When you’ve reached the bottom of anything, you create a hollow.

Maya Rudolph was almost the star of Killing Eve, Megan Rapinoe comes out swinging for trans athletes, Pretty Little Liars: Original Sin looks familiar, and more!

Holiday meals have always been mired in conflict for me.

Plus updates on the season finale of Nancy Drew, Top Chef, New Amsterdam, The Bold Type, and.. did y’all see Cynthia Erivo’s gay new music video?

The taste of Butterbeer should have been my first clue that JK Rowling is a monster.

I absolutely remember this feeling. “Am I crazy? Am I just making this up to complicate my life?” The answer is, no, you’re not. You’re not making it up. It’s real, and it’s fine, and it’s gonna be amazing.
