Welcome to your mid-week Pop Culture Fix! I hope you’re staying cozy!
+ Harley Quinn: A Very Problematic Valentine’s Day is not something I knew we were getting, and not something I knew we needed, but now that I have seen the trailer I CANNOT WAIT! Entertainment Weekly describes it thus: “Is it possible to have sex so good you send a whole city into pandemonium? That’s what Harley and Ivy are about to find out in Harley Quinn: A Very Problematic Valentine’s Day Special.” Sold!
Roses are red, Ivy is green, this Valentine’s Day get ready for something truly obscene 🥰

+ Tár is coming to Peacock on Friday, so you can finally stream it and have some feelings!
+ Anne Heche opens up about Ellen DeGeneres, Harvey Weinstein and Alec Baldwin in posthumous memoir.
+ How The Sims helped me explore my bisexuality and understand my autism.
+ Miley Cyrus just earned her first Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 debut in 17 years.
+ How Tumblr turned Columbo into a queer icon.
+ The Last of Us is breaking HBO’s viewership records.
+ “Kitara, you stay. George Santos, sashay away.” Wanda Sykes weighs in on George Santos’ drag persona. I guess this sociopath (Santos, not Wanda Sykes) is also in a fight with Trixie Mattel?
+ The Indigo Girls were surprised they made a documentary. (You can read Drew’s review of the Sundance film right here!)
The Last of Us is everything I hoped for and more. I love the games and all the pre-hype about the show had me worried. Usually when the pre-hype hits A+ levels, I’m always let down. Dude, I cried during the premiere because it was so perfect, the game actually playing out in my screen, with people, and emotions, the scenes, the cast, ugh, I can’t stand it in the best possible way. Lol.
The making of documentary for Willow dropped today, and it contains a small moment of Ruby Cruz and Erin Kellyman talking about being queer and playing queer roles for the show.
Wanda Sykes is a national treasure.
