Every week since Roe vs. Wade got overturned by our current conservative activist SCOTUS, it seems like some red state passes another bill that takes us back 50 years or more with abortion access. That said, the fight is far from over and no one will have to go it alone thanks to folks like The Daily Show co-creator Lizz Winstead and her amazing org, Abortion Access Front.

Winstead additionally co-hosts a weekly podcast, Feminist Buzzkills, with Moji Alawode-El and Marie Khan that is equal parts catharsis from the present time and rip-roaring satirical takedown of the reality that religious zealots are dictating agency over women’s bodies. And, wouldn’t you know it… they’re actually doing a live taping of Feminist Buzzkills next week in NYC at Drom on Wed. Jun. 7th at 7:30PM that would make for a great opportunity to actually see that you’re not alone in the battle for reproductive rights (and enjoy a nice night out amidst our current dystopia). They’ll even have special guests such as Jeff Hiller from Somebody, Somewhere, TikTok star V. Spehar, and NYC for Abortion Rights‘ Saffie & Henny.

Tickets are going for $25 (w/$20 table min.) and you can (and very much should) get them here.

Take a Closer Look at Bridget Everett’s Somebody Somewhere Before the Series Premiere

Somebody Somewhere, the dramedy semi-based on the life and times of the inspiring comedic force of nature that is Bridget Everett, is finally just a couple of days away from being on HBO. It’ll premiere on Sun. Jan. 16th to be exact.

It’ll follow Everett at a different time in her life, back in Kansas, before she became the brash singer and comedian she is known and loved as today, perhaps almost acting as an origin story of sorts. 2022 has yet to have a series to be the unquestioned series to binge/watch week-to-week and this might very well have the makings of that very show.

See for yourself in this featurette here, then make sure you got access to HBO/HBO Max this Sunday.
