It’s a Sin, the sensational limited series from Russell T. Davies (the acclaimed showrunner behind the original Queer as Folk and the first four seasons of the modern Doctor Who, among others), chronicles a decade in the lives of several friends (most of whom are gay men – although there is one straight woman in […]
“Breaking the Fourth Wall” was a game-changer episode of WandaVision across a number of fronts. On the story side of the equation, we received confirmation as to just who nosy neighbor Agnes really is (confirming the suspicions of just about everyone – including me). On the theme-side of things, well, after spending 6.5 episodes in […]
Well, it certainly appears that things are quickly spiraling out of control – both for our titular couple and for the SWORD team led by the morally ambiguous Tyler Hayward, which means we’re heading into the final stretch of WandaVision. With Vision unable to truly break free of the hold Wanda has on Westview and […]
The late US Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg was beloved for many reasons – her stellar legal acumen that helped bring about greater constitutional protections for gender equality (as immortalized in the film On the Basis of Sex), her often scathing (yet exquisitely worded) dissents that laid the groundwork for future courts should they […]
Lots to discuss in this week’s jam-packed episode of WandaVision – the first one that really felt like an episode of the show Marvel likely wanted to make and not a piece of exposition to get us ready for the real story to begin. We have Vision starting to see through the ever widening cracks […]
Up until it reached its (frankly, inevitable) ending, I absolutely loved The World to Come. It’s an utterly gorgeous film, shot with a keen eye by Mona Fastvold, and containing some remarkably still and nuanced performances. But then the ending comes and well, let’s just say that, as a queer woman, I could have told […]
It’s a far trickier thing than one might assume to adapt a stage play to film. After all, a play is written to be performed in the intimate medium of the theatre, with an audience sitting mere feet from the performers and the actors feeding off the energy through the immediate feedback provided by their […]
Sound of Metal, a film from Darius Marder (co-written with Abraham Marder) is a film that knows what story it wants to tell and then sets out to tell it. Now, that might seem like an odd description of a film, but think about it for a moment. How often do you find yourself watching […]
So, four episodes into WandaVision and we have what appears to be the answer as to who or what is manipulating Westview, New Jersey: Wanda. Yup, it looks like there’s no hidden witches or devils, just an extremely powerful mutant who can manipulate reality and potentially destroy the world. Is it a bit disappointing that […]
On the night of February 25, 1964, Muhammad Ali (then known as Cassius Clay), Malcolm X, singer Sam Cooke, and football super star Jim Brown had dinner together in a hotel in Miami. What they discussed together that night has been lost to time. But, within the span of a year, Cooke and Malcolm X […]
