Bros co-writer and star Billy Eichner recently found himself in hot water with fans after sitting down with Variety ahead of the film's premiere.

"This is not an indie movie," he told the publication, claiming that Bros was making history as the first gay romantic comedy from a major studio featuring an entirely LGBTQ+ main cast. "This is not some streaming this which feels disposable, or which is like one of a million Netflix shows. This is a historic moment."

Fans quickly took to social media to accuse Eichner of writing off Fire Island, a queer romantic comedy starring Bowen Yang that premiered on Hulu earlier this year.

Though the Billy on the Street actor was quick to apologize for his comments, Fire Island writer and star Joel Kim Booster also came forward to clear the air.

"It seems like he was pretty inarticulate in his excitement about his movie getting a theatrical release, which is really f--king cool and something I'm sure the studio and his publicist is making him constantly talk about," Booster tweeted from Burning Man Festival on Sunday, sharing that he was proud of the film. "God knows I've said plenty of dumb sh-t without a publicist's help. I'm so proud of my movie and all the people who helped make it happen and am so grateful it was accessible to so many people on streaming, and don't see it as any less valuable because of that."

Although social media might be less quick to forgive, the Fire Island star says that there's no bad blood between him and Eichner and encourages everyone to see both films without too much comparison.

"Billy was my first comedy boss, is my friend, and has supported me in countless ways in the process of making Fire Island and ultimately our movies have very little to do with each other," he said.

"I truly hope you can enjoy both or neither of our movies without pitting them against each other (even though that is obviously a very fun thing to do and basically what gay Twitter was created for)," Booster continued. "I've spoken to Billy and we're cool, and I'm way too busy reading my 769 unread text messages and writing jokes about Burning Man to focus on this, so that's a wrap for me."

Booster ended the Twitter thread with words of thanks to his fans, writing, "Thank you to everyone for being so supportive, that's really cool."

Bros arrives in theaters September 30; Fire Island is now streaming on Hulu.
