Happiest Season: The Not-Out-To-Family Trope

The release of Happiest Season on Hulu has led to a stir of debates but this critic is done with the trope of not being out to family in films. Where are the films about being out and having an accepting family?  Why is it that the biggest LGBTQ rom-com this year forces a love interest into the closet?  There are other ways of presenting LGBTQ rom-coms but shoving someone into the closet isn’t it. …

Wonder Woman 1984 to HBO Max or Summer 2021

Wonder Woman 1984 will either get an early streaming release on HBO Max or be postponed yet again until summer 2021.
