Happy Anita Bryant Gets Pied in Her Nasty Homophobic Face Day to all who celebrate!

Everybody say thank you to Thomas Lawrence Higgins (RIP).

Anita Bryant, a horrible person in a twee outfit seated in front of several microphones, holds her hands out after being pied in the face. She is covered in banana cream pie, which is quite an improvement to her looks.

We learned from @milliedechirico.bsky.social's Professional Sweetheart newsletter that she's programming Pam Grier's (!) SOUL FLIX, so it's kinda like the TCM Underground is back as a Roku/Plex Channel. Congrats Millie!

I started with BABY BOOM. I have never wanted kids, but this adorable toddler being thrown around like a sack of potatoes is throwing my maternal instincts into overdrive.

I miss my life when I didn’t feel like I was dying every second of every day (don’t mind me, I’m just bitching about medication side effects).

I really enjoy watching the making-of featurettes after the episodes too, because he is so thoughtful and insightful in discussing Robbie and how he relates to the other characters. He seems like he would be a dream to interview.

Tom Pelphrey, man. I’ve been a fan of his for a long time, and he is so damn good on TASK.
