I Am Begging You Not To Write Articles That Refute a Fictional Character’s Sexuality

Sebastian Stan stars as Bucky Barnes in The Falcon and the Winter Soldier

An article discussing Bucky Barnes' sexuality with director Kari Skogland sent Marvel fandom into a tailspin. This sort of framing isn't helpful or necessary.

Hulu’s Shrill Season 3 Isn’t Perfect, but It Feels Like a Sendoff

Aidy Bryant's Annie and Lolly Adefope's Fran stand side by side on Hulu's Shrill.

For two seasons, Hulu’s Shrill—based loosely on Lindy West’s memoir of the same name—has presented nuanced commentary on the reality of existing as a fat person in a wildly fatphobic society. On May 7, the series will debut its third and final season, and once again, it tackles some deeply uncomfortable topics while simultaneously giving viewers plenty to love.

I Am Both Excited and Terrified by Marvel and Star Wars Disney Cruise Additions

Avengers and Mando posts

So yes, I'll get over my own fear of the ocean if it means that I can sit down and have dinner with Tony Stark and Peter Parker before getting drunk with Obi-Wan Kenobi. I'll do it for the 'gram, and I'll do it because I'm always going to be too big of a nerd for these Disney things not to get to me.

Entourage Creator Blames “PC Culture” for His Show Aging Poorly

Kevin Dillon, Adrian Grenier, Jeremy Piven, Kevin Connolly, and Jerry Ferrara in Entourage (2004)

Sometimes shows don't age well for a number of reasons. Acceptable punching bags change, and jokes that were once normalized are discontinued for their othering qualities. Some, like Entourage creator, Doug Ellin, call that PC culture.
