'Swan Song' is a Scattered But Sincere Story of Small-Town Redemption
Udo Kier takes center spotlight in 'Swan Song' as Pat Pitsenbarger, a gay beautician who comes out of retirement for one last job and rediscovers himself along the way.
Bedtime Tales (1985)
Sex through the ages is the theme of this white-hot romp from 1985. Some of the era’s sexiest strumpets strut their stuff as they illustrate the ins and outs of sexual expression over the last 100 years or so. The fun begins back in the Victorian era, when even a hint of ankle could be considered scandalous. Of course, behind closed doors they were showing off a lot more than just ankles! We proceed through the Jazz Age, the Depression and the buttoned-down 1950s, each vignette showing that there’s nothing new under the sexy sun. The action concludes in 1985, as we discover the truth about the carnal clips we’ve been watching. It’s non-stop time-hopping fun featuring the hottest starlets of the day!

What Netflix's “Shadow and Bone” Gets Right and Wrong with the Books’ Diversity
Netflix’s Shadow and Bone has a complicated relationship with race. It has a diverse cast, but not without its problems. Based on Leigh Bardugo’s two book series, the show features characters from the Shadow and Bone trilogy, which is very straight and white, and the Six of Crows duology, which is much more diverse. When bringing together a cast and writing about these characters, the team behind the show expanded upon some of the representation missing from the first trilogy, then seemed to take away representation from the duology. Shadow and Bone seems to play a bit of a push and pull game when it comes to portraying diversity onscreen.
