Now available on Tubi, Donia Kash stars alongside Heidi N Closet, Cara Melle, Trinity the Tuck and Crystal Methyd in Slay, a Tubi Original horror-comedy that is available to watch right now. In our latest Q&a, Donia talks about their interest in the role, the experience on set, and their love of vampire movies!
How did you first get involved with Slay and what interested you in the role of Jax?
Jem Garrard was looking for a non-binary performer who could do both horror genre and still have that fast-paced comedic energy that Jax brings to Slay. I just so happened to have auditioned for them on a different project and never imagined that Jax was the character I would get to play. They’re a character that has such Fan-Them energy that also lives inside me but they totally geek out in an extroverted way seeing the queens.

Survivor 46 has a dramatic night in store for the first post-merge episode.
Moriah Gaynor was eliminated before the Survivor 46 castaways united as one tribe. She became the final person sent home before the merge.
She was the second straight person from Siga who got sent packing, as she joined Jem Hussain-Adams, who failed to make the jury stage.
Only 12 people remain in contention for the $1 million prize when Survivor 46, Episode 7 begins.
People are suspicious of the rogue vote that resulted in Moriah’s Tribal Council elimination.
Charlie Davis was the person who didn’t vote for Moriah. Here’s Charlie’s explanation for why he voted for Venus Vafa.

Survivor 46 castaway Charlie Davis has had to address an unfortunate situation happening on social media.
Some background to the story is that Charlie recently celebrated reaching four and a half years together with his girlfriend. He is in a relationship and not looking for anyone new.
But a post recently popped up on X (former Twitter) suggesting that Charlie was having a flirtatious conversation online with another woman. He has stated it is entirely fabricated.
Survivor 46 fans met Charlie as a huge Taylor Swift fan. He later had a contest with Ben Katzman to see who could name the most song titles. Charlie named Taylor Swift songs, while Ben rattled off Metallica classics.
Later, during a challenge, Charlie yelled Taylor Swift’s name as he jumped into the water. It’s something that Survivor fans will remember for a while.

Survivor 46 said goodbye to Moriah Gaynor during the latest episode.
Moriah became the unfortunate victim of an Earn the Merge Challenge that left an entire tribe safe from the Tribal Council.
The three remaining members of the Yanu Tribe were on the winning team for the Merge Challenge. It meant they would be safe, and the next person voted out would come from Siga or Nami.
At the Merge Feast, Moriah and Venus Vafa were the two names mentioned as sacrifices by the two tribes.
Venus caught wind of Moriah being an elimination target, and she tried to shift the target. The editing made it seem like people were almost ready to vote out Venus.
At the Tribal Council, much debate was had about how the vote should go, but Jeff Probst revealed one-sided results.

A new episode of One Fire featured Survivor 45 winner Dianelys “Dee” Valladares speaking about challenges.
Dee has joined Jeff Probst and Jay Wolff on the On Fire podcast as a co-host this year. She helps provide information from the perspective of a former player.
There was much to talk about after the Survivor 46 merge episode. CBS viewers saw 13 people competing for the merge and a shocking development ahead of the Tribal Council.
For Survivor fans unfamiliar with the On Fire podcast, it is a weekly endeavor from Survivor host Jeff Probst. A new episode is released each Wednesday night following the East Coast debut of Survivor.

On Wednesday’s sixth episode of “Survivor 46,” the three tribes advanced to the “limbo” stage of the new era where they’d compete in randomized groups for immunity and to earn their spot in the soon-to-be-merged tribe. A lopsided, albeit random, rock draw left Moriah Gaynor in one of the vulnerable positions and then her own original Siga tribe joined every other player to unanimously vote her out of the game. Read on for Moriah’s “Survivor 46” exit interview from the end of the episode.
After being blindsided by the other Siga players when they banded together to blindside Jemila “Jem” Hussain-Adams and leave her out of that plan, Moriah knew that she was on the bottom of their tribal alliance going into the merge. And yet, when the three tribes came together, Moriah played along with the Siga story that they all, including Moriah, unanimously voted against Jem and were a united front.

Survivor 46 finally reached the phase where players had to “earn the merge.”
The new episode began with the three tribes receiving important Tree Mail indicating it was time to drop their buffs.
As Survivor fans know, this is when a tribe swap or merge takes place. And since they were past the point of doing a tribe swap (it didn’t happen this season), everyone knew what was next.
The three surviving members of the Yanu Tribe had some new life but were outnumbered. Siga and Nami each had five people who had made it to Merge Day.
Before meeting Jeff Probst, Yanu and Siga got in boats to head to the Nami beach. But at Nami, Hunter scrambled to find the key to his Hidden Immunity Idol box. The producers ramped up the drama, but Hunter found it just in time.

Heading into the sixth episode of “Survivor 46,” the remaining 13 players prepared to merge as the fifth person had just been eliminated from the game: Jemila “Jem” Hussain-Adams of the Siga tribe. Prior to that, Randen Montalvo was medically evacuated from the Nami tribe, and David Jelinsky, Jessica “Jess” Chong and Bhanu Gopal were all voted out of the Yanu tribe. So whose torch did Jeff Probst snuff during this week’s 90-minute merge episode?

Starting this recap with some sort of “Drop Your Buffs!” spin was one option for Survivor’s big “mergatory” episode, but I became wildly distracted by the fact that Tiffany named her hidden immunity idol. We know Yanu has been short a few members for a while, but I don’t think the idol counts as a full-fledged castaway! Yet still, it’s nice to see Tiffany and her new friend forming such a strong bond. It is a social game, after all.

Jem Hussain-Adams left Survivor 46 with an Immunity Idol in her pocket, failing to see a blindside coming from her tribe.
After returning to the real world, Jem has been blindsided by social media users lashing out at Survivor 46 cast members. Especially those people who voted her out.
One tribe was setting records in Fiji, with the Yanu Tribe going the longest without a flint.
Jem’s tribe made it the longest intact, taking all six members to the Day 11 Tribal Council.
But a plot had been hatched to eliminate Jem, and she was voted out 4-2 with a secret Immunity Idol still in her possession.
It left Jem one episode short of making it to the “earn the merge” portion of the season.

We finally have an instance of another tribe that isn’t Yanu attending tribal council in the fifth episode of “Survivor 46,” and it was a doozy. But there is still brewing tension within that purple tribe of three, along with one player losing his vote for potentially the next two tribal councils, and a risky, long-winded move that finally comes back to bite another player (or does it?). With “Tiki Man” ending in a shocking blindside, let’s break down all of the tribe dynamics and alliances before we head into the coalescing of the remaining players as shown in next week’s preview.
After 11 days, Yanu finally catches a break, winning their first immunity challenge (and their flint) and avoiding setting another record for the most immunity losses in the new era, as referenced by Jeff Probst himself. But it will be interesting to see whether they stick together...

Survivor 46 has reached the “merge” stage of the season. But since this is the New Era of Survivor, the players have to earn the merge.
Jem was voted off the previous episode, leaving only 13 people competing for the $1 million prize. Now it’s time for the castaways to prove they deserve a spot in the final 12.
Since it is time to earn the merge, it also means the remaining members of the Yanu Tribe have survived. Despite members at the first three Tribal Councils, Q, Tiffany, and Kenzie have made it to the next stage.
Yanu lost the first four Immunity Challenges, leading to Jelinsky, Jess, and Bhanu getting sent home. They were only spared from a fourth elimination when Randen from the Nami Tribe was pulled due to a medical situation.
To earn the merge (unless something has changed), two teams of six people will compete to make the merge.

The following contains spoilers from Wednesday’s episode of Survivor 46.
If Survivor: Caramoan’s Stealth R Us alliance was ever looking for a new recruit, Jem Hussain-Adams would be the perfect candidate. Not only did she jump through multiple hurdles to unearth clues, a lock box, its key and the idol, but the international brand mentor from Chicago also re-hid the clues, leading her tribe on a hilarious (for us), days-long wild goose chase.

On Wednesday’s fifth episode of “Survivor 46,” the Siga tribe lost their first immunity challenge and finally had to attend tribal council. Despite a so-called “girl’s alliance” being created in the season premiere, Jemila “Jem” Hussain-Adams was shockingly voted out when Maria Shrime Gonzalez and Charlie Davis decided to join up with the boys instead. Read on for Jem’s “Survivor 46” exit interview from the end of the episode.
Holding up her idol to the camera after her ouster, Jem exclaimed that she just made “the dumbest move with an idol in my pocket!” She sighed, “Honestly, I did not expect this. This was a total blindside tonight, but it was really fun for me.” A light-hearted Jem concluded, “I love that I replanted the Beware Advantage and got them digging for three days, so it serves them right they vote me out.”

Hey, "Survivor" fans. Tonight, March 27, 2024, another new episode of Survivor's current season 46 did indeed hit the air, and we saw another contestant get voted off in a good old fashion blindside at the end. Tonight's new episode kicked off with the Yanu tribe talking about getting rid of Bhanu at the last tribal council meeting. Tiffany told the private cams, "We couldn't teach Bhanu how to play while trying to play the game we wanted to play." At the Siga tribe, Jem, Maria and Moriah started talking about how Ben and Charlie are really close. Charlie told the private cams, "Maria is my number one ally, and I want to keep it that way." At the Nami tribe, they were all searching for a hidden idol except for Liz. She told the private cams she could barely find her own shoes. Hunter ended up finding the beware advantage. He...

The new episode began with only 14 people competing for the $1 million prize.
Three members of the Yanu Tribe had been voted out, and Randen was medically evacuated.
Well… Bhanu wasn’t technically voted out, but Jeff Probst felt the elimination was so obvious that he didn’t make the tribe vote.
Down to only three members, as the new episode began, the Yanu Tribe was in trouble. Could Tiffany, Q, and Kenzie finally win an Immunity Challenge?
As if anyone even needs a reminder… Yanu lost the first four Immunity Challenges. They still didn’t have a flint and had to trade fish they won as a reward for camp supplies since they couldn’t cook it.
Bhanu claimed his tribe lacked empathy in an exit interview. He shared an interesting view of what happened in Fiji.

After the third episode concluded with the Yanu tribe celebrating their unity and not having to attend their third consecutive tribal council due to a medical evacuation, the opening minutes of the fourth episode of “Survivor 46” knocked the wind right out of their sails (and again later in the episode particularly with one player). Meanwhile, Nami set another new target – this time not coming from Venus Vafa – and a major deception happened at Siga that while entertaining in the short run, could raise concern for potential dilemmas in the longer game. Let’s break down all of the events that commenced in “Don’t Touch the Oven.”
This was the first episode that Venus did not have a confessional, which as a result made the Nami tribe have the least drama this episode. But it looks like she may be able to gain another life in the game after the...

The Survivor 46 winner won’t officially be revealed for a while, but online information has been leaked that points to a few castaways.
A Reddit user named LifetimeRobot has become synonymous with confirming or refuting Survivor spoilers on threads.
The user was correct with the information they shared about Survivor 45, even though some of the pre-season spoilers didn’t seem like they could be correct.
So far, their information has also been correct about Survivor 46, supporting the assumption that they have some inside information.
Readers must take these spoilers with a grain of salt so far. The production team has not confirmed anything about the winner, and likely won’t to ensure viewers keep tuning in.
But for Survivor addicts who want a headstart on what could take place on the season finale, it’s interesting to look ahead.

When Wednesday’s Survivor kicks off, Bhanu is still flapping his gums, only this time he’s being honest with his tribe about what he spilled during his Journey. Tiffany is rightfully peeved. In one fell swoop, Bhanu threatened all of his tribemates’ games. The truly rich part: He doesn’t even understand why what he said was wrong! The whole debacle leads Kenzie to wonder why the guy even came on the show when clearly he doesn’t know how to play. “He could’ve just gone camping!” she says. Can’t argue with that. No notes.

Storylines continue to unfold and situations become messier in the third episode of “Survivor 46.” Venus Vafa targets a new tribe member (only to suffer another blowback), the Siga Beware Advantage is found (turns out earlier than expected), and Bhanu Gopal goes through an existential meltdown on a tribe that cannot catch a break – until they do. Let’s break down all of the chaos in the third episode of the season, titled “Wackadoodles Win.”
The kumbaya tribe that is Siga finally has some drama as everyone goes on a group idol search to find the Beware Advantage, with Charlie Davis specifically declaring he would not share it with the rest of the tribe should he find it first, which was followed by Jemila “Jem” Hussain-Adams noticing it in a tree right under his nose. She took it a step further when she decided to read it in the middle of...

Heading into the third episode of “Survivor 46,” the Yanu tribe was down two members after David Jelinsky and Jessica “Jess” Chong were voted out back-to-back. That left the Nami tribe and the Siga tribe in the lead numbers-wise as they both still had six people apiece. So how did everything play out on Wednesday night?

I’m going to speak on behalf of Survivor fans everywhere just this once: We never want to see a player go down like that, and not just because Tribal Council was cancelled!
In Wednesday’s episode, a Nami castaway had medical called in due to numbness in his arm and an overall inability to grip with his hand. That poor soul was Randen, who ultimately sat out of this week’s immunity challenge due to his condition. But after consulting with colleagues and conducting some research, the show’s head doctor (along with Jeff) decided to pull him from the game.

Survivor 46 has showcased the fun that Siga Tribe is having in Fiji.
The first two episodes have featured them having fun, with the latest episode showcasing a name-that-song battle between Ben Katzman and Charlie Davis.
Charlie is a huge Taylor Swift fan, while Ben prefers Metallica. The duo then took turns naming more than 100 songs by their preferred artist. It was something to behold.
But beneath the fun this tribe appears to be having — aided by winning safety at the first two Immunity Challenges — some drama appears to be bubbling up.
Eventually, the Siga members will have to go to a Tribal Council. Whether it’s as a tribe in an upcoming episode or later on when the tribes have merged, they will all have to face the music.

[Warning: The following contains Major spoilers for Survivor Season 46 Episode 1.] Quitters won’t make it far in Survivor. That much became clear in Survivor Season 45, when a self-elimination trend started to form. Jeff Probst declared that from this point on, quitting in Tribal Council means you don’t get to hear him say, “The tribe has spoken.” But the quitting came early in Survivor 46. Thankfully, it was a different kind. The season kicked off with a two-hour premiere on Wednesday, February 28 on CBS (90-minute episodes will follow weekly). The tribes are called Nami (orange), Siga (green), and Yanu (purple). On Tribe Nami are Hunter, Liz, Randen, Soda, Tevin, and Venus. On Siga are Ben, Charlie, Jem, Maria, Moriah, and Tim. On Yanu are Bhanu, Jelinsky, Jess, Kenzie, Q, and Tiffany. Nami reigned supreme in the first challenge, with Siga falling in second and Yanu in third. The same thing would happen in the first Immunity Challenge. How...

Matt Damon’s resume can boast of some of the most critically and commercially successful films in the history of Hollywood, which makes him one of the most accomplished movie stars in the world. Joining him on that list is none other than his best friend and prolific actor Ben Affleck, who together with Damon, won their first Oscar award.
Matt Damon in a still from The Bourne Identity
Ever since then, both stars have been seen several times sharing the screen and continuing to soar high in the industry. But in the past, Damon could’ve easily been part of one of the most critically acclaimed films that his friend was in and even directed, titled The Town. The reason why he rejected the role was because he didn’t like the script, while Affleck claimed that it was because he was too expensive for the project’s budget.

“Survivor 46” contestant Jemila ‘Jem’ Hussain-Adams proudly exclaims that her “husband is jealous” that she made it on the show. The 32-year-old brand mentor from Chicago first applied to the show in the same video as her husband, but only she got the call back. Watch their full CBS interview above.
Born outside the United States in Guyana, when Jem first moved to New York City she says it was “tough” because she was told that without a college degree she “could only make minimum wage.” But knowing that she wanted more for her life, Jem was inspired to dream bigger. “I deserve more. I want more. And I always have that drive,” she says.

Harper Lee's "To Kill A Mockingbird" is about as quintessentially American as a classic book can get. The 1960 novel, which is still commonly read in schools today, follows young Alabaman girl Scout Finch as she endures the trials and tribulations of her pre-teen years -- and witnesses the grim realities of the Jim Crow-era South. Some aspects of "To Kill A Mockingbird" haven't aged perfectly, but the book remains beloved for good reason. It's funny, sharp, and emotional, full of wisdom and harsh truth, and builds a world that's vividly alive.
That world made the leap from the page to the big screen in 1962, when director Robert Mulligan and playwright Horton Foote adapted "To Kill A Mockingbird" as a film. The movie version is indelible in its own right. It's anchored by a precise performance from Gregory Peck, who plays compassionate defense attorney Atticus Finch. In the 60 years since...

Phew! Episode 5 of Season 4 of Sex Education has us in a daze. Teenagers are always a mess, as Otis says, and this episode is too. Not to say that it isn’t a good episode, but it covers a lot of second-hand embarrassment. We’re finally seeing more of Otis and Maeve, but it isn’t in the satisfying, “we were waiting for the moment they got together” kind of way but rather, “Oh well, this doesn’t seem to be working out so well for them” kind of way. Because Maeve has so much going on for herself, Otis hasn’t had the chance to tell her about Ruby, and it’s been gnawing at his brain for a little bit. Will Otis make a mess of things, or is it because Maeve is just completely out of sorts? They’ll get over this obstacle, too.

Outlander season seven came to a mid-season stop this month with events hanging in the balance for the Fraser and MacKenzie families. While Jamie and Claire were relieved to leave the American Revolutionary War when they were tasked with accompanying a kinsman’s body back to Scotland, things were much more fraught for Roger and Bree, whose son Jem was kidnapped by one of Bree’s co-workers.
After going through a box of Roger and Bree’s letters from Jamie and Claire and finding out that wee Jem perhaps knows where the Jacobite gold is buried over in America, the dastardly Rob Cameron snatched Jem up and took him into the past, back through the trusty stones at Craigh na Dun, to retrieve the tantalizing treasure.

By the end of this week’s Outlander, two Fraser men are in very bad straits, with no clear rescue in sight.
“Well, actually, Jem is a MacKenzie,” you just thought. Ok, Ok — two men with Fraser blood coursing through their adventurous, often-in-peril bodies are left in seriously worrisome ways as we head into next week’s midseason finale. The aforementioned Jeremiah has been kidnapped by Rob Cameron (whom we all kinda knew was a tartan trash bag, right?), and Jamie closes the episode face-down on a field following the first Battle of Saratoga.

There’s been an intriguing mystery going on in the background of Outlander recently, and although the sixth episode of the seventh season, “Where the Waters Meet”, finally solves that mystery, it’s still not particularly clear who and what the show actually reveals in the final moments of the episode, for a number of reasons. If you’ve found yourself confused by it all, dinna fash, we’re here to help fill you in!
After Bree (Sophie Skelton) and Roger MacKenzie (Richard Rankin) time-travel back to the 1980s to make sure their daughter Mandy has a shot at survival, they make the familiar Lallybroch their home while they continue raising Jem and Mandy in Scotland. They leave Jamie (Sam Heughan) and Claire Fraser (Caitriona Balfe) in the past, but read preserved letters that detail the couples’ life, movement, and troubles as the American Revolutionary War gets underway.

Starz’s Outlander season seven episode five splits time between Brianna starting work in her new job as Plant Inspector and Jamie, Claire, and Ian’s experiences in Fort Ticonderoga.
The episode begins with Brianna (Sophie Skelton) finding Jemmy and Mandy in the old family graveyard and reminding them it’s not a playground. Jem admits that Mandy wanted to speak to granddad, although no one knows if that’s where he’s buried. Bree agrees it’s possible, and Jem confesses that he built a cairn for Jamie.
It’s too difficult for Bree even to enter the graveyard, so she remains at the gate. She’s not ready to take that step yet.
Bree returns home and holds more of her mom and dad’s letters. Roger (Richard Rankin) joins her, and she explains that the kids visit Jamie...

Musician Tim Cappello has a pretty fantastic bio on Wikipedia, the website describing that he’s “notable for his muscular physique, his sexually provocative movements during his performances and for his tendency to perform shirtless, with his skin oiled and hair in a ponytail.” Of course, Cappello is most known for his sexy sax solo in Joel Schumacher’s The Lost Boys back in 1987, which has gone on to become one of the most iconic aspects of the movie.
Here in 2023, Tim Cappello is back at it with a brand new sexy sax solo in the just-released music video for “Monster in Paradise,” the latest single from synthwave band Gunship!

My prayers at the altar of Dougal MacKenzie, patron saint of bushy eyebrows, have been answered: Starz’s Outlander chose to condense the Great Dismal Swamp part of An Echo in the Bone so greatly, it all fits into a small piece of this week’s episode, thank sweet baby Jesus H. Roosevelt Christ.
You all know I love Diana Gabaldon’s books. I’m usually very happy to meander wherever she wants to take me, and for however many pages she sees fit. But the chunk of her seventh Outlander novel that takes place in the Great Dismal Swamp just feels interminable.

On paper, there isn’t really anything I find that appealing about writer-director Laurel Parmet‘s feature film debut: a 17-year-old girl growing up in a deeply conservative Christian community in Kentucky trying to find herself while also engaging in a secret romantic affair with her much older, married youth pastor. As someone who is not religious and has very little experience with religion, this is not a film that I would exactly rush out to see due to its subject matter. Yet in spite of these personal obstacles, while The Starling Girl is by no means a perfect movie, this is a film that I can’t help but admire due to how much talent and passion oozes from the screen.

As cultural “discourse” becomes more aligned with scare-quotes than substantive conversations, putting a complicated piece of art into the world can be terrifying. “Sometimes, it’s scary to trust the audience,” said “The Starling Girl” writer and director Laurel Parmet. “It’s also invigorating and thrilling.”
Parmet’s directorial debut is loosely based on her own coming-of-age story, during which she had a relationship with an older man when she was just a teenager. Set against the backdrop of a patriarchal fundamentalist church community, “The Starling Girl” stars Eliza Scanlen as Jem Starling, a curious and clever teen whose world is upended by the return of intriguing young pastor Owen (Lewis Pullman). Drawn to each other despite many constraints that should keep them apart — their age difference, the power dynamic, and much more — their relationship serves as the catalyst for Jem fully coming into herself.

From “Saved!” to “The Miseducation of Cameron Post,” Sundance movies tend to paint fundamentalist Christians as severe, cult-like zealots, hellbent on brainwashing the next generation. While such portrayals can certainly be cathartic for those scarred by conservative upbringings, it’s a refreshing change to see this milieu treated with the level of nuance that Laurel Parmet brings to “The Starling Girl.”
Set in a small Kentucky town where morality is strictly enforced, Parmet’s promising, evenhanded debut focuses on a religious teen (“Little Women” star Eliza Scanlen) who’s never had reason to question her faith, until a crush on her handsome youth pastor (Lewis Pullman) awakens her sexuality and scandalizes the community. For the adults in this repressive rural enclave, organized religion seems to provide the discipline and structure they seek. But for 17-year-old Jem Starling, their values are starting feel like a straitjacket.

Writer-director Laurel Parmet’s The Starling Girl quickly draws us into the remote Kentucky community at its center, a place small enough that everyone knows everyone else. Wide-open spaces stretch out from it in all directions and keep the rest of the world at bay. Most importantly, it’s a place where all of life revolves around the church.
In this stifling place, every single move a person makes doesn’t escape Old Testament judgment. One early scene even shows us a teenager being forced to confess to the sin of watching pornography in front of the entire congregation so that they might forgive him.
Within this milieu, we meet 17-year-old Jem (Eliza Scanlen). At home, she’s forced to play the role of doting daughter, working tirelessly to care for her younger siblings. Her mother, Heidi (Wrenn Schmidt), watches her every move like a hawk, her face fixed in...
