“In Case You Missed Them,” with the documentary Tom of Finland and the gay coming-of-age tale Beach Rats.
The Leslie In thisYouTube offering, Kate Johnson
portrays the titular Leslie. The web series, now in its second season, follows the exploits of, wait for it, Leslie who is new to the world of being out and proud. Naturally, she-nanigans ensue as she attempts to learn about dating and love, lady-style.
Picnic at Hanging Rock ThisAmazon series is based both on the novel

Castle Rock Show of hands…
How many of you can recite the movieCarrie, verbatim? Well, I can’t raise my hand and type at the same time! You’ll be glad to know that
Sissy Spacek is returning to the Stephen King fold forthe first time since 1976 in the author’s new series.

For This And ‘cuz I can, I’ll just
tell you that this drag queen train wreck is not worth either time
or attention…you’re welcome. There you have it, rather than risking skin
cancer, making new friends or getting stung by a jelly fish in the ocean, there are plenty of ways to avoid the harsh realities of life just by sitting on your couch. As friends, well actually just the school janitor once wrote in my yearbook, “Have a killer summer.”
