Hey howdy hi hi, here’s your Monday Pop Culture Fix!
+ Stefania Spampinato, Dr. Carina “Orgasm” Deluca, is making a full-time move from Grey’s Anatomy to Station 19. Carmen says: “Maya and Carina are going down in history with the Shondaland gay legends, and I’ll hear nothing about it!” (Natalie says: “A threesome with a newly single Teddy Altman would pacify me.”)
+ This was also featured in Sunday Funday, but it’s worth seeing twice: remembering the short-lived queer villains of horror.
+ Valerie Anne’s writing about Umbrella Academy season two for you, but until then, here’s Ellen Page talking about the [SPOILER].
+ Wynonna Earp‘s season four premiere ratings were huge.
+ Harley Quinn‘s animated series is now on HBO Max; if you haven’t watched it yet, treat yourself! Season two is one of my favorite gay seasons of TV ever.
+ The Emmys will be virtual this year.
+ The trailer for Evan Rachel Wood and Miranda July’s Kajillionaire is here.
+ The GLAAD Media Awards were more political than ever this year, and rightly so.
+ Bryan Fuller’s looking to Netflix for another season of Hannibal (no way Margot and Alana will survive that!).
It seems queerbaity, but I have to show love for my new ship: Starcat from “Stargirl”.
I’ve been waiting for someone who watches this to tell me if it’s gay!
It’s not…so far, but watch this clip. Pay special attention to what Stargirl is saying in the beginning.

From this 2020 viewpoint, the things that some people once found objectionable about The Kids Are All Right don’t seem relevant anymore.
The writing is fantastic and from a queer woman. The actors are all incredible. Who cares if Julianne Moore’s character slept with a man? The character could’ve been bi, we don’t know. Who cares if Moore and Bening are straight? They exude such queer mom energy. At this distance in time, I’m happy to sit back and enjoy this movie for the amazing piece of art that it is.
