Pop Culture Fix: Jen Richards Joins “Clarice” to Put Buffalo Bill’s “Complicated Legacy” Into Perspective

Have you ever thought about putting little raspberry hats on your blueberry muffins before you put them in the oven? Well, you should think about it because I did it today and it was a tart delight! Also a delight? Your Wednesday Pop Culture Fix.


+ Clarice casts Jen Richards as trans character who will discuss Buffalo Bill’s “complicated legacy.”

“All I can say is that the character intersects with Clarice’s storyline in a way that her transness isn’t central to her storyline, but her identity as a trans woman prompts her to discuss with Clarice the complicated legacy of Buffalo Bill,” Richards said during a virtual premiere event for “Clarice” on Monday night.

  1. Mentioned in that Batwoman renewal article is that Walker also got renewed for a second season already and I am just asking how? It hasn’t even aired it’s third episode yet and going off episode 1 it isn’t that amazing a show, so is it just the cishet white man being the lead, or am I missing something?

    • I think they may be banking on some built-in audience from that cishet white dude’s supernatural fandom plus Lindsey Morgan’s 100 fandom plus Odette Annable’s Supergirl fandom? Not sure how far it’ll carry them, but I genuinely can’t find any other reasoning, aside from the their usual, unquenchable thirst for the young white male demographic.

  2. I should express that I like this article so a ton and moreover using it in regular. I believe you would continue sharing better than average article here.
