bechtel: Soap opera prince and Stuck twin femmes up, hot tubs with hunks, still believes. With two Prince prongs and a Cole c*k

  

Link to the n*de photos

The next person in my "Profiles to Do" folder that I've never heard of: Nicolas Bechtel.  I get a positive vibe from his name due to the lesbian cartoonist Allison Bechdel, whose Bechdel Test measures women's representation in movies.

But I'm sure he has no connection to that.

According to Wikipedia, Nicolas was born in 2005 in Fontana, California, nd best known as Spencer Cassidine on General Hospital and Lewis Diaz on Stuck in the Middle.

Prince Spencer Cassidine was born in 2006, son of Greek prince Nicholas Cassidine (Ty Sheridan, n*de on RG Beefcake and Boyfriends).  He began his life fighting, born  premature and infected with the deadly virus that was rampant in Port Charles. As a baby he goes through a paternity test, kidnapping, attempted murder, and his dad's near-fatal illness (it's General Hospital, after all).  

Nicolas plays Spencer from 2013 to 2020: he is  trapped in a fire and severel burned, kidnapped twice more, and sent to juvenile hall after stalking his mother.  

A 2020-24 Spencer, played by Nicholas Chavez (left), is attacked by the Hook Killer, beaten into unconsciousness, and kidnapped again. Finally he drowns in the River Seine (or maybe not).  He is heterosexual, with four girlfriends at various times. 

The Disney Channel's Stuck in the Middle (2016-18) stars Jenna Ortega as Harley Diaz, an engineering prodigy who is "stuck in the middle," third of seven children. She has three brothers, aspiring singer Ethan (Isaak Presley) and the twins Lewie (Nicolas) and Beast (Malachi Barton).  Neither of the twins seem to have any hetero crushes, according to the episode synopses and fan wiki.

Left: Malachi Barton has muscled up.

Nicholas has 14 other acting credits on the IMDB, including episodes of Good Luck Charlie, Baby Daddy, Girl Meets World, and American Crime Story.

He's got a 7-episode run in Rake (2014), with Greg Kinnear as a defense attorney who gets beat up a lot. 

Two movies:

The List (2013): Michael Peña stars as an FBI agent tracking down a killer who is targeting everyone on a list of people in the Witness Protection Program. Gary Cole (n*de on RG Beefcake and Boyfriends) plays his boss. Nicolas plays a kid.
