Last year, I wrote about how Netflix has found a niche in the college sports documentary corner of the documentary game, churning out the excellent Cheer and the Last Chance U series (along with the less popular, but still compelling, QB1). Which, for someone like me who adores a good college sports documentary, has been […]
Finales are notoriously difficult to execute successfully when a show is just a simple procedural drama or episodic sitcom. That degree of difficulty grows exponentially when the series has a rabid fan base and has presented a quasi-puzzle box tale throughout its run (and if the show is all of that, plus years of waiting […]
What a tour de force performance from Elizabeth Olsen in “Previously On,” the WandaVision that attempts to fill in all the gaps (and boy, were there a ton of gaps) in Wanda’s MCU history. But Wanda wasn’t the only character getting some backstory in the penultimate episode of the series. We also learned a bit […]
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 […]
