Read More > News, Congress, Hope Hicks, The Mueller Report By Vivian Kane on Fri,1:17 Earlier this week, Hope Hicks testified in a closed-door interview with Congress. As promised, we now have a transcript of that testimony and it's as bizarre as what we'd heard, but there's also more information between the lines of those objections than we might have expected. Read More > Books, Sponsored, magic for liars, sarah gailey By Mary Sue Staff on Fri,1:06 Sarah Gailey's new fantasy noir Magic for Liars is getting rave reviews across the board—and it features a "sharp and tart" private detective protagonist, Ivy Gamble, who you're going to love hanging out with.

Read More > Movies, David Gordon Green, Halloween Reboot, Jamie Lee Curtis By Princess Weekes on Fri,11:52 As expected, due to the popularity both financially and critically of the Halloween remake starring returning horror icon Jamie Lee Curtis, Halloween 2 (for the third time) is currently being prepped to be released in 2020. Just in time for the scariest time of the year: election day.

Read More > TV, contributors, Jessica Jones By Patricia Grisafi on Fri,11:24 Marvel and Netflix's Jessica Jones is a show about power. Season one tackled intimate partner violence; season two focused on the parent-child dynamic. The final season that just debuted last week is more overtly political in its focus on the rhetoric of imagined white victimhood reverberating through the community and causing harm. Read More > News, abortion, contributors, week in reproductive justice By Kylie Cheung on Fri,9:53 Don’t let a relatively quiet week in the news cycle around reproductive rights fool you—individual states, as of this week, are still trying to ban abortion.
