In the 1980s, there were only 63 Black films by, for, or about Black Americans. But in the 1990s, that number quadrupled, with 220 Black films making their way to cinema screens nationwide.

It's an all-Drag Race episode! Well, kinda. First, we have to talk about the Chrisleys, but then? Let's get into the season four finale of RuPaul's Drag Race UK, which had a bit of a lackluster season, despite crowning a wonderful queen. Then it's onto the next international all stars season, Canada's Drag Race vs. The World. (Or is it just Canada vs. The World? Unclear.) An eclectic but entertaining group of queens from RuPaul's Drag Race, UK, Down Under, and Canada's Drag Race gather in the Great White North (alongside Prime Minister Justin Trudeau!) in the newest Olympics of Drag smackdown, and I'm actually enjoying it so far. To wrap things up with my Countdown to Christmas recommendation, I'm talking about the formation of the Hallmark Cinematic Universe and its implications for the Christmas canon moving forward.
