Things We Saw Today: Drunk History Gives Us the Stonewall Lesson We Deserve

First of all, drunk Crissle West needs to be my best friend. Secondly, check out Drunk History‘s take on the Stonewall riots, which West not only tells entertainingly, but also stars trans actors in trans roles. Namely, Alexandra Grey as Marsha P. Johnson and Trace Lysette as Sylvia Rivera, both of whom feature prominently on Transparent this season. (via Collider)

• It’s all about Mulan these days! Both Disney and Sony are searching for Asian-American directors for their rival Mulan films. (via The Hollywood Reporter)

So…is this really what the election results would look like if only men voted? Because…yowza.

• Check out this awesome interview with Felicity Jones over at The Hollywood Reporter, where she talks about Rogue One‘s reshoots, and working with the late Anton Yelchin.
