An overly loyal homage to Netflix's Bridgerton, Rogue is a Doctor Who adventure designed to scandalise and entertain in equal measure. #Review

Good Luck Charlie, It's Christmas! (2011) 

I'm not super familiar with the show Good Luck Charlie. I knew it existed, but it was on when I was in high school, which is not a time that I was watching Disney Channel anymore. So I'm sure this would mean more to me if I had been a fan of the show, but I can review it as a standalone Christmas movie.

Our main character is teenager Teddy Duncan (Bridgit Mendler). She is the second of the four Duncan children. The whole family is traveling to Palm Springs for Christmas and mom Amy (Leigh-Allyn Baker) is a little stressed. Oldest sibling PJ (Jason Dolley) is excited for the trip like Teddy. Third sibling Gabe (Bradley Steven Perry) is reluctant to leave his gaming system. Lastly, fourth sibling is toddler Charlie (Mia Talerico), who is just running around doing toddler stuff. Also not thrilled about the trip is their dad Bob (Eric Allan Kramer) because Amy's mom Petunia (Debra Monk) is not his biggest fan.

Teddy is scheming to convince her parents to let her go by herself on a trip for spring break with her best friend. Amy tells her that if she can get the plane ticket herself, she can go. Fast forward to the airport- the airline asks for volunteers to get travel vouchers because they overbooked the flight (which does happen all the time and I don't understand why, like they have to lose more money on vouchers than they would with a few empty seats) and Teddy volunteers to give up her ticket. Amy rushes off the plane with her so that she's not alone, leaving Bob with the other three children.

Thus begins a ridiculous adventure for Teddy and Amy to travel from Denver to Palm Springs as quickly as they can by whatever mode available to them. Through mishaps and breakdowns, they meet a string of people wearing the wrong name patch on their jumpsuit, which is I think my favorite running joke through this movie. Meanwhile, Petunia and grandpa Hank (Michael Kagan) keep locking the Duncans in time out for various reasons.

The music was very Disney channel, which makes sense as that's the channel this aired on. The acting and production was pretty good, although there are lots of Disney Channel specific tropes that pop up, like the dumb older brother, and the parents who act crazy and immature until the teenager actually acts like a teenager and then they act like a parent. I'm sure there are more, but it's been a while since I've watched a Disney Channel original series.

Overall, it wasn't terrible. There were some cringe moments for sure, but I didn't hate it. I'll give it 2.5 stars.

Celebrating Black Queer Icons:

Lucy Hicks Anderson

Lucy Hicks Anderson was born in 1886 in Waddy, Kentucky. Anderson is known as a socialite and chef that became well known in Oxnard, California from 1920 to 1946. She became the first black trans woman to defend her identity in a US courts. From an early age Anderson identified as a girl. On advice from doctors, Anderson's parents accepted and supported this. Anderson would attend school in gender affirming clothing, such as dresses, under a name of her own choosing, Lucy. At the age of 15 Anderson left school and began supporting herself through domestic work. At 20 Anderson moved to Pecos, Texas where she worked in a hotel. Anderson next moved to New Mexico, where she met her first husband, Clarence Hicks, in 1920. At age 34 Anderson, and her then husband, moved to Oxnard, California. Anderson proved herself a skilled chef and baker, winning some contests. Anderson's marriage to Hicks eventually ended in divorce. After which Anderson used money she had saved during the marriage to purchase a boarding house. The boarding house served as a front for a brothel, and the sale of alcohol during prohibition. Outside her time as a Madame and managing a boarding house, Anderson also became a well known socialite and hostess. Connections made during this time would prove fruitful during Anderson's subsequent legal troubles. It is said that Charles Donlon, a prominent banker, helped get her out of jail, after her initial arrest, on the grounds that he was hosting a significant dinner party that would have fallen apart without Anderson's involvement. In 1944 Anderson married her second husband, Reuben Anderson. About a year later, in 1945, a sailor claimed to have received a sexually transmitted infection from one of the women working in Anderson's brothel. This led to all women working there being subject to medical examination, including Anderson. When the Ventura County DA was informed that Anderson was assigned male at birth he chose to charge her with perjury on her marriage license. During this trial Anderson would utter the famous lines "I defy any doctor in the world to prove that I am not a woman." and "I have lived, dressed, acted just what I am, a woman". Anderson was ultimately convicted of perjury and sentenced to 10 years probation and her marriage license was deemed invalid. This also led to the Federal Government to charge Anderson with fraud, based on her receiving spousal rights from the GI Bill. Lucy and Reuben Anderson where both found guilty and sentenced to a men's prison. Anderson was forbidden by the court to wear women's clothing during this time. After their release Lucy and Reuben Anderson moved to Los Angeles, California where they lived quietly until her death in 1954, at the age of 68. Debra A Harley and Pamela B Teaster's (editors) Handbook of LGBT Elders (link to Archive.org copy of text) notes Anderson as "one of the earliest documented cases of an African-American transgender person". Anderson is the subject of the 2nd episode of HBO's Equal, where she is portrayed by actress Alexandra Grey.

This was definitely one of the more informative of these write ups, for me. I was familiar with both the quotes Anderson made during her trial, but didnt know anything about the woman. Wilmer "Little Axe" Broadnax has been mentioned in several of these end notes, so he is definitely next. I think i pretty much have the rest of these planned out, but as always, corrections and suggestions are welcome and desired.

"Welcome to the Theatre": Diary of a Broadway Baby

Broadway Backwards 2024

March 11, 2024 | Special | BC/EFA | Evening | Concert | 2H | Fundraiser

I've already complained in detail about the lack of women, specifically old broads, in Broadway Backwards this year, so I won't repeat all that here. Overall, a solid night with some entertaining sketches. They've moved away from the overly sentimental things they've had in the past, and that's a relief. I do tire of the same sketch where a young queer twink has an unsupportive family with a shrewish bigoted mother and a sympathetic yet henpecked father. After the third year in a row, do something new. Why are women always your villains?

Highlights:

Chip Zien and Len Cairou playing old geezer gays at a bus stop, singing the pineapple song from Cabaret. Baker and Barber was a ship you never thought you needed until now.

Julie Benko in a 1930s speakeasy flirting with twenty young female dancers.

Two former Jasmine actresses actually flying around on the magic carpet (because they do this show on the Aladdin set and stage) singing "A Whole New World."

Alex Newell's "Back to Before" - it doesn't come close to touching Marin's rendition, but then, no one can. And it was damn good.

Gay Godfather sketch.

Surprise guest Debra Monk showed up at the eleventh hour, told a dirty joke, wore this snazzy white suit, and gave a wonderful speech. Genuinely, I was going to rate this night a solid "enjoyable..." but surprise Debra Monk instantly bumps it up to "a lovely night."

In short, Broadway Backwards has been just okay these last two years after a triumphant post-COVID return in 2022. I am begging them to please just bring back old broads. Who are these performers they're bringing on who have never actually been on Broadway but are popular with the kids? I don't know that man. Please. Where are my Divas? Where's Bernadette Peters in a sparkly dress?

Verdict: A Lovely Night

A Note on Ratings

[autoacafiles]

So this has been something that's been asked for a few times, so after a long times work, here we have it! A hypothetical voice cast for the characters of Autobot Academy. If there's a character you don't see, it's as we don't want to rush figuring out a character. We may update this list in the future, however it'll be in our own time, so we won't be taking any questions about specific missing characters. And hey, if you have your own voices that don't match up with these, then feel free to stick with that!

*KICKS DOWN DOOR*

HEY YOU! Guess what!? I’m starting a new series on my YouTube channel!

My favorite MMO of all time, Guild Wars 2, is celebrating 10 years of existence and has also been officially released on Steam! Not only is it my favorite MMO, but I genuinely believe it’s one of the best MMOs on the market.

In my new series on Penny’s Game Hoard, I’ll be showing off the full experience from start to finish, and explaining all the reasons why I love the game. Do you like:

A fully free core game? (Seriously!)

No subscription fee for the full game and its expansions? (Seriously! You buy the game and its yours forever!)

The ability to play your character how you want, regardless of which class you choose? (Seriously! You’re not locked into the boring trinity of DPS/Healer/Tank, and the playstyle of your class can change drastically based on what weapons and abilities you equip!)

Horizontal progression, meaning that your character’s max level gear stays relevant with every update, and you don’t have to endlessly grind just to keep up with the pros? (Seriously! Any max-level gear is more than enough to handle any endgame content, no matter what!)

A friendly new player experience with excellent tutorials and one of the best, most fleshed out wikis out there? (Seriously! Lore! Quest info! Timers to track daily achievements and events! Advice on how to build characters!)

A development team that doesn’t just listen to the fans, but also actively reaches out to them and encourages community, creativity, and growth? (Seriously! The official Twitter and tumblr of GW2 — @guildwars2 — regularly collaborates with content creators of all kinds and helps host events like the yearly pride parade!)

An actually honest-to-god diverse world with a cast that doesn’t feel like a diversity quota checklist? (Seriously! Canon on-screen queer romances! Disabled characters! Characters of color! This ain’t your typical “Eurocentric boring white abled heteronormative” setting!)

Giant buff cat ladies with big effin’ swords? PLURAL? (Seriously! And no WoW-levels of blatant sexual dimorphism either!)

Characters voiced by incredible award winning talents such as Nolan North, Tara Strong, Troy Baker, Matthew Mercer, John DiMaggio, Sam Riegel, Jennifer Hale, Debra Wilson, and literally so many more that listing them all would be nigh impossible? (Seriously! The IMDb page is really long and all of the folks on it put their entire soul into their performance!)

Then I highly suggest checking out my video, and trying out the game for yourself!

(Note: I’m not affiliated with GW2 or the development team in any way, nor am I sponsored by them. I just really like the game and I’m really damn proud that they’ve come to the 10 year anniversary!)

Farrah Abraham

Farrah Lynn Abraham (born May 31, 1991 in Omaha) is an American television personality, singer and writer. Her debut book My Teenage Dream Ended (2012) was on The New York Times bestseller list. Her fortune is estimated at $6 million. She was born in Omaha, Nebraska as the daughter of Debra Lynn Danielsen and Michael Abraham. Her mother had Danish and Sicilian roots, and her father was of Syrian, Lebanese and Italian descent. She grew up in Council Bluffs, Iowa. Her parents divorced, her mother remarried in 2017.

At the age of seventeen, she participated in the first season and two episodes of the MTV show 16 and Pregnant (16 and Pregnant, 2008), which aimed to document the lives of pregnant teenagers in the United States. News of her pregnancy caused problems between her and her mother, who called her daughter a slut and prevented her from having an abortion. Abraham, while pregnant, was forced to stop being a cheerleader. In addition, during the filming of the movie, Derek Underwood, the father of her child, was killed in a car accident on December 28, 2008. Abraham gave birth to a daughter, Sophia Laurent Abraham, on February 23, 2009. In the early years of motherhood, she was one of the characters in the spin-off Teen Mom alongside Maci Bookout, Catelynn Lowell and Amber Portwood. The show's series premiere, which ran for four seasons, aired on December 8, 2009, with the final series airing on August 29, 2012.

In 2011, she began attending the Art Institute of Fort Lauderdale in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, where she earned a degree in culinary arts and management. She later launched a line of pasta sauces called "Mom & Me" ("Mom and Me").

On August 1, 2012, Abraham made her mark in the music industry with the release of her debut studio album titled My Teenage Dream Ended, which received decidedly negative reviews from contemporary music critics. On August 14, 2012, Abraham released a memoir under the same title.

In May 2013, Vivid Entertainment released the pornographic film Farrah Superstar: Backdoor Teen Mom starring Farrah Abraham and professional porn actor James Deen. Abraham defended her decision to make and sell her porn films, claiming that she "wanted to show off her body." According to James Deen, Abraham was paid $2 million for her sex scenes. Shortly after filming her first sex tape, she made public part two of Farrah 2: Backdoor and More (2014) and began appearing at porn conventions. In January 2014, she hosted the fourth season of the VH1 show Couples Therapy, where she was the only person in the show's history to continue therapy without a partner, and focused on repairing her relationship with her mother.

In 2015, she took part in the 16th edition of the British reality show Celebrity Big Brother, in which she represented the United States. She was evicted after spending 23 days in the Big Brother house. On September 22, 2015, she appeared as a panelist on Celebrity Big Brother's Bit on the Side program and got into a heated discussion with Aisleyne Horgan-Wallace.The program was taken off the air 10 minutes early after a "clash" between the panelists. Abraham and Janice Dickinson were warned by police.

Her first acting role as Karen Simms was in the horror film Adam K (2017).She played the supporting role of Fannie Rae Baker in the slasher Axeman 2: Overkill (2017).

He challenged prevailing notions about sacred vs. secular and broadened the field for gospel music, bridging it with funk, pop, rock, and soul. Despite challenges to his early career and ministry, he earned many awards and made many well-received records, yet still kept his eyes on God. He’s best known for his recording of “Oh Happy Day, “ an extension of an 18th century hymn. Edwin updated it in 1967 and his worship group played it repeatedly at the Ephesian Church of God in Christ in Berkeley CA. In 1969 Hawkins took the church group and made a small budget recording of it on a custom label, with Dorothy Combs Morrison on co-lead vocals. Their modest production is lo-fi by today’s standards but—lo and behold—the track became a surprise international hit, reaching #4 in the USA, #2 in the UK, Canada, and Ireland, and #1 in France, Germany, and The Netherlands. 

Edwin’s version won a Grammy in 1970, has appeared in upwards to 20 movie soundtracks ,and has been covered countless times. It was also included on the RIAA Songs of the Century. George Harrison stated the song was a primary inspiration for “My Sweet Lord.” Here’s our modest take on it, and HB EH—thank you for making a joyful noise.
