But those people die off like dinosaurs.” Evans said in an interview with Reuters.ĮVIL EMPEROR – Disney and Pixar’s “Lightyear” is a sci-fi action adventure and the definitive origin story of Buzz Lightyear (voice of Chris Evans), the hero who inspired the toy. There’s always going to be people who are afraid and unaware and trying to hold on to what was before. “The real truth is those people are idiots. When the star of the movie, Chris Evans, who is replacing the long-time voice of Buzz Lightyear Tim Allen, was asked about the backlash to the scene, he said that anyone who has a problem with the same-sex kiss is an “idiot” who will “die off like the dinosaurs.” Directed by Angus MacLane (co-director “Finding Dory”) and produced by Galyn Susman (“Toy Story That Time Forgot”), the sci-fi action-adventure releases on June 17, 2022.
A hidden grab bag of gizmos in a cute kitty package, Sox is Buzz’s go-to friend and sidekick. But Buzz can’t do it alone-he shares space with a dutiful robot companion cat called Sox (voice of Peter Sohn). You can watch both seasons of Slo Pitch on AMC+ or IFC right this very second! Bare minimum, you’ll get the giggles and be prepped for Prime Video’s upcoming A League of Their Own remake, which better try its dangdest to be as gay as this show.HERO’S BEST FRIEND - Disney and Pixar’s “Lightyear” is an all-new, original feature film that presents the definitive origin story of Buzz Lightyear (voice of Chris Evans)-the hero who inspired the toy-following the legendary Space Ranger on an intergalactic adventure.
The creative team is made up of all women and non-binary folks, the cast is at least half BIPOC, and 70% of the crew are LGBTQ+! And that’s Pride, baby! I laughed out loud at least once every episode.
Slo Pitch is full of heart and it’s also legitimately hilarious.
Plus none of the jokes feel SNL-style dated, which is often the case with webby shows.
With so many queer characters on Big TV these days, it’s nearly impossible for me to keep up with all the web series that drop, and they’re often a hard sell to Autostraddle readers who have come to expect much bigger budgets for their on-screen faves - but Slo Pitch is excellent quality for a shorter form series and also it reminded me of the days I used to devour Carmilla as soon as new episodes aired because it’s an unmatachable feeling watching stories that were made specifically for us by people like us. And then there’s the fact that they actually get kinda good and make a run for the championship. Joanne loves Sasha so much, but she’s so bad at softball that Joanne keeps asking other players to kick her off the team. Joanne can’t even stand to be in the same bar as the Blue Gays! Straight Zari tries to set up kooky Boris with one of her friends, and it turns into an absolute disaster. There is no shortage of drama in this gay league, obviously! Ann, for example, is dating two different players from the rival Toronto Blue Gays.
Joanne is joined by her extremely un-athletic fiancée, Sasha (Chelsea Muirhead), who works as a high powered lawyer and only joined the team to spend time with her girl Mel (Amanda Cordner), a former pro who can’t talk about why she got kicked out of her league (fuckin’ umps, man) Boris (Karen Knox), who hails from some imaginary country and makes her living as an undocumented worker engaging in corporate espionage, and who is also looking for a wife Zari, the token straight player who keeps apologizing for everything Ann, who lives in Joanne and Sasha’s basement and gets to use the wifi as long as she stays on the team and so many more amazing weirdos! Actually, it’s a slow pitch beer league, which is maybe a specifically Canadian thing, I don’t know, but I love it. The series follows Joanne (Kirsten Rasmussen), the good natured and wildly competitive lesbian softball coach, and her ragtag team, The Brovaries, as they get their asses handed to them nearly every game of the season in their gay softball league. The only thing I love more than Bad News Bears-y sports stories is LGBTQ humans - so it is, frankly, shocking that I have just found out about Slo Pitch, the mockumentary softball web series that debuted on OUTtvgo in Canada two entire years ago and has just landed on AMC+ and IFC.
