I’ve read some eye-rolling Heated Rivalry takes, but this one demonstrates such a bad faith interpretation, a misunderstanding of Romance as a genre, and a failure in media literacy and critical thinking skills that I don’t know what to do. 1/

Laugh about it, shout about it: new #HitParadePod on @slate.com is about the chart history of soundtracks—from Bing&Judy to Barbie&Huntr/x. How did The Graduate reboot movie music in the ’60s, Flashdance in the ’80s? Will KPop Demon Hunters spark a soundtrack comeback? Come to this place for magic.
For Nearly a Century, Hollywood Has Left Its Mark on the Pop Charts
Movie soundtracks have sometimes eclipsed the films that inspired them in the first place.

For those of you watching 🏒The Gay Hockey Show™️—aka Heated Rivalry—allow me to go on a neurodivergent rant about how Connor Storrie’s Russian language work is so stunningly perfect that it makes me feel like I have wasted a decade of my life. We begin with this chart and the worst/best vowel ever! 🧵

You can tell that everyone in Romancelandia has hit the breaking point with bad Heated Rivalry takes today!
But what makes me *sad* is the way TV and film have trained people to expect that we do not get to see queer intimacy unless it is headed for toxic drama and/or death. I want to cry a little.

We laugh about Carpenter being in his weed and video games era (and good for him) but there are very good reasons he might have gotten sick of the industry. It screwed him over repeatedly and even though he eventually got his genre flowers, he is still obscenely underrated as a serious filmmaker.
Just thinking about how THE THING came within shouting distance of ending John Carpenter's career.

the best gay book for spooky season is The Secret Casebook of Simon Feximal by KJ Charles, which opens with the sexiest ghost story imaginable, and improbably turns into a gorgeous multidecade love story (with lots of ghosts and monsters)

A lot of people outside Canada want to watch Heated Rivalry, which is awesome, but the producers can’t just, like, put it in other countries. Media outlets in other countries need to pick up the show, so the thing to do is tell your favourite streamer to get the show!❤️

Esther and Delaney turned in a masterpiece here. The entire history of the meat packing industry is a vivid example but much of the story is analogous to ICE raids and labor shortages today in many industries
A lot has changed in meat packing since Upton Sinclair released The Jungle, but the industry is still dangerous and it still relies on our most vulnerable populations.
