What's On Tonight (Saturday): Bad feminist

Surviving the Silence: The Roxane Gay Story

Sister sister! Here's what's on television for tonight, Saturday, September 5!

Our Top Pick tonight is Surviving the Silence: The Roxane Gay Story (Lifetime, 8 p.m.). Author Roxane Gay's memoir Hunger gets Lifetime movie treatment. Gay is one of my favorite writers. Her Black Panther: World of Wakanda was wonderful and I still regularly revisit Bad Feminist essays. Her Tyler Perry essay is exceptional.

Elsewhere, Tamera Mowry loves a Mystery, balls are foot'd, Camp Rock gets vertical, Scavengers Reign in linear, and Practical Magic goes to Dinner.
