To the point
At this point, “Donald Trump is good for comedy” is a sentiment so tired it has inspired its own backlash, and rightly so. Being asked to be happy for the triumphant return of SNL feels a little like someone commenting on the lovely weather as they lead you to the firing squad. And yet, on a…
Do you have any idea how frustrating it is to have to recap a perfect episode of television when you are ON VACATION? I was really counting on this installment of Riverdale just giving us more of the same: a lurid teen drama still searching for its voicem, that I could write a quick recap…
It is my pleasure to report that this episode marks a definite improvement for Riverdale, with the magical addition of an element that had been sorely lacking from the first couple of episodes: humor! This show is still figuring out its tone, which it has thus far borrowed from several other teen drama sources. Riverdale…
As someone who has spent her adult life as a very visible queer women, with all the awesome ups and disheartening downs that implies, becoming a parent has been disorienting. For years I’ve been used to walking down the street and hearing variations on “I can tell that you are Sapphically inclined, and I either…
Hiya folks. I caught a cold in Puerto Rico (my version of “I Took A Pill In Ibiza”) so my energy and enthusiasm for the machinations of Riverdale’s terrifying teenagers are at a low ebb. With that in mind, this recap is going to predominately focus on one of this episode’s storylines (“Mistress Betty and…
Well, here we are, you spineless, valueless, pandering eelfuckers. You were too chickenshit to spike Trump during the primaries because you were terrified of losing the fake “heartland” base you’re so contemptuous of. Because maybe – MAYBE – you’d lose a Presidential election while still probably hanging on to your appallingly gerrymandered House and Senate.…
1. You hate love triangle storylines on TV and are afraid that writers would use increased bi representation as an excuse to write even more love triangles, or worse. If there is more than one bisexual, what is to stop them from forming a love quadrangle? Or some sort of horrifying love pentagon involving a…
Look. So in the beginning there was a darkness that was less than nothing. Even to say “there was” is wrong, because there wasn’t. The only thing that existed at all was a tiny, bright ball of potential, curled tighter than a fist and no motivation to move. Until, quite unexpectedly, that ball had an…
Tensions were high at last night’s Super Bowl. Twitter wars broke out over beer commercials. All-American boy Tom Brady couldn’t smile his way out of questions about his politics and his integrity But one on point, viewers on all sides of the political debate seemed to agree: Lady Gaga played it safe. There’s something quite…
Y’all, Riverdale is trash and I love it. Is it a shining beacon of great representation? No, it is not. It’s Pop’s Chocklit Shop, a neon-drenched anachronism serving up only junk food, but goddammit I have earned that. I choke down horrible news all day long and in my precious free time, rarely consume any media…
