Well I don’t know about you, friends, but I am still riding high on that Candace Parker news! But here’s the other news I could gather for your mid-week Pop Culture Fix!
+ Hawkeye continues Loki’s biggest LGBTQ mistake.
+ Related — Hawkeye: Kate Bishop is a step backward for the new MCU hero.
+ Please allow me to note that the easiest way to gay up both this comic book and this show would be to just make Kate Bishop gay like she has been FOREVER in the multi-verse. Let me just quote America Chavez here: “Princess, you’re not that straight.” Why! When MCU fans are literally begging for queer rep, and Kate Bishop is canonical queer rep, and Hailee Steinfeld already has an enormous queer following from Dickinson — why would you not just MAKE HER GAY? This is seriously getting ridiculous, Marvel.
+ Sue Bird, Megan Rapinoe, Ashlyn Harris, and Ali Krieger all joined the Off The Looking Glass podcast this week. Lots of talk about Bend It Like Beckham!
+ It’s the stealth queer storytelling that redeems some of TV’s nostalgic revivals.
+ Fried Green Tomatoes 30 years later.
+ The Naomi trailer is here!

+ Lesbian TV writer Natalie Abrams is working on a new CW series called Gotham Knights! You know her from Batwoman and All American and that means this one’s gonna be gay too! Probably!
+ The Watermelon Woman and Pink Flamingo were added to the National Film Registry.
+ Disney+ has cancelled Diary of A Future President, which is an enormous bummer.
+ Ashley Nicole Black seals an overall deal with Warner Bros.
