“Fantasy Island” Is a Magical Queer Journey (Not a Reality Show!)

I decided to watch for the promised queer character, and for the Golden Retriever named Mr. Jones, and for Roselyn Sánchez who stands on the beach in a white suit for like half the show (I’m only a lesbian, after all!). What I discovered — much like the guests who visit actual Fantasy Island — has blown my mind grapes.

“Good Trouble” Episode 315 Recap: Lunar New Year

“Lunar New Year” is a very specific story about a Chinese celebration, crafted with input from Sherry Cola (Alice) and Kara Wang (Sumi). It’s something hardly ever — maybe never — never seen on TV before.

It’s Time to Give Harley Quinn a Girlfriend on the Big Screen Already

Not only is fan uproar begging for Big Screen Harley and Ivy, but for the first time, the actual plot in front of us is screaming for it, too. It’s now or never for Harley Quinn to make the leap, and we’re quickly reaching a crescendo in her movie arc where to do anything else would be cowardly.
