Clance is heartbreaking! She seriously believes she’s never going to see Max again. How old was she when her parents were killed for talking back to white people or whatever?

She’s not exactly convinced her sweet husband is going to make it back to her either. It’s just her, Cheryl, Edgar, Toni, and those annoying kids now.

Toni Chapman vs Ana Blair

Toni Chapman: Owner of the finest salon in Rockford and a pillar to the black community. She knows the struggles that life throws and hurls your way and is determined to help her daughter, Maxine, avoid them as much as she can and keep her safe. But Max has dreams and convictions of her own and sometimes the meaning of safe isn't so clear.

Ana Blair: Catcher for the Peaches and often seen as base coach in different games, Ana is upfront about her role in the team. She speaks up about wanting to prove herself to the team when Carson (the starting catcher) is designed as coach in the absence of Dove Porter.

I've only seen myself reflected like really reflected visually a handful on tv. One of them is bertie and while we didn't get more I am quite grateful.

“We haven’t seen a lot of stories like Bertie’s before,” Robinson told LGBTQ Nation. “Someone who is a person of color and non-binary, we don’t see those stories in history often. History has been whitewashed and straightwashed but these characters existed. These people existed. I felt so honored to be a part of telling these stories and telling a story similar to mine for a person like Bertie.”

i love how literally everyone in Lockwood & Co call Lockwood by his last name or his first name + last name but then there's Flo and Kipps, calling him Locky and Tony with a bit of fondness and a lot of remonstration in their tone like to them he's still a little boy, a younger sibling even, with rather splendid dreams who they just can't not care about.

A lot of major moments to talk about this year. Like my birth. I was born out of the Macarena Summer.

In 1996, the Bayside Boys remix of Los del Rio's Macarena became a cultural phenomenon as well as an incredibly popular song (I'm clarifying it's a remix, because the non-Bayside Boys version also reached the Hot 100 at number 98). The track's record for longevity in the Hot 100 would only be broken almost two decades later by Adele.

Speaking of record-breaking songs, One Sweet Day, the duet between Mariah Carey and Boyz II Men, is a towering R&B number. At 16 weeks, the song held the record for most weeks at the number one spot until Lil Nas X came out with Old Town Road in 2019.

One Sweet Day is a song about grief, specifically the track was inspired by the ongoing AIDS epidemic. It's not the only song on this poll related to this issue. Bone Thugs-n-Harmony wrote Tha Crossroads to honor Eazy-E, one of the establishing figures behind the West Coast rap scene who passed away from AIDS-induced pneumonia in 1995 when he was just 30-years-old.

Sadly, the stretch between 1995 and 1996 would be marked by several losses among legends in rap and hip-hop. In 1996, The Notorious B.I.G. and Tupac Shakur would be murdered with only a few months between their deaths. These losses will be relevant in a direct manner when we get to the next poll, but it's not an exaggeration to say that the music world was shaken by their deaths. There were those who were quick to make bad-faith arguments blaming the violent subject matter of the music itself. And while the coast-based rivalries did get extremely intense, I think this is a reductive conclusion to come to. To many, however, this moment in music history felt like a nation-wide wake up call.

As rap became more mainstream and started to absorb more of pop music influences into its sound, the genre was bound to change. We've already seen this with the increasing number of R&B fusions and rap verses on pop songs. But some mark this year as another turning point for the genre, as the gangster rap era starts to fade in the mainstream music scene. Even outside of rap, after this point pop music starts to feel a lot sunnier, for lack of a better term. Whether this is due to coping with these recent tragedies, a larger demographic of younger music listeners dictating the majority taste, people gearing up for the new millennium, the record industry reaching record numbers in profits, or genuine positivity and optimism (think that might have been still a thing lol), the times are certainly about to change.

Ruby Gillman, Teenage Kraken Trailer

Ruby Gillman is desperate to fit in at Oceanside High. She tutors her crush in math, but he doesn’t seem interested in her otherwise, and she can’t hang out with the cool kids at the beach because her mom forbade her from ever getting in the water. One day, though, Ruby breaks her mom’s rule and discovers that she is a descendant of warrior Kraken queens and is destined to inherit the throne from her grandmother, the Warrior Queen of the Seven Seas. For eons Krakens protect the oceans from the power-hungry Mermaids. To make matters worse, Chelsea, the new popular girl at Oceanside High, is a mermaid. “Ruby will ultimately need to embrace who she is and go big to protect those she loves most.” (Universal Pictures)

DreamWorks Animation’s Ruby Gillman, Teenage Kraken stars Lana Condor (Ruby Gillman), Jaboukie Young-White, Toni Collette, Jane Fonda, Annie Murphy, Colman Domingo, Sam Richardson, and Blue Chapman. Kirk DeMicco directs.

Ruby Gillman, Teenage Kraken hits theaters in Summer 2023.
