Guess what’s back tonight on HBO? IT’S GENTLEMAN JACK!!!! My recap will be here for you tomorrow! In the meantime, here’s a Pop Culture Fix!
+ The Buzz Lightyear Toy Story sequel has added back in the lesbian kiss Disney made it cut.
Yes. We have a kiss. You saw it in the version of the film that you all saw before this Q & A. We’ve always had the lesbian couple. They’ve always been a part of the film. Being able to put back the kiss was important to us. It’s a touching moment. It helps Buzz to see what it is that he’s… It’s the life that’s being lived in front of him by his best friend that he’s not having. He doesn’t have those kinds of relationships. He doesn’t have a child. He doesn’t have what she has. And so it was important for us to get that back in there. And we’re really excited about that.”
