Moby Boards Cannes-Bound Queer Animated Comedy Jim Queen

Moby and Lindsay Hicks’s Little Walnut are executive producers on Nicolas Athane and Marco Nguyen’s animated feature Jim Queen, which world premieres at Cannes. Produced by Bobbypills, the queer satire follows a gay influencer whose life unravels when a virus turns Paris’s gay men straight, prompting him to seek a rumored cure with a twink in the Marais. Global Constellation handles worldwide sales. A teaser clip drew 1.6 million views in 48 hours, and the project is touted by its backers as smart, funny, and with breakout potential.

Kinks' Lola fuels clash as Moby calls it transphobic

Moby said he could no longer listen to the Kinks’ 1970 hit Lola after finding its lyrics “gross and transphobic.” Dave Davies responded on X defending the song, arguing it isn’t transphobic and highlighting LGBTQ history connected to Lola, including a letter from Jayne County praising the track. The exchange touches on Lola’s gender-bending themes and the broader context of its era.

Kinks Fire Back at Moby Over Lola Controversy

After Moby labeled Lola transphobic and ‘unevolved,’ Dave Davies blasted the guitarist on Twitter and detailed a phone chat with Ray Davies in which Ray allegedly asked, ‘Who the fuck is Moby?’ Davies says he doesn’t enjoy criticizing others but dislikes Moby’s take, notes Lola’s enduring significance, and cites Jayne County’s 2020 essay defending the song. The brothers are meanwhile talking about low‑key live shows and a Kinks art project, with no reunion planned for now.

Dave Davies Fires Back After Moby Calls Lola Transphobic

Moby labeled The Kinks’ Lola as “gross and transphobic” in The Guardian’s Honest Playlist, prompting Dave Davies to respond on X that he’s “highly insulted.” The piece also highlights the long-running debate over Lola’s subject—trans woman or cross-dresser—and Ray Davies’s view that the song’s gender isn’t the point, with Jayne County praising Lola as a barrier-breaking track for LGBTQ visibility.
