Hello, it’s your weekly Pop Culture Fix, a thing to read while you wait for tonight’s episode of Riverdale. 

• You may think we’ve reached peak superhero TV would but I’m sorry you’re wrong. Marvel TV is working on a thing called Marvel Rising: Secret Warriors that BuzzFeed says is “an upcoming feature-length animated film about a new generation of diverse superheroes.” Those heroes include Kamala Khan’s Ms. Marvel; America Chavez, Marvel’s first Latino-American LGBT character voiced by The Fosters‘ Cierra Ramirez; Squirrel Girl; Captain Marvel; Spider-Gwen; and Quake. Also a supervillain voiced by Ming-Na Wen! AMERICA CHAVEZ ON YOUR TEEVEE.

• One Day at a Time is coming back on January 26th and here’s the cast recreating the credits from the original series.

• My comics pull list has dwindled to nothing this year but this new Harley and Ivy Meet Betty and Veronica crossover special set in the Riverdale universe has me rethinking my life choices.

The premise to DC and Archie Comics’ crossover special Harley and Ivy Meet Betty and Veronica reads like a piece of fan fiction, something television or film studio executives dream about but would never dare actually writing … When Veronica Lodge’s father threatens a special plot of land in Riverdale as part of his plan to build a new, Trump University-style school, Poison Ivy and Harley Quinn go on a road trip to have a chat with the billionaire about the importance of nature conservation.

+ 2017 was almost devoid of black leading ladies on the big screen, but 2018 looks fuller

• What a wild world.

GO SEE @ITonyaMovie #1 because my mom choreographed all of the ice skating but #2 because it’s SO GOOD and Margot Robbie is a boss.

• Broadly interviewed the always candid Margaret Cho and she chatted about this brave new post-Weinstein world and why she celebrates every time another man goes down.

• People won’t stop asking Kristen Stewart about Elizabeth Banks’ Charlie’s Angels reboot and honestly that is just fine with me. I’ve been waiting for a canonically queer Charlie’s Angels my entire life. I even watched that horrible reboot on ABC, even the burned off episodes after they cancelled it. (Also, it’s Liz Banks to her friends, just FYI.)

• Here’s the first look at Lena Waithe from season two of Dear White People. She “will recur in season two as P Ninny, a braggadocious MC who stars on a ridiculous Love & Hip Hop-like reality series called Trap-House Tricks.”

• Canadian electro-pop artist Lights came out as bisexual when she released her new concept album, Skin & Earth, which she says helped her work though her sexuality. She’s now releasing a six-issue comic series about that journey. She told People:

“You can get to know me a little bit by reading it, just to get to know my personality. She’s kind of a goof, this totally flawed person with issues, and she’s bisexual — and it made me realize that about myself, too. If I met the right girl, I could easily fall in love. Love is so much more than gender: You fall in love with a person,” says Lights.

• On December 17th the episode of Adventure Time called “Seventeen” will air and here’s what you need to know about that.

• Trans teen Latina Zoey Luna is the subject of a new documentary called Raising Zoey. It’s on the festival circuit right now; here’s the trailer.
