Okay wow I had no idea how interested y’all would be in my robot eyeball massager! I didn’t link it last time because I didn’t want to seem like your straight friends from high school who are peddling pyramid scheme supplements on Facebook! Okay and here it is. And also here is your first Pop Culture Fix of the week!

+ Ariana DeBose will star in and executive produce Two And Only, with a screenplay by Latina LGBTQ+ writer Jen Rivas-DeLoose. Deadline describes it as “My Best Friend’s Wedding with a bisexual Latinx POV.”

+ Looks like Prime’s rolling out the key art for the new (and gay!) A League of Their Own series with BASEBALL CARDS! We don’t know who all’s gonna be gay here yet, but we do know Rosie’s back and she owns a bar, and that there’s women named Carson, Max, and Jo, and that the series plans to “lean hard” into conversations about sexuality and racism.

+ Related: This is one of the best things I’ve read about the Killing Eve finale, the ending of which I truly just hated, but have mostly kept quiet about because I didn’t want to get whipped up into a frenzy like some meringue, so I needed some time to really process it all. Anyway: Killing Eve chose cruelty, by Angelica Jade Bastién over at Vulture.

+ Legacies, Legends, and Batwoman are the bubble shows fans want renewed.

Oh ho ho and here’s so many trailers.

+ Too little Tessa, but HELLO ALSO!

+ Hulu’s new series, A Conversation With Friends, is about “relationships that can’t be defined” — so obviously it’s gay, and there’s a new Phoebe Bridgers song attached to it, so it’s sad and longing too, which is also G A Y.

+ Want a trailer for Hacks season two? Of course you do!
