Ryan Murphy’s acclaimed drama Pose will return with season two with a bit of leap forward in time. At the Television Critics Association summer press tour on Friday Murphy explained that season two would begin one year after season one ended. The season will begin in 1989 and end in March 1990 to coincide with the release […]
The Lady Cocotte’s Pose Finale Fandango
By The Lady Cocotte Tonight we bid a fond (if temporary) farewell to Pose, groundbreaking TV that somehow manages to feel personal. Over the past 7 weeks, the family Abundance welcomed us into their world. They bared their souls (the good, the bad) for our edification. And tonight’s finale ratchets the drama to a howling […]
The Lady Cocotte’s Pose “Pink Slip” Chinwag
By The Lady Cocotte Hot on the heels of an exultant second season announcement, we’re graced with a brand new episode of Pose. According to f/x, “Blanca makes a startling revelation about Lil Papi that changes the House of Evangelista forever. Meanwhile, Elektra rethinks her means of survival when the House of Abundance is evicted […]
The Lady Cocotte’s Pose Holiday Hoopla
By The Lady Cocotte Welcome to Christmas in June. It’s not a miracle. It’s Pose. The holidays mean different things to different people. Damon has high expectations. Christmas was the only time of year he was allowed to swan around the house in a costume without fear of the switch. It’s not gay if it’s […]
The Lady Cocotte’s Pose Pride Appreciation Post
By The Lady Cocotte It’s fitting that Pose airs during Pride. For generations, the LGBTQIA community has been erased from history in an attempt to isolate (“you’re the only one”), inflict emotional cruelty (“no one will ever understand you”), and condemn a life of eternal damnation (“find a closet and seal the door tightly”). Following […]
The Lady Cocotte’s Pose Pilot Party
By The Lady Cocotte The FX Network is quickly becoming my go-to for edgy scripted drama. Trust, Feud, American Crime Story (both The People VS OJ Simpson and The Assassination of Gianni Versace), and American Horror Story (seasons 1-7) keep me enthralled. Tonight we add Pose to that list. From the mad genius of Ryan […]
Andy Cohen and Ryan Murphy Weigh In On BunnyGate Before RHOBH Tonight
E! News recently interviewed both Ryan Murphy and Andy Cohen about bunnygate and Ryan was steadfastly on Team Rinna. The NBCu news outlet suggested using the housewives as the basis of an upcoming season of either Feud or American Horror Story and threw out some great ideas like, Feud: Jill and Bethenny and American Horror […]
Feud Bette & Joan Finale: You Mean All This Time We Could Have Been Friends?
Before I dive into the finale of Feud, I thought y’all might enjoy this quote about the show from Olivia De Havilland who is 100 years old and living in Paris. “I have received your email with its two questions,” De Havilland told the Hollywood Reporter in an email. “I would like to reply first […]
Feud Bette and Joan: Abandoned!
I was in shell shock from my tax bill last night and opted to have a drunken pity party rather than recap this show. I’m glad I waited because this is actually one of the more upbeat shows I cover and I’m totally in the mood for it today! “How can I sleep when my […]
Feud: Bette & Joan: Hagsploitation
I can totally see why more people (here at least) are watching Feud over American Crime. While both are actually pretty sad stories, Feud at least mixes in a lot of humor. Plus, Feud has Mamacita, and that alone makes it the winner. I am super happy to have this recap so that I can turn […]
Feud Bette & Joan: And The Winner Is…
Finally have a moment to recap Feud. There is so much on Sunday night’s I can’t possibly get through it all and there comes a time where trying to do one more recap would result in a recap even more incomprehensible and typo ridden than the ones you are accustomed to. As someone with no […]
Feud: Bette and Joan – Episode 4 “More or Less”
Because I have so many things to record on Sunday nights, I have to record Feud at a later time. Last night I must not have set it to record because it didn’t. I’m going to recap it from the On Demand option. This option doesn’t usually allow Pausing so I won’t have time to […]
Feud: Bette and Joan: Mommie Dearest
“It’s so easy, I’ll show you. You don’t inhale, that’s the whole point. Boys love it.” That’s the opening to this week’s episode of feud where BD is teaching Joan’s twins how to smoke. At least for the ten seconds it takes Joan to show up and put a stop to it. Joan’s maid, Mamacita […]
Feud: Joan and Bette “The Other Woman”
I am not recapping this show, especially after that depressing as fuck episode of RHOA that I just finished up. I did want to give you guys a place to discuss tonight’s episode for those who are watching. For those who are not, American Crime premiered tonight in this same timeslot on ABC and it […]
Feud: Bette and Joan
I am not sure if I will recap this or if someone else will or what but there has been a lot of talk about this show so I am going to watch the premiere and probably just make some comments. I really don’t feel like I am the best person for this job. I […]
American Horror Story: Freak Show Season Finale “Curtain Call” (Precap)
By: Urethra Franklin Warning: Spoilers below Well Freaktards I’m sad to say that the Freak Show ends tonight. Though last week’s episode had a season finale feel to it, we still need to find out the fate of Elsa, Dandy, & the rest of the freaks. First, I will quickly recap episode 12 before I […]
American Horror Story: Freak Show “Magical Thinking” (Precap)
By: Urethra Franklin Warning: SPOILER ALERT with the Mother of all spoilers too. Happy New Year Freaktards! I’m experiencing a holiday hangover after spending over two weeks with three generations of my big fat ethnic family. They have exhausted me, and I have been fighting the cold from hell. I’ve been sick for days now. […]
American Horror Story: Freakshow
See those chairs? These chairs are for the cast of American Horror Story: Freakshow which is filming right now in New Orleans. I’m pretty sure I am already out, but we shall see if our resident expert UF sucks me into this season. Just the pictures I have been looking at are giving me nightmares. […]
I’d Like to Blog About Gay Men, and Lisa Vanderpump
I’d really like to but I’ve been crying off and on for two hours but I’m not sure I can. I just finished watching the HBO movie The Normal Heart based on the play by Larry Kramer (who I just discovered married his husband in an ICU unit last year) about the very beginning of the […]
Real Housewives of Atlanta Recap: With Friends Like These
It is very telling that the title of this episode, With Friends Like These, refers to Cynthia realizing that her friends contract with Nene is essentially null and void. Nene gets the episode on disk the week it airs and this likely prompted her recent comments about “friends” and people “diminishing her character.” Nene cannot stand […]
Real Housewives of Atlanta Recap: Twirling With The Enemyen
Apologies in advance if the recaps come out a little slower tonight. I’m having laptop issues on my end and using a temporary keyboard I am not used to. We start tonight with one of those staged husband and wife scenes where Nene and Gregg recount for the cameras the previous nights events. Let me […]
Real Housewives of Atlanta (RHOA) Recap: Dropping the Ball
We begin tonight’s episode of the Real Housewives of Atlanta at the J Spot! Girl, Miss Lawrence sure did get lucky with Bravo. He has been promoting his salon and hair services for many seasons and they frequently film at his store. Then he lands Fashion Queens?! He’s probably making more coin than some of the […]
American Horror Story Season 4 Clues and Rumors on Theme
One of our avid American Horror Story: Coven readers and commenters, Beth, has been furiously researching for clues on the theme for American Horror Story Season 4. Based on her research it is starting to look like American Horror Story: The Illuminati. Beth sent me reams of research which I attempted to pair down for you […]
Real Housewives of Atlanta Recap: How the Hell Am I on Kenya Moore’s Side in All This?
I’m so excited to see Dwight back on my TV on tonight’s episode of Real Housewives of Atlanta! Phaedra is planning a “blessing” or an “inauguration” for Mr. President. She sold the story to the tabloids as a “traditional African naming ceremony.” Whatever she calls it, it can’t possibly be as offensive as Ayden’s televised […]
Real Housewives of Atlanta Recap:
It’s time for another episode of the Real Housewives of Atlanta! I’ve been doing some technical blog maintenance on the all day today and I’m excited to get another recap going! Let’s see what the ladies have in store for us tonight! I haven’t even watched the first looks yet, so I am looking forward […]
Glee (and Ryan Murphy) Is Finished With Nene Leakes
Nene Leakes can officially stop pretending she is just sitting by the phone waiting on Ryan Murphy to call her. She is officially finished with Glee. During the recent Television Critics Association’s winter press tour, Kevin Reilly, president of Fox, unveiled plans for the remainder of season five and for the finale season of Glee. […]
Real Housewives of Atlanta Recap: Welcome to the Neighborhood
I’ve already discussed the first few scenes of this episode, here. Phaedra and Kandi snark on Chuck. And Mallory seems to have an ulterior motive for showing up. It is not “mending fences” as she says, it’s more like running Peter out of Cynthia’s life. Mostly, I actually feel sorry for Kenya. Whether her dad […]
First Look RHOA and Blood Sweat & Heels
Phaedra stops by to see Kandi who is a bit confused how Phaedra and Nene became on good terms again. Well, Kandi, let me explain it to you, it’s called Nene needs a storyline. Carry on. Phaedra calls Chuck a light-skinned Frankenstein and they refer to his package as a cocktail weenie and a bite […]
Bravo Sets New Ratings Record For Sunday Night! Plus a Preview of Next Sunday
NEW YORK – January 7, 2014 – Behind the strength of its Sunday night lineup, Bravo Media earned its best night ever among all key demos this past Sunday, according to Nielsen. “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” earned a franchise high among total viewers with over 4.5 million and delivered over 2.7 million P18-49. The […]
Real Housewives of Atlanta Recap: Don’t Nobody Want to Fuck Chuck Now
I already recapped the first ten minutes of this episode here. The predominant theme was, “who hasn’t fucked Chuck?” Oh and Mallory is back to stir up trouble for Peter and Cynthia as if they need more shit in their marriage. I’m taping seven hours worth of shows tonight. I am hoping to get through this […]
RHOA First Look: Who Fucked Chuck? And Blood Sweat and Tears Preview!
I don’t normally do these, but since I am STILL under the weather, I thought I would this week so on the off chance I don’t feel up to blogging tonight, we will still have a place to chat. I still plan to try my best to get tons of blogging done tonight though. It […]
Nene Leakes Blogs About Tonight’s Episode on HER Website
I find it interesting that Nene is posting a blog about tonight’s show on her own website. And she seems grumpy. Let’s look at what she has to say… Kenya and Porsha have no clue about parenting so let’s just let them stay in their room and do their fake hug and cry. I love […]
Real Housewives of Atlanta Recap: Midnight in The Garden of Tea and Shade
We are back in Savannah and the bitching continues. Nene talks funny. I am not just talking about her atrocious grammar. She mispronounces words like “bonding.” I think she thinks she is putting on some sort of airs but really she just sounds stupid. For some reason, everyone is bringing up their sensitive subjects. Porsha […]
