Netflix’s ridiculous holiday rom-com ‘Hot Frosty’ even has the gays all hot & bothered

Hot Frosty earning over 16 million views in its first week, becoming the #1 most-watched movie on Netflix.‘Tis the season to be horny, we guess!If you’re not one of the 16 million who have already watched it, then all you need to know is that Hot Frosty follows a familiar holiday movie template set forth by Lifetime & The Hallmark Channel:Subscribe to our newsletter for your front-row seat to all things entertainment with a sprinkle of everything else queer.In a quaint, snowy town with an outsized love for Christmastime, a lonely woman (in this case played by Lacey Chabert, of Mean Girls “so fetch!” fame) struggles to get into the yuletide spirit—that is, until she meets a handsome man (Schitt’s Creek‘s Dustin Milligan), equal parts rugged and charming, who gives her a new lease on life.Oh wait, and did we mention that this mystery hottie is actually a snowman come to life???Yup, the film is a romance between Chabert’s Kathy and a jacked man made of snow, who mysteriously becomes an equally jacked human after she unknowingly places a magical scarf around his neck. It’s a logical leap so bonkers you sort of have to applaud it!To be honest, so many of these made-for-TV holiday movies basically exist in their own fantasy world anyway, so why not take it a step further? Hot Frosty knows what the people want—and what they want is a beautiful buff himbo they can build into the man of their dreams.Jonathan Bennett celebrated ‘Mean Girls’ Day by revealing the hotties competing on ‘Finding Mr.

tv Books film Entertainment Netflix Just how gay is Netflix’s ‘Ripley’? Andrew Scott says the series’ queerness isn’t so black-and-white
The Talented Mr. Ripley—Patricia Highsmith’s 1955 crime novel about fictional conman Tom Ripley—our first question was: “Oh this is about to be so gay, isn’t it?”And now that we’ve had a chance to see Ripley, writer-director Steven Zaillian’s gorgeous series that hits Netflix on April 4, we’re pleased to report out prediction was right! Though not at all in the way we had expected.Subscribe to our newsletter for your front-row seat to all things entertainment with a sprinkle of everything else queer.First thing’s first: Tom Ripley is not “gay.” At least, not according to Highsmith herself, who once confusingly asserted that Ripley “appreciates good looks in other men” but couldn’t possibly be gay because he’s married to a woman in her later books and even “makes it in bed with his wife.”And while Scott might not completely agree with Highsmith’s assessment of her most famous or, rather, infamous character, he’s careful to acknowledge that, when it comes to Ripley’s much-debated queerness, things (ironically) aren’t so black-and-white.“One of the big things about [Ripley’s] sexuality,” Scott shares with Queerty, “was that I felt quite strongly that I didn’t want to overly diagnose—for want of a better word—his sexuality, or even his nationality, or his age, or his upbringing.” Much like Highsmith’s first novel, the series tiptoes right up to the line of Ripley’s queerness, though it’s a line that only becomes blurrier the closer you get.
