Few things have brought as much unabashed joy to the world in 2018 than the Netflix reboot of the early-aughts makeover series, Queer Eye. The show, originally on Bravo, has upped the ante on feel-goodery at its streaming home, and a lot of that is thanks to grooming expert Jonathan Van Ness. The sunbeam incarnate has the sort of positive attitude and genuine love for people that’s downright infectious, which made gabbing about all things Game of Thrones with Jonathan in the Fangirling Khaleesi Korner all the more hilarious.
If you didn’t know, Jonathan is ALSO a huge fan of Thrones, and even hosts his own recap show, Gay of Thrones, on Funny or Die (you may, ahem, be familiar with it?). So we headed out to Westeros to talk incest, Sansa’s happiness, and more!
Like what you saw there? Interested in more discussions with, by, and about women, where everyone—yes, everyone (and yes, even you!)—is invited to nerd out about science and culture, talk about what matters, learn new things, nerd out over history, meet awesome ladies, and feel all your myriad feelings from a decidedly different point of view? Well let me go out on a limb and say that Fangirling is for you! And this season, we’ve got a heaping helping of everything you could want, every Wednesday on Alpha.
Besides, you’re not going to want to miss our fabulous guests, like Phoebe Robinson talking Game of Thrones in the Khaleesi Korner, Blue Planet II producer Orla Doherty, a spotlight on artist Jen Bartel, or our regular segments like “Worst Advice,” “Mansplain It to Me,” and “Real Fake Spoilers”!
So, really, you have no excuse. And why would you want to miss this? Get yourself in on the guilt-free fangirlsplosion with the hashtag #FangirlingIsBack and sign up for a free month of Alpha with the code ‘fangirling’! Because who says being smart and having a lot of feelings are mutually exclusive?
