Rich Juzwiak · 09/26/14 12:58PMThe clip above is from Glena, a documentary about a single mother in her mid-30's whose goal is to be a professional MMA fighter. The movie, which premiered on Showtime last night, explored what it means to follow one's dream while negotiating parental responsibility. Is Glena "Heartless" Avila selfish for undergoing the virtually nonstop training necessary to fight on a professional level, as it cuts into her time with her kids, or would sharing the benefits of such a career ultimately make it all worth it? How much of yourself do you give up for your kids, and is it really in their best interest to do so? Without firm answers, these are the questions that the movie probed.

How To Get Away With Murder Creator: Get Used to Two Men Kissing
Rich Juzwiak · 09/26/14 09:46AMOut TV writer/producer Peter Nowalk is using the gay character in the show he created, How To Get Away With Murder, to push his gay agenda. And that is a wonderful thing since equality is his agenda. Last night's premiere featured a brief scene in which Connor (played by Jack Falahee) hooks up with an IT guy to obtain a piece of evidence. The sex scene featured making out and Connor telling the dude to, "Turn over," so that he could kiss his way down to the IT guy's ass. Pretty racy for network.
