Just in time for the 20th anniversary of Jamie Babbit’s bubbly and sharp queer camp classic, But I’m a Cheerleader; Lionsgate has dropped a trailer for the 4K Directors Cut release out early next month. A subversion of the prudish after school special nature of sexual confusion polemics – the story follows the strait-laced Megan (Natasha Lyonne), a cheerleader who is sent to a gay conversion camp by her parents when they suspect she may be a lesbian.
It’s immediately clear that this conversion camp is not the usual subterranean institution that come to mind when one hears the term. It’s a deliciously gaudy place full of flamboyantly hypocritical counselors and other “troubled” youth who are just trying to come to terms with being themselves. That’s especially relevant for Megan, who finds herself developing feelings for another camper played by Clea DuVall (who’s made her...

A young Latinx man hired to portray a bartender in the Season 2 finale of “Good Trouble” took his mark in the South Los Angeles warehouse in which the scene was taking place and looked up and across from him. There, projected onto the wall, was the face of an even younger man who was a close family friend before he was killed by police. It was an emotional moment, but it was also the epitome of the environment the team behind the show was trying to create.
“We’re trying to create environments where people feel into what is happening,” says Patrisse Cullors, co-founder, Black Lives Matter Global Network and co-writer of the “Good Trouble” finale episode entitled “Trap Heals.” “It’s not a protest space, it’s not necessarily an art gallery, but it does protest and it is fine art. It’s a mashup.”

Last time on Pretty Little Liars, "A" hijacked a fashion show and masqueraded around like the devil; Emily got naked in front of Samara, who then unforgivably brought another gay lady to Emily’s modeling debut; Spencer used her fists to knock out Mona’s teeth, which she immediately fashioned into a belt; Aria continued her inexplicable fascination with Jason Dilaurentis; and Hanna invited Emily to live with her.
You know it’s going to be a good episode when the first previously is Jenna and Aria in pottery class in the dark, circling each other like some blind sharks.
At the Marin house, where coffee flows like water, the Liars are debriefing the hell "A" wrought at the fashion show and wondering if Officer Garrett has made any progress with Logan Reed, the Rps delivery guy. I don’t really remember what Garret was meant to be doing with that guy,...
