I said obscure and i meant it! From one of GREATEST FILMS EVER MADE, "Night Of The Comet", "Learn To Love Again", performed by Chris Farren and the fabulous Amy Holland. Perfect mid-80s synthpop.

ONJ's "Soul Kiss" was critically trashed, but it's my favorite of hers. It was a total campfest, with songs about throuples and trashy tabloid reporters. The title song is still a hoot
FUN FACT: she was pregnant in this video

So i watched both episodes of "Heated Rivalry" ... I mean "Ryan Murphy's Heartstopper" ... I mean "Skinemax Challengers".
1. It deserves an Emmy for the precise editing to avoid peen 😑(but i did glimpse some cock sock)
2. Both leads are perfect for their roles
3. I did very much enjoy it.
