We did a podcast where we talked about how we feel no real connection to the show as gay men and got a couple of weeks of harassment out of it. I'm happy for the show's fans but it left a bitter taste and I have no desire to catch up on it
The female fans who led the charge in making the gay hockey romance a hit are also the ones policing its subjects.
Do women love "Heated Rivalry" too much?

There’s an unfortunate trend among 2025 Oscar contenders — one our Gold Rush columnist, @kn8, has personally been avoiding: the sheer number of movies that are about dead, dying, or sick children.

is Best Medicine (aka Josh Charles' Doc Martin redo) groundbreaking television? no. is it cozy and familiar and comforting in all the ways you want a January thing to be? yes.

Magic Johnson was the grand marshal of the Rose Parade today, and as someone who remembers his November 1991 HIV announcement: if you had told anybody that day that he would be alive and healthy 34+ years later, I don't think they would have believed you. Medicine and research—they work.

goodbye and good riddance to a show that started out so much more charming than it had any right to be, and ended up so much emptier than any of us deserved (w/ @thefienprint.bsky.social)
Critics’ Conversation: ‘Stranger Things’ Goes Out (Finally) With a Confused and Protracted Bang

Just watched the new Knives Out and I think it's really important you know that the scene in the Seminary's Gym is filmed in the same place Rick Astley filmed the music video for Never Gonna Give You Up.
I saw the window tracery and immediately made my friends pause the film so I could tell them.
