    What happens when you mix high school drama, unsolved mysteries, and a ghostly love triangle (or two)? You get School Spirits—and Season 2 is taking everything to the next level. More secrets. More hauntings. More romance. And yes, it’s even gayer.

    This season, Maddie’s journey in the afterlife gets more complicated as new truths unravel, old spirits reveal hidden pasts, and relationships—both spectral and human—get even messier. Caitlynn McDaniel sat down with the cast to unpack it all:
    • Nick Pugliese, Sarah Yarkin & Josh Zuckerman on ghostly perks (and major downsides), the most ridiculous fan theories they’ve heard, and the hilarious lies they’ve made up about the show themselves.
    • Spencer MacPherson, Rainbow Wedell, Kiara Pichardo & Kristian Ventura on real-life ghost encounters, the ultimate haunted high school wardrobe, and whether naming a ghost makes them friendlier (or just creepier).
    Season 2 is bringing the drama, the laughs, and plenty of surprises. If you’re watching along, you know things are getting weird—in the best way.Got a favorite fan theory? A ghost ship you’re rooting for? Let us know!

    XO, Kitty Season 2: Catch Up on the Romance, Rivalries & Chaos
    Mar 5 2025
    Netflix’s XO, Kitty is back, and if you haven’t caught up on Season 2 yet—consider this your sign! The To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before spin-off returned in January, bringing more romance, chaos, and LGBTQ+ representation to KISS Academy. Now, with a third season officially confirmed, it’s the perfect time to dive in.

    Created by Jenny Han, XO, Kitty made history as Netflix’s first TV spin-off of an original film. This season, fans got even deeper love triangles, major queer storylines, and some truly iconic fashion moments. One of the biggest highlights? The sapphic romance between Yuri (Gia Kim) and Juliana (Regan Aliyah), alongside Kitty’s journey of self-discovery as she embraces her bisexuality.

    Caitlin McDaniel sat down with the cast to break it all down:
    • Gia Kim & Regan Aliyah on Yuri and Juliana’s fan-favorite love story, filming at a real gay club in Korea, and the show’s standout fashion.
    • Anna Cathcart & Anthony Keyvan on Kitty’s evolving identity, Q’s confidence as an out-and-proud queer character, and their real-life bestie bond.
    • Minyeong Choi & Sang Heon Lee on their characters’ intense friendship, Season 2’s biggest conflicts, and that dramatic airport scene.
    If you’ve already binged Season 2, this is the perfect chance to relive the drama with the cast. And if you haven’t? What are you waiting for?

  • Emilia Pérez: A Bold Story Amid Controversy

    Emilia Pérez: A Bold Story Amid Controversy
    Feb 26 2025
    Emilia Pérez is Netflix's bold new film that made waves with its powerful narrative, stunning performances, and… well, some serious controversy. Directed by Jacques Audiard, Emilia Pérez tells the story of a Mexican cartel leader’s journey of transformation, tackling themes of identity, love, and redemption.

    While the film has been praised for its ambition and unique storytelling, it has also faced controversy due to resurfaced social media posts from its star, Karla Sofía Gascón, containing racist and Islamophobic remarks. Netflix responded by distancing itself from Gascón, pulling her from promotional efforts. The film has also been criticized for its portrayal of Mexican culture and the transgender experience, with some arguing it leans on problematic stereotypes. Despite this, Emilia Pérez leads the Oscars with 13 nominations, making it the most-nominated film of the year.

    Caitlynn McDaniel sat down with the cast to discuss their experiences and creative journeys:
    • Zoe Saldaña on portraying Rita, a lawyer entangled in emotional complexities.
    • Selena Gomez on finding vulnerability and strength in her role as Jesse.
    • Adriana Paz on the power of tenderness and love through her character, Epifanía.
    • Karla Sofía Gascón on the transformative narrative of Emilia and celebrating LGBTQ+ love.
    Our interviews focus on the film’s themes, performances, and the impact the cast hopes it will have. Did you see it? What did you think? Let us know!
