DINNER PARTNERS with Christopher & Eric

In their second and final episode devoted to the Paramount + true crime series, SIN CITY GIGOLO, Christopher and Eric watch in disgust as a sanctimonious district attorney attempts to deflect the public's attention from terrible police work, and the man who most likely committed this awful crime descends into self-pitying rationalizations and flat out delusions.

In 2019, a devastating fire swept through the cathedral’s ceiling, de...

Welcome to Tres Paris Month, in which Christopher and Eric rub your noses in the fact that they just completed an amazing Parisian holiday to celebrate both of their birthdays — and you didn’t, presumably. 2024 was the year from hell, so your hosts were long overdue for a charming vacation packed with history, foie gras and Eric’s stern notes for the curators of the Louvre.
