Loki – Season 1, Episode 1
Arrow episodes are on hold this weekend so I can make it all about Loki, the latest Disney+ MCU show! “But wait,” you may be saying, “didn’t Loki debut on Wednesday?” Well, yes, you’re right. Talking about shows on the weekend was set up on this blog thinking all new episodes of Disney+ shows would go live on Friday, but then they decided to throw a curveball and have Loki drop the same day weekly comic books do. I’m sticking to show reviews going up on Saturday for this series, but if the next one also drops on Wednesdays–signs point…

Strapped (2010)
When I decided to review a bunch of queer movies in honor of Pride Month, I had two goals: to review The Matrix trilogy–the directors are trans sisters, so that’s why I opened with the “or were made by queer creators” caveat–and to review Strapped, which is probably my favorite gay movie. It’s a bit of an odd one, but did you really expect anything less from me by this point?

Out (2020)
It’s Pride Month, and you know what that means! It’s time for corporations to slap rainbows on their logos and pat themselves on the back so hard that they’ll strain something! And this applies to streaming services, too! Netflix has an LGBTQ section, although it’s there year-round and isn’t being advertised on the main site as of writing. Tubi actually does have their LGBTQIA+ Pride movies on the front page, but after you click the Load More button (and it’s also a year-round thing). And Disney+ has… several TV shows that feature one (1) gay side character, a couple shorts…

Vampire Boys 2: The New Brood (2013)
By sheer coincidence, it’s been about a year since I reviewed Vampire Boys, a gay queer vampire flick that is… not very good. I didn’t do a themed Pride Month last year, so watching it in June was just something that happened. But here we are, now talking about Vampire Boys 2: The New Brood. Just about every major cast member has been replaced, except for… wait, who was Tara again? Of course I actually remember–she’s the girl that adds a smidge of bisexuality to what is otherwise an incredibly gay movie.

Arrow – Season 1, Episodes 10-12
It’s the weekend, which means more of me rambling about Arrow episodes! I know that June is Pride Month and the show at this point has little to no queer representation, but I’d already started this project before June and I’m reviewing queer movies on weekdays, so lemme have this little break. Last we saw, Oliver Queen got absolutely trounced by an assassin revealed (to us, not Oliver) to be Malcolm Merlyn, the first season’s big bad. Where does this main plot go in these episodes? Not really anywhere super noteworthy, but that’s the nature of long-running shows: not every…
