AT THE MOVIES (Wed Dec 26, ABC-10pm)
Margaret Pomeranz is arguably the more trust-worthy of the two co-hosts of THE MOVIE SHOW/AT THE MOVIES for twenty years now (nothing against David Stratton- I just trust her to appreciate BLOODSUCKING PHAROAHS IN PITTSBURGH on a more down-to-Earth level than him!), and plenty of my dyke friends want to invite the alarmingly-large-earring-wearing host over for… dinner and a movie.
