What's On Tonight (Saturday): Good luck, and don't fuck the renovations up

Trixie Motel: Drag Me Home

Fore! Here's what's on television for tonight, Saturday, June 22!

Our Top Pick tonight is Trixie Motel: Drag Me Home (Max, 3 a.m.). The show's first season followed Trixie and the creation of her motel. The new season follows the famous drag queen and her partner, David Silver (unrelated to 90210-verse, FWIW... I checked), as they build their dream home. Well, renovate a home.

Elsewhere, Stevie Van Zandt gets documentary treatment, Todd Haynes picks Two, Netflix anime goes for a birdie, Superman and Naruto are captured, Orphan be bad, there's Two Scoops in the boot, and Blackbeard is a Legend.

(All times are Eastern. All listings are new unless otherwise stated. For more listings, visit The Futon Critic or Zap2it.)
