When I read this headline this morning, I thought at first it was talking about a whole new movie called Encanto: No Time to Die, and I was like, “Oh wow Lin-Manuel Miranda is really branching out.” Alas, it’s just the name of two different movies. ANYWAY, here is your mid-week Pop Culture Fix!


+ The CW’s new superhero show, Gotham Knights, by CW’s favorite lesbian writer Natalie Abrams will have a bisexual character OBVIOUSLY: “Harper Row … [a] streetwise, acerbic and often underestimated, the blue-haired bisexual is a gifted engineer who can fix anything.”] It lands on October 25th! Harper will be played by Fallon Smythe.

+ Watching Euphoria makes Jodie Comer feel like she’s a hundred years old too.

+ How Jeopardy! star Amy Schneider fell in love with her new fiancee Genevieve Davis.

+ Inventing Anna’s lazy girlboss revenge fantasy.

+ Well I for one yelped when the trailer for the new season of Good Trouble kicked off with Lena and Stef.

+ We are living in a golden age of actors doing wild accents.

+ ESPN is launching a WNBA fantasy league!!!!!!

+ Speaking of the WNBA, we’ve updated our Brittney Griner post with as much information as we have right now about her being held by Russian authorities.

+ Disney employees are furious the company won’t denounce Florida’s Don’t Say1 Gay bill. (You will remember that Disney DID denounce Georgia’s homophobic legislation in 2016, which is a huge deal due to Marvel filming so much in Atlanta, and makes this Florida thing especially weird and gross!)
