Sorry, But NYE Rom-Coms Are Way Better Than Christmas Ones

New Year’s Eve Rom-Coms Are Far Superior To Christmas Movies

Despite the fact that every streaming service has a three-string roster of holiday-themed love stories to get you through the season, Christmas isn’t a particularly sexy holiday. No gathering that involves your parents and any number of other relatives should be! As superior holiday film The Family Stone makes clear, Christmas is a time for tame romantic shenanigans. Sex is a punchline. The joke is either that characters are not having it because of parental prudishness, or that they did and regret it. At best, it’s PG. New Year’s Eve, however, is a totally different story. Read More

Grey's Anatomy’s E.R. Fightmaster Ships Amelia & Kai, Too

Growing up, Fightmaster didn’t see queer relationships on TV or in real life, so they made it their goal to be the “queer person onscreen,” which they’ve done with their role on Shrill, and now on Grey’s, too. Fightmaster is particularly proud that Kai hasn’t had to explicitly state their gender identity. “That’s so important to me, that someone would be able to watch the show and see that nonbinary doesn’t always have to be this huge discussion,” the actor tells Bustle.
