Okay I heard the funniest joke this morning at the grocery store. What do you call a salmon wearing a bowtie? Sofishticated! Well and you’re welcome for that and also for this mid-week Pop Culture Fix.
+ Surprise, the bisexual sex scenes on Game of Thrones were a “frenzied mess” because the show didn’t have an intimacy coordinator even though it had a budget of ten gazillion dollars per episode. Gemma Whelan, who played bi badass Yara Greyjoy, told The Guardian:
“They used to just say, ‘When we shout action, go for it!’, and it could be a sort of frenzied mess,” she said. “But between the actors there was always an instinct to check in with each other… There was a scene in a brothel with a woman and she was so exposed that we talked together about where the camera would be and what she was happy with. A director might say, ‘Bit of boob biting, then slap her bum and go!’, but I’d always talk it through with the other actor.”
+ Did you see your favorite queers out and about in their Halloween best?

Starting with a fish joke? I sea what you did there.
Ready for season two of “Saved by the Bell”. Love how they get meta.
maybe this will kick off a wave of ocean puns. hopefully enough to tide us over until the next pop culture fix
just gonna dive right in, then
Seems to be going swimmingly.
Currently, anyway. Coming to AS and seeing a pun thread going always gives me such a happy peaceful feeling. Pacific, one might say. No worries atoll.
How did I not know that Ella Hunt is gay?!? There must be a god after all.
