Welcome back to your weekly Pop Culture Fix, the place where we put all the Kristen Stewart news that wouldn’t fit into No Filter.


+ Shane made Kate Moennig gay too! “Oddly enough, when I got The L Word, that’s where my wheels started turning,” she recently told RuPaul on his podcast. “I grew up Catholic and I went to Catholic school for 13 years so I wasn’t really in an environment to explore [being a lesbian’, especially at that time in the ‘80s and the ‘90s.”

+ Similarly, you fall in love with Gillian Anderson, she falls in love with her characters.

+ At TIFF, Kristen Stewart has finally speaks out about Robert Pattison — she absolutely thinks he’ll make a great Batman.

+ Pennywise loses his queer cred in It 2, apparently.

+ Here’s Evan Rachel Wood hanging out with “the world’s most human robot” (but for real). (Speaking of ERWB, her character in Frozen 2 is apparently not Elsa’s love interest.)

+ ’90s erotic thrillers and the satisfaction of watching women burn the world.

+ Portrait of a Lady on Fire crushed Cannes, is lighting it up at TIFF, and here’s the official U.S. trailer.

+ Jennifer Kent’s Alice + Freda Forever is nearing a deal with Amazon Studios.

+ 😂

+ There is such a delightful surprise for you in this The College Admissions Scandal trailer.

+ The realest interview Trace Lysette has ever done.

+ 😭

+ Yesterday, My Kid Is Gay released a free e-care package for parents and loved ones of trans youth called Breathe, Learn, Act in conjunction with #WorldSuicidePreventionDay. It’s a really cool resource with a playlist personally curated by Laura Jane Grace!

+ Every interview with Rebecca Sugar makes me adore them even more. This one with the AV Club is just perfect.

+ King Princess is ready for the throne.

+ Brandi Carlile and The Highwomen on making the best country album in years (and it’s true, it really is!).

+ With A Black Lady Sketch Show, Black women are no longer just background in sketch comedy. (You truly must watch this show; Amber Riley gets into a threesome in the finale and legitimately says the words, “I was so excited to eat that taco I forgot to ask if you have any boundaries.”)
