Boobs On Your Tube: Kate and Lucy Are Pretend Newlyweds on NCIS: Hawai’i, I Love This for Us
Happy Friday! Let’s see what’s new! Last week’s RuPaul’s Drag Race was one for the goth girls. Anya says that the second season of Traitors ended with a fizzle. Christina Hendricks and Hannah Einbinder got hot and heavy in new Hacks trailer. Drew went to see Dune 2 and immediately wondered which Euphoria characters would survive in that world. Gabe Dunn interviewed Couple to Throuple’s Ash and Maximo!
Good Trouble aired their series finale, capping off eleven years in the Fosters-verse! Carmen revisited Halle Berry’s Bruised for this week’s anatomy of a queer sex scene. Drew revisited bad 2000s movies that she loved just because two women kissed in them (and that is a perfect genre of film, if you ask us!) Kayla saw Drive Away Dolls and wrote not one, but two different Style Thief Breakdowns just for you! How To Button Up Like Marian in Drive-Away Dolls and How To Harness the Texan Lesthario Style of Drive-Away Dolls’ Jamie!
Autostraddle is turning 15 this week!! A TV-related fun fact is that the launch of this website coincides with the original L Word series finale, so we like to joke that Jenny Schecter died so we could live! Happy 15 year anniversary Jenny, may you rest in peace. To celebrate our birthday this year, we are making a week long party out of chaotic Top 15 lists, and a few of them are of interest your interest:
Top 15 Black Actresses Over 50 Who I Think Should Play Gay (Again) by Carmen
Top 15 TV Mommies I Want To Be (With) by Ashni
Of course, the biggest pop culture news this week is Sunday’s Academy Awards! And for the first time ever, Autostraddle is honoring the occasion with a week’s worth of deep dive film criticism about nominated films (yes, even the straight ones or ones that we otherwise normally would not cover). Get ready for some incredibly smart reads:
