filmmaker Kelly Reichardt (“Showing Up,” “First Cow”). This one will take a while, as it's not set to start shooting until at least early 2024. But the creators are already determined that it will be as adult and NC-17-rated as possible, and that' s a welcome bit of news for filmgoers who're tired of timid arthouse films. More nudity now!

'Somebody Somewhere' refuses to go nowhere

Todd Haynes & Joaquin Phoenix Aim for NC-17

Filmmaker Todd Haynes is no stranger to retro queer romance. His Cate Blanchettstarring “Carol” is already considered a classic of LGBTQ+ cinema, and “Far From Heaven” before that perfectly evoked the Douglas Sirk 1950s. And he recently announced an untitled project in the works with actor Joaquin Phoenix that will be a gay love story set in 1930s Los Angeles — an era Haynes explored in his HBO adaptation of “Mildred Pierce.” The project has a script in development from Phoenix, Haynes and acclaimed novelistscreenwriter Jon Raymond, a consistent collaborator with indie

It's one of the best shows on TV right now, but it's still flying below the radar with most people. And so the good TV news in the middle of the current writer's strike is that HBO' s “Somebody Somewhere,” created by Hannah Bos and Paul Thureen, is getting a third season. Inspired by comedian and singer Bridget Everett's life, the small-town-Kansas-set series mines gentle, intelligent comedy from its unassuming setting. It's also very, very queer with series regulars Jeff Hiller, Tim Bagley and transgender comedian Murray Hill rounding out the ensemble and telling very specific rural LGBTQ+ stories. The episode run of the first two seasons have been short and sweet, making for a quick binge you'll want to return to again, and it' s guaranteed to whet your appetite for the next batch, already in production.

'The Wiz' revival gets a cast… almost A fact of life that never goes away is that anything related to “The Wizard of Oz” is automatically gay. We didn't invent this rule; it's just a rule that will always be a rule. So here here comes “The Wiz,” talk show MVP Amber Ruffin, and cool new cast featuring “A Strange Loop” star Kyle Ramar Freeman as the always queer-coded Cowardly Lion, Phillip Johnson Richardson from the Apple+ series “Sharper” as the Tin Man and former “Voice” contestant Avery Wilson as Scarecrow. As for Dorothy… no word yet. But we expect to be wowed by whoever plans to step into shoes created by original Broadway star Stephanie Mills. Pre-Broadway tour gets rolling this fall.

The Roaring Queer 20s lived at 'Eldorado'

For Pride Month, Netflix delivers some queer history you might not have known about. A century ago, the Berlin night club Eldorado was a hub of the German city's queer life, and people from across the LGBTQ+ spectrum gathered there returning to Broadway in a new revival. The Tony Awardwinning all-Black iteration of “The Wizard of Oz” has given generations of theater kids an audition song (“Home”) to keep in their back pocket, and an endearing movie version with its own linoleum company merch tie-in (Google it). The new stage version will have fresh book material written by late night alongside celebrities of the era like Marlene Dietrich and Charlie Chaplin. But as Adolf Hitler rose to power, oppression crept back in and the club became an official target, closed by the Nazis in 1932. In the decade to come the city's queer community was persecuted, imprisoned, and killed. A documentary covering the club and the era called “Eldorado” drops June 28 on the streaming service, combining interviews, archival footage, and reenactments of historical incidents. When you're finished partying at the Pride parade, settle in and learn a little bit more about the troubled road earlier generations traveled. Learn from the past so it doesn't happen again.

By Andreus Quinones

Dear Andreus,

My boyfriend and my best friend want to go into business together. They both have been in the restaurant industry for a long time and are talking about doing a joint venture on some type of food venue. I definitely want both of them to be successful, but I don't want them doing it together. My best friend has a huge crush on my boyfriend. He has even told me indirectly in so many ways. I am afraid that them working together could turn into something else. At the same time, I don't want my boyfriend to feel like I am holding him back from his dreams, if I say I don't agree. What do I do?

Sincerely,

Alvaro S.

Dear Alvaro,

Your boyfriend and your best friend are adults. In this scenario, you must allow them to make decisions for themselves. Being afraid that something could happen and trying to block them from doing business together, does not stop anything from happening if they both want it to. Here is where you have to ask yourself how much you trust them both. If you are unsure about that, then what kind of relationship do you have with your best friend and with your boyfriend. Everything happens for a reason; you just must decide how you respond when it does or does not happen. Good luck!

Dear Andreus,

I am overweight, and it is a struggle I have had for most of my life. My boyfriend's mother calls me fat quite often, just in general conversation. She is always making jokes about my weight or saying this like – “I would invite you guys over for dinner, but you look like you don't need any food.” I have told my boyfriend that it is hurtful, but he just says that she doesn't mean anything or that she is just joking. I want to say something to her, but I don't want to upset my boyfriend. I really can't take much more. What would you do?

Sincerely, Christian

P.

Dear Christian,

Well, if it were me, I would say something. It is not alright for anyone to body shame or make jokes. However, it comes out, it is hurtful. This may be just the way she is, but it is not okay. If you have told your boyfriend, and he is not addressing the situation, then maybe you have to. Respectfully confront her, and just tell her that it is hurtful, and you prefer that she not reference your weight anymore. It is perfectly okay to speak up for yourself whenever you feel hurt, shamed, or disrespected. That's just my take on it. I hope this helps you gain some perspective, and I hope that she stops, and you all can move forward.
