Host Manika teams up with culture critic Princess Weekes to dissect Prime Video’s My Lady Jane—what works in the romance, what fails in the history, and why the cancellation stings.

Host Manika sits down with returning guest Alta (Alta’s Oyster) for a full, spoiler-heavy review of 40 Acres (2025)—the post-apocalyptic thriller about a Black and Indigenous family protecting their farmland after a fungal pandemic. We cover Danielle Deadwyler’s commanding lead, the film’s take on isolation vs. community, firearm pragmatism, and why land—not ammo—is the scarce currency here. We also weigh the script’s weaknesses (underwritten family members, a flat foil) and why the movie still stands apart from typical doomsday fare.

In Media Mania, we unpack the Jimmy Kimmel suspension following commentary on Charlie Kirk’s shooting and what that signals for late-night, media pressure, and speech norms headed into 2026. We close with a Watch List: October Scaries picks, Weapons, The Long Walk, Highest to Lowest, The Man in My Basement, and more.

Manika is back with pop culture critic and first-time guest Bobbi (@theafternoonspecial) for a deep dive into Interview With The Vampire and what happens when monsters fall in love under the weight of race, queerness, and eternal hunger.

They unpack how AMC’s Interview With The Vampire reimagines Anne Rice’s gothic classic, exploring the toxic, compelling bond between Louis and Lestat while asking what it costs to love—and be loved—forever. Manika and Bobbi break down why making Louis Black changes everything, forcing audiences to confront race, power, and historical trauma within a genre obsessed with beauty and immortality.

They also explore why Claudia is the true heart of the series, how her story hits harder than any vampire media you’ve seen, and why Interview With The Vampire earns its place as a rare reboot that justifies its existence.

The conversation expands into vampire media at large—from Twilight to True Blood—asking why we’re drawn to monsters that reflect our desires, loneliness, and the fear of losing ourselves. Manika and Bobbi also touch on the Everybody Hates Chris animated revival, debating what makes a reboot worth it and who these nostalgia projects are truly for.

Vampires, race, queerness, and the cost of living forever—this is your guide to Interview With The Vampire, why it’s the vampire show you can’t stop thinking about, and what it reveals about who we really are.

Manika is back with film and TV reporter Kimberly (https://www.tiktok.com/@kimberly_tsitsi) for a deep dive into doppelgängers, identity, and the monsters we create to survive late capitalism.

They unpack how shows like Severance and films like Mickey 17 and Sinners explore fractured selves, work-life splits, and the fear of losing yourself in a system that demands constant performance. Manika and Kimberly discuss Monster Theory and how doppelgängers in media reflect our anxieties around authenticity, capitalism, and the curated online personas we build to survive.

They also dig into the controversy around Shannon Sharpe, the allegations against him, and how public figures navigate accountability and power. The conversation expands into Star Wars, John Boyega’s honest reflections on racism in fandom spaces, and why Black actors often face backlash in large franchises, forcing us to question who truly feels entitled to stories in these universes.

The episode also touches on the power of actor-director collaborations, how Michael B. Jordan’s performance in Sinners showcases his range, and why Ryan Coogler’s nuanced approach to the doppelgänger trope sets Sinners apart. Manika and Kimberly explore how Sinners uses vampires and cultural appropriation to interrogate legacy, identity, and community, breaking down the film’s final act and what it says about immortality versus legacy.

Doppelgängers, vampires, and fractured selves—this is your guide to the monsters of modern media, and what they reveal about who we really are.

Manika is back with Lydia (@landoflydia) for part two of their deep dive into HBO’s Industry, covering the chaos of seasons 2 and 3.

They unpack Harper’s risky power plays, Eric’s growing resentment, and the toxic mess of Pierpoint’s sales floor. Yasmin’s privilege unravels under the weight of scandal, Robert spirals into self-sabotage, and Gus proves that quiet ambition might be the smartest move of all.

Season 3 brings greenwashing, betrayal, and Kit Harington as billionaire tech bro Henry Muck. Manika and Lydia break down the ESG pivot, Harper’s latest scheme, and Yasmin’s doomed engagement—with sharp commentary and zero tolerance for mediocrity.

Friendships burn, careers collapse, and the girls are still choosing chaos. Welcome back to Industry.

In this episode, Manika is joined by Lydia (@landoflydia), a whip-smart TikTok creator and pop culture observer, for the first of a two-part conversation all about HBO’s high-stakes financial drama Industry. The episode opens with a lively round of Media Mania, where Manika and Lydia dive into timely entertainment stories, including the controversy surrounding HBO’s upcoming Harry Potter series. They break down the problematic implications of supporting JK Rowling’s work in 2025, especially in light of escalating anti-trans sentiment in the UK and US. Both express frustration at the entertainment industry’s unwillingness to hold creators accountable, and highlight how fandom often prioritizes nostalgia over human rights.

From there, the two shift gears to celebrate Sinners, Ryan Coogler’s genre-bending new musical, which they agree is already a strong Oscar contender. They praise its powerful storytelling, stunning vocals, and the joy of seeing a Black-led original IP break box office expectations—despite negative media framing. The conversation also veers into Marvel fatigue, the wasted potential of Blade, and the systemic obstacles still plaguing directors like Nia DaCosta and actors like Mahershala Ali.

Finally, they dig into Industry—the show’s themes, characters, and cutthroat environment. Manika recalls being drawn in by the promise of a “Succession-like” drama with a Black woman lead, while Lydia shares how the show piqued her curiosity after buzz around Interview with the Vampire. The two discuss the brutal demands of Pierpoint & Co., particularly the tragic death of Hari in episode one, and how that moment sets the tone for the show’s ruthless world.

They break down season one through the lens of its four key grads—Harper, Yasmin, Robert, and Gus—exploring their backgrounds, ambitions, and moral compromises. They praise Gus’s integrity, dissect Harper’s calculated ruthlessness, and debate whether Yasmin’s privilege shields or isolates her. A strong undercurrent of class and identity shapes the conversation, with both hosts reflecting on how different upbringings influence ambition in a world like Pierpoint.

The episode ends with a powerful discussion of Harper’s pivotal betrayal at the end of season one—when she chooses ambition over allegiance, takes down Daria, and secures her place beside Eric. Lydia and Manika agree: these aren’t good people—but that’s what makes them so compelling to watch.

In this episode, Manika is joined by Maya (@bodegavanetta), a pop culture commentator and TikTok creator, for a cozy, spirited deep dive into the films of Nancy Meyers. The two kick things off reflecting on the golden age of tween girl movies and how the genre has all but disappeared. They reminisce about the joy and specificity of early 2000s hits like What a Girl Wants and Cadet Kelly, and mourn the loss of mid-budget coming-of-age stories that felt fun, earnest, and emotionally rich. Maya points out how today’s film landscape leans heavily into aesthetics and “prestige,” often at the expense of heartfelt storytelling. What used to be a shared cultural experience is now fragmented by streaming platforms and driven by algorithms instead of vibes.

The conversation naturally shifts to Nancy Meyers, a director whose work remains comforting, elegant, and emotionally layered. For both Manika and Maya, The Parent Trap was a formative film—one that shaped their ideas about family, womanhood, and storytelling. They discuss the film’s complex emotional core, the fantasy of divorced parents reuniting, and how Lindsay Lohan’s dual performance carries the movie with sincerity and charm. Meyers’ attention to detail, especially in emotional beats and set design, is praised throughout the episode.

From there, they move on to It’s Complicated, a rom-com that embraces the messiness of middle-aged relationships and gives us a rare portrait of post-divorce desire. Manika and Maya appreciate the film’s grounded portrayal of love and longing, noting how Meryl Streep’s character is allowed to be flawed, funny, and desirable—something still too rare for women on screen. They reflect on how the film resists tying things up neatly and instead celebrates the freedom of ambiguity.

Next up is The Holiday, another favorite for both. Maya highlights the significance of Jack Black being cast as a romantic lead and how that broke certain conventions around desirability in Hollywood. They talk about how The Holiday makes space for emotional vulnerability, friendship, and self-discovery, all while being set in two of the coziest cinematic homes of all time. The episode continues to explore how Meyers crafts stories that are aesthetically pleasing but never hollow—where the kitchens are iconic but so are the inner lives of her characters.

Throughout the episode, Manika and Maya keep returning to the importance of joy in storytelling. They talk about how movies like Meyers’ can be emotionally honest without being gritty, and why fun shouldn’t be considered frivolous. The episode closes with a heartfelt appreciation for the way Nancy Meyers writes characters—especially women—who are allowed to be fully themselves: stylish, chaotic, competent, and full of longing.

In this episode, host Manika is joined by TikTok favorite and pop culture commentator Galen for a sharp, hilarious deep dive into the glitter-soaked world of campy horror. But before the gory glam kicks off, the two detour through the chaos of celebrity space tourism, the X-Files reboot nobody asked for (but maybe kind of needed?), and why Katy Perry’s latest stunt has the internet divided—again.

Then it's all about the scream queens, high drama, and deliciously deranged plots that define camp horror at its best. Manika and Galen dissect the twisted brilliance of Death Becomes Her, She-Devil, and Serial Mom, celebrating iconic performances by Meryl Streep, Goldie Hawn, and Kathleen Turner, and unpacking what these films have to say about vanity, vengeance, and the absurd pressures of womanhood.

From Ernest’s flaccid undertaker era to Jessica Rabbit wigs, broken necks, and literal paint jobs, this is a laugh-out-loud conversation that blends film critique with fandom-level obsession. Along the way, they reflect on aging, immortality, and why being a walking corpse with good hair still beats going to space with Jeff Bezos.

It’s a wickedly fun, surprisingly deep episode full of hot takes, iconic quotes, and camp appreciation at its finest.

In this episode, host Manika is joined once again by pop culture commentator Naja (@nawjuhh) for the second half of their candid, no-holds-barred exploration of Ryan Murphy’s TV empire. But before diving in, they take a detour into the fandom-fueled chaos of Tumblr-era television, the fan theories that became canon, and the blurred lines between creators and online fanbases.

Together, they revisit the emotional rollercoaster that was Glee, unpacking its messy brilliance and maddening missed opportunities—especially when it came to characters like Mercedes and Sam. They discuss the show's flirtation with queer representation, its uneven treatment of Black characters, and how the writers often seemed to take cues from the fandom without fully committing to the stories they teased.

The conversation also traces Murphy’s signature style across his post-Glee work—from the stylish absurdity of Scream Queens to the prestige ambitions of Pose and American Crime Story. Manika and Naja dig into his tendency to reuse actors, the moral whiplash of his storytelling, and the way real-world controversies (including Emma Roberts' behavior and Angelica Ross’s exit) reflect larger issues on Murphy sets.

They also reflect on Pose's legacy, the offscreen drama that undercut its impact, and the industry's failure to sustain shows centered on trans and queer people of color. Finally, they tackle the internet’s appetite for reboot culture, why a Glee revival should never happen, and how formative shows like Glee and Riverdale capture a very specific kind of chaotic cultural lightning.

This is a sharp, funny, and deeply personal conversation about art, identity, fandom, and the media that shapes us—whether we love it, hate it, or keep rewatching it anyway.

In this episode, host Manika welcomes TikTok creator and pop culture commentator Naja (@nawjuhh) to kick off a deep-dive into the chaotic legacy of TV mastermind Ryan Murphy. But first, they open with Media Mania, covering AMC’s push to reinstate the 45-day theatrical window, Fatima Hassuna’s tragic death and the responsibility of film creators in times of conflict, and the internet’s uneasy reaction to the war-glorifying press tour for Warfare.

Manika and Naja also share their love for the communal moviegoing experience, their gripes with early streaming drops, and the cultural rot of press junkets built for stan Twitter rather than substance.

Then, the conversation turns to Ryan Murphy, the prolific (and polarizing) creator behind shows like Glee, Nip/Tuck, Pose, and American Horror Story. Manika and Naja revisit Glee as both cultural phenomenon and fever dream—from underwritten storylines and wasted potential (justice for Mercedes) to Rachel Berry’s unchecked ego and the show’s chaotic relationship with continuity. They also explore Murphy’s patterns as a writer—big on spectacle, thin on follow-through—and the industry dynamics that allowed his empire to flourish despite criticism.

Throughout, they reflect on the complicated grief around the deaths of multiple Glee cast members and the parasocial intensity that followed. It’s a sharp, candid, and emotionally grounded conversation about pop culture, memory, and how we hold space for media that shaped us—even when it doesn’t hold up.

In this episode, host Manika welcomes TikTok creator and media commentator Chelsea (@_chelseawelsey) to discuss Netflix’s body-swapping psychological thriller It’s What’s Inside. Before diving into the film, they kick things off with Media Mania, covering the upcoming Clueless reboot at Peacock, Ryan Gosling’s surprising lead role in a new Star Wars film, and the frustrations of streaming services canceling shows mid-story. Chelsea and Manika also trade thoughts on under-the-radar hits like Poker Face and One of Us is Lying, and the increasingly chaotic world of Hollywood reboots.

The conversation then shifts to It’s What’s Inside, where a group of estranged college friends reunite for a pre-wedding weekend that takes a dark turn when a former friend arrives with a machine that allows them to swap bodies. Manika and Chelsea unpack the film’s themes of insecurity, obsession, and suppressed resentment—particularly through the character of Shelby, whose desire to emulate influencer Nikki spirals into self-erasure. As the swaps grow more chaotic, secrets unravel, relationships implode, and a disturbing double death forces the group to confront what they’ve become.

Together, they explore how the film uses sci-fi to interrogate deeper issues like identity, intimacy, and the lies we tell to stay connected to people we should’ve outgrown. The episode offers a sharp, funny, and emotionally honest breakdown of one of Netflix’s most underrated recent releases.

Content warnings: discussion of toxic relationships, body autonomy, graphic death, and references to past media depictions of sexual assault and transphobia.

The duo kick things off with Media Mania, covering the current surge in video game adaptations—from Minecraft and Five Nights at Freddy’s to The Last of Us and Fallout. They debate what makes a successful adaptation, the risks of IP fatigue, and the evolving standards for storytelling in gaming cinema.

Then, the two dive deep into the Apple TV+ hit Bad Sisters, breaking down Season 1’s pitch-black comedy, the unbearable villainy of JP, and the sisterhood that powers the show. They explore themes of misogyny, gaslighting, revenge, and the complex emotional toll of abuse. It’s funny, heartfelt, sharp—and not afraid to get messy.

In this lively episode, host Monica welcomes back returning favorite James, known online as @moviegoodormoviebad, a sharp-witted content creator and film critic with a keen eye for all things cinema. Together, they dive into the highly anticipated sci-fi release Mickey 17, directed by Bong Joon-ho, while unpacking the latest headlines from the entertainment world.

The episode kicks off with “Media Mania,” where Monica and James cover a range of buzzworthy stories, starting with the surreal announcement of an A24 Barney film, featuring Daniel Kaluuya and Ayo Edebiri. They reflect on the risks and possibilities of reimagining childhood icons, while also addressing the complexities of representation through the lens of director Amma Asante’s controversial film Where Hands Touch. The conversation expands to the larger landscape for Black women directors and how the industry often misinterprets or under-supports their vision.

They also discuss the surprising box office performance of The Day the Earth Blew Up, ponder the bizarre Coyote vs. Acme situation (can this film just be released already?), and speculate on how the commodification of nostalgia continues to dominate studio decisions.

In the second half, Monica and James turn their attention to Mickey 17, Bong Joon-ho’s return to genre filmmaking. They explore Robert Pattinson’s nuanced performance as a clone assigned to die repeatedly for the sake of a colonized planet, and how the film blends existential sci-fi with dark comedy.

Naomi Ackie’s performance as Nasha earns high praise for breaking new ground as a fully realized Black female lead in sci-fi — a rare feat Bong handles with care. They break down themes of class, body autonomy, and the ethics of immortality, and unpack the role of Mark Ruffalo’s villainous commander, who channels not just authoritarianism, but corporate entitlement and ego.

They also debate the moral ambiguity of Teemo, the clone who chooses self-preservation, and how that character challenges easy notions of “right” and “wrong” in survival narratives. As the discussion evolves, the duo highlights how Bong subverts the traditional hero arc while creating something deeply human beneath the sci-fi sheen.

Key Themes:

• The surreal rise of A24’s Barney and rebranding childhood
• Hollywood’s uneasy relationship with Black women directors
• Bong Joon-ho’s genre shift post-Parasite
• Robert Pattinson and Naomi Ackie’s layered performances
• Sci-fi as a lens for class, identity, and rebellion
• The ethics of cloning and disposable labor
• Teemo’s dilemma and survival morality
• Naomi Ackie’s Nasha and rare representation done right

In this dynamic episode, host Manika welcomes back fan-favorite guest Harvey, known online as Harbo Wholmes, a prominent YouTuber and Doctor Who aficionado. Together, they dissect Series 14 of Doctor Who and examine the ever-evolving sci-fi landscape through the lens of Andor, AI in Hollywood, and the show’s new Disney era.

The episode begins with “Media Mania,” where Manika and Harvey rave about the upcoming season of Andor. They praise the Star Wars series for its sharp writing and character-first storytelling, and compare its grounded realism to the more spectacle-driven approach of other franchise entries. The pair highlight why Andor works for both fans and newcomers, and how its narrative strength could serve as a blueprint for shows like Doctor Who.

The conversation then shifts to a hot topic: the Russo brothers’ controversial interview, where they expressed a favorable view of AI in filmmaking and made eyebrow-raising comments about Harvey Weinstein’s influence on the Oscars. Manika and Harvey critique the film industry's increasing reliance on AI, discussing ethical implications, corporate motivations, and how AI threatens artistic integrity. They explore whether AI tools are aiding or replacing creativity, and what it means for future directors and screenwriters.

In the second half, the duo digs deep into Doctor Who Series 14, the start of Ncuti Gatwa’s run as the Fifteenth Doctor. They explore Gatwa’s charisma, emotional openness, and how his portrayal compares to past incarnations. While Manika appreciates the Doctor’s warmth and energy, both agree the show feels emotionally weightless at times. They question if the crying trope is overused and whether the show is playing it too safe under Russell T Davies and Disney’s broader influence.

The discussion also touches on the lack of stakes and depth in character arcs—particularly Ruby Sunday’s role as the Doctor’s companion. While Ruby is likable and sweet, Harvey argues she lacks the definition and complexity of past companions like Martha, Donna, and Bill. They also critique the show’s shorter runtime, noting how the reduced number of episodes undermines long-term storytelling and emotional payoff.

They wrap up the episode by considering the future of the show—including speculation about Series 15, Disney’s role behind the scenes, and whether Doctor Who might benefit from adopting a structure more like Andor, with longer-form arcs and more narrative bite.

Key Themes:

• Andor’s return and its impact on genre storytelling

• AI in film: creativity vs convenience

• Ncuti Gatwa’s debut as the Doctor

• Emotional tone and writing in Series 14

• Ruby Sunday as a companion: does she measure up?

• Disney’s influence and Doctor Who's evolving format

With a passion for storytelling that began with a simple screenplay alongside his friend Patrick Haig, Michael shares how their first short film served as an invaluable learning experience, laying the groundwork for their burgeoning careers.

In this captivating podcast episode, we dive deep into the world of "Uglies," a Netflix film adaptation that aimed to tackle profound themes of beauty standards and societal expectations. Host Monica, alongside her guest Evasive, a noted YouTuber, critically examines where "Uglies" falls short in its exploration of these complex themes.

The conversation kicks off by addressing the film's attempts at world-building and its portrayal of a dystopian society obsessed with aesthetic perfection. The hosts discuss how the movie skims over the depth of its source material, leading to a superficial narrative that lacks the impactful resonance of the original novel. They critique the performances within the film, highlighting how the actors struggled to bring depth to a script that didn't quite capture the novel's essence.

Monica and Evasive explore the potential of "Uglies" had it been developed as a series, which could have allowed for richer character development and a more thorough exploration of its dystopian setting. They lament the missed opportunities to delve into the darker, more intricate aspects of the story, such as the psychological impact of societal conformity and the rebellion against oppressive beauty standards.

Throughout the episode, the hosts engage in a lively discussion that not only critiques the film's execution but also underscores the importance of narrative depth and character complexity in adaptations. By drawing comparisons to other adaptations that have successfully expanded on their source material, the podcast offers listeners an insightful look at what makes or breaks a film adaptation in today's media landscape. This episode serves as a compelling critique that leaves the audience contemplating the potential of "Uglies" and the power of storytelling in challenging societal norms.

In this episode of I've Been Meaning to Watch That, host Monica is thrilled to welcome back special guest Big Teezus to dive into the hilarious and heartwarming 2024 comedy, One of Them Days. Directed by Lawrence Lamont and written by Serita Singleton, with production by Issa Rae and Macro Studios, the film stars the dynamic duo of Keke Palmer as Dreux and SZA making her acting debut as Alyssa.

One of Them Days had special early screenings before its release and is currently available to rent on Prime Video. While specific critical acclaim or box office numbers aren't detailed in our sources, the enthusiastic discussion highlights its positive reception among those who have seen it.

Monica and Big Teezus thoroughly break down the film's engaging story, which follows best friends Alyssa and Dreux in South Los Angeles as they embark on a chaotic day trying to recover rent money Alyssa foolishly gave to her boyfriend [44, 27:11]. Their conversation emphasizes the amazing chemistry between Keke Palmer and SZA, with SZA's performance being lauded as natural and effortless.

The hosts delve into the relatable themes of financial struggles, the strength of community in South Los Angeles, and the complexities of close friendships. They analyze the characters, including Alyssa's unreliable boyfriend, Kreyshawn, and the supportive presence of Katt Williams' character. The discussion highlights how the movie, while deeply rooted in the Black experience, resonates with broader audiences through its universal themes of friendship and navigating life's challenges. Dreux's ambition and focus, particularly her determination to attend a job interview despite the day's turmoil, is also a key point of analysis.

The episode further explores the importance of the theatrical experience versus streaming and voices a desire for more mid-budget comedies like "One of Them Days" to receive strong marketing pushes and longer runs in theaters. The hosts analyze the perceived underwhelming marketing for "One of Them Days" despite its talented cast and positive early reception.

Finally, Monica and Big Teezus share their Watch Lists, highlighting upcoming movies and shows they are eager to see, including "Black Bag", "Mickey 17", "Wolf Man", "Anora", "Beauty in Black", and "Paradise".

Join us as we welcome back our favorite TV aficionado, Maria from "Maria Watches Everything," who shares her unique perspective on the year's standout entertainment moments. We kick off with a candid discussion on the latest Oscar nominations, where surprise snubs and deserving nods alike stir up a whirlwind of emotions.

In this episode of I've Been Meaning to Watch That, host Manika is joined by special guest Sushi Read's to break down the chilling 2024 horror film, Heretic. Written and directed by Scott Beck and Bryan Woods, the film stars Sophie Thatcher and Chloe East as two young Mormon missionaries whose mission to convert a reclusive man, played by Hugh Grant, takes a terrifying turn.

Heretic premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival on September 8, 2024, before its U.S. release by A24 on November 8. It has since garnered critical acclaim, grossing $44.2 million worldwide. Hugh Grant’s haunting performance earned him Best Actor nominations at the Golden Globes and Critics' Choice Awards, while Beck and Woods received a Best Screenplay nomination at the Independent Spirit Awards.

Manika and Sushi Read's dive deep into the film’s unsettling portrayal of religious manipulation, personal agency, and faith under pressure. They analyze the contrasting dynamics between the confident Sister Barnes and the more reserved Sister Paxton as they face Mr. Reed’s deceptive hospitality and psychological control. The hosts unpack the tension between faith and fear, conformity and independence, and how the film forces its characters—and viewers—to confront their beliefs.

Their discussion highlights Mr. Reed’s character as a symbol of authority and coercion, drawing parallels to cult-like control and manipulation. Manika and Sushi also explore Paxton’s unexpected resilience and how her defiance challenges preconceived notions of vulnerability and strength.

From Heretic’s exploration of doubt, manipulation, and survival to its commentary on hypocrisy and moral judgment, this episode delivers a thought-provoking analysis. Tune in as Manika and Sushi Read's reflect on the deeper themes of faith and fear in horror and celebrate Heretic as an example of bold, independent storytelling.

Mike Flanagan's "Midnight Mass" is a masterpiece that challenges everything we thought we knew about horror. Could a show about faith and philosophical dilemmas be the scariest thing you've ever seen? We're thrilled to have Cam Sully from the Jacked Up Review Podcast back with us as we unravel the chilling and thought-provoking layers of this Netflix series. Together, we compare it to Flanagan's other works, like "Haunting of Hill House" and "Haunting of Bly Manor," and examine the intricate blend of religious horror and character development that makes "Midnight Mass" a standout. The setting of Crockett Island becomes a character in itself, with its residents' existential struggles pushing them to the brink.

Shifting gears, we critique the film industry's tendency to prioritize profit over creativity, highlighting the trials of cringe comedy and fantasy filmmaking. Streaming platforms like Netflix face unique challenges in promoting fantasy content that resonates with audiences, often caught in the crossfire of test screenings and studio interference. From the controversial decisions of HBO Max to the mishandling of productions such as "Rust" and "Game of Thrones," we peel back the layers of Hollywood's power dynamics, reflecting on the moral complexities in "Midnight Mass" and the societal pressures that drive its characters to manipulate religious beliefs.

Finally, we're swept up in the nostalgia of entertainment news as the Wayans Brothers reunite for a new "Scary Movie" film. We journey back to our early movie experiences, reminiscing about the cultural impact of these iconic films with hopes for the return of beloved cast members like Anna Faris and Regina Hall. Our episode rounds out with some binge-worthy TV recommendations to broaden your media horizons, like the spy thriller "Slow Horses" and the animated series "The Legend of Vox Machina." So, if you're ready to question the nature of good, evil, faith, and the human condition, join us for this captivating discussion.

Join me as I explore the current landscape of the entertainment industry, starting with a heartfelt discussion on the animated film "Wild Robot," featuring the talented Lupita Nyong'o and Kit Conner. I emphasize the significance of supporting animation workers who face ongoing challenges, including inadequate pay and the looming threat of AI taking over their jobs. With a nod to the impact of streaming platforms removing beloved animated series, I stand in solidarity with these creators and their essential contributions. I also provide insight into Francis Ford Coppola's "Megalopolis," a film that has been struggling at the box office, and touch on the mixed reception of Todd Phillips' latest Joker film, starring Lady Gaga.

The conversation shifts to an examination of police consultant TV show tropes, where I discuss how these characters, often portrayed as non-law enforcement specialists, assist in solving crimes. With examples like "The Mentalist" and "Psych," I highlight how these shows offer a unique twist on traditional procedurals, while raising questions about the portrayal of law enforcement and the consequences of bending the rules. The portrayal of police work in media and its influence on public perception is a recurring theme, as I urge listeners to engage critically with these narratives and consider their broader societal implications.

Lastly, I delve into the complex relationship between media portrayals of police and real-world issues, such as racial prejudice and systemic inequalities. Through shows like "Brooklyn Nine-Nine," I explore how television can shed light on significant societal challenges, including the school-to-prison pipeline and the criminalization of homelessness. By acknowledging the entertainment value of these portrayals while critiquing their depth and impact, I encourage listeners to reflect on the role of media in shaping perceptions of law enforcement and the importance of addressing systemic issues with a more holistic approach.

What happens when artistic ambition turns into a psychological nightmare? This week on "I've Been Meaning to Watch That," we dissect the hauntingly beautiful layers of "Black Swan." We start by examining the intriguing casting choices, especially the role of Beth played by Winona Ryder, whose career struggles eerily mirror those of her character. We'll unravel the implications of Beth's confrontation with Nina and the predatory dynamics between the characters, shedding light on the film's harsh commentary on ambition and mental health in the ballet world.

We then shift our focus to Nina's strained relationship with her overbearing mother. Discover how this suffocating dynamic stifles Nina's growth and independence, and what it tells us about the impact of overprotective parenting. We'll explore the psychological burden carried by Nina, emphasized by her interactions with Lily and Thomas, leading to a gripping discussion on the pressures of perfectionism and the severe toll it takes on mental health and personal identity. Through our personal stories, we reflect on the universal themes of repression and psychological breakdowns.

As we wind down, we tackle the broader societal themes embedded in "Black Swan." From Nina's struggle to embody the dual roles of the White and Black Swan to the liberating metaphor of "ponytail liberation," the film's narrative resonates with the pressures faced by women in various fields. We'll appreciate Natalie Portman's stellar performance and the film’s timeless commentary on the cost of artistic excellence. Tune in for a rich analysis that brings new depth to one of the most compelling psychological thrillers of our time.

Special Guest:We're excited to welcome our special guest, SapphireGhost! A fantastic Twitch streamer and TikTok creator, SapphireGhost brings their unique insights into movies and pop culture.

Get ready for a laughter-filled episode as Spencer and I dive into the world of comedy movies that we believe should have been recognized by the Academy Awards. We each picked three hilarious films that deserved a nod from the Oscars, and we can’t wait to share our picks with you.

We are thrilled to have Spencer Cook, also known as Film Update Time on TikTok, join us as our guest. Spencer is kind, hilarious, and a phenomenal guest who was an absolute pleasure to have on the show.

In this episode, we also unlock the secrets behind some of cinema's most emotionally powerful moments. Discover how Charlie Chaplin's timeless techniques in "City Lights" influenced Damien Chazelle's modern masterpiece "La La Land." We'll break down the art of capturing profound emotions through single frames and explore the magic of wordless performances, including a standout scene from "Tick, Tick... Boom!" with Andrew Garfield and Alexandra Shipp. Whether you're a film buff or a casual viewer, you'll gain a deeper appreciation for how classic and contemporary films evoke such strong feelings and why they resonate so deeply with us.

Next, we celebrate authenticity and representation in cinema, spotlighting a 2023 comedy film featuring Ayo Edebiri, Rachel Sennott, and Emma Seligman. This trio's real-life friendship brings genuine chemistry to their portrayal of socially awkward teens navigating queer relationships. Their authentic performances offer a refreshing alternative to the polished narratives often seen in mainstream media, and we'll discuss the broader implications for queer representation in film. You'll come away with insights into the importance of relatable stories and why audiences crave more films that reflect their everyday experiences.

Finally, we indulge in some nostalgic joy as we revisit childhood favorites like "Shrek" and "School of Rock," exploring their lasting impact and memorable performances. We'll also take a closer look at Emma Stone's versatile career, from her comedic breakout in "Easy A" to her more complex roles in films like "The Favourite." And for those who haven't yet seen Bo Burnham's "Eighth Grade," we'll discuss why this realistic portrayal of adolescence is a must-watch.

Join us for a journey through cinematic history, celebrating the films that shape our lives and the actors who bring these unforgettable stories to life.

In this enthralling episode of our podcast, we are joined by the perceptive and engaging Chae Jones, who brings a wealth of knowledge

Our conversation takes an exciting turn as we pivot to the intricacies of tennis drama in film, discussing the complex dynamics between characters portrayed by a stellar cast. Chae Jones sheds light on the compelling narrative of "Challengers," a movie that intricately weaves the lives of its characters against the backdrop of professional tennis. Zendaya's portrayal of Tashi, a character caught in a tug-of-war between her love for the sport and her yearning for a life beyond it, is a focal point of our analysis. Mike Faist as Art and Josh O'Connor as Patrick complete the central trio, whose tangled relationships create a web of drama and emotion that captivates the audience.

The artistry of film music and its role in shaping the emotional journey of the characters is also a subject of our exploration. We discuss how Cindy's evolving hairstyle in the film serves as a symbol of her growth and resilience, echoing the strength she displays through the trials she faces.

Finally, we delve into the concept of pursuit in interpersonal relationships, drawing parallels between the passion of an artist for their craft and the intensity of human connections. Through the lens of "Challengers," we examine the desires and motivations that drive Tashi, Art, and Patrick, highlighting the masterful storytelling that brings their complex relationships to life.

Throughout the episode, Chae Jones' contributions greatly enhance our understanding of the themes and characters we discuss. Her expertise and enthusiasm for the subjects at hand make for an episode that is not only informative but also deeply engaging.

Join me, your host Monica, as I sit down with the brilliant Christian Devine, a TikTok sensation known for his thought-provoking perspectives on video game culture. This week, we're tackling the complex interplay of Black culture and media representation, starting with a fascinating chat on a unique collaboration in the works—a live-action comedy feature from the minds behind South Park and Kendrick Lamar. Listen in as we speculate on how this unexpected pairing could shake up the landscape of narrative storytelling in media, drawing on examples like Vince Staples' Netflix series that offer fresh, authentic voices in the industry.

Venture with us through a cinematic landscape as we critique the handling of racial tropes in the film industry, specifically focusing on "The American Society of Magical Negroes" and its early exit from theaters. Christian and I dissect the narrative's bait-and-switch tactics, the missed opportunities for incisive commentary, and how such creative choices impact the legacy of Black actors and stories in Hollywood. As we navigate these discussions, we also shine a light on the broader implications for Black representation in media, from the weight of authenticity in hip-hop to the overlooked talents in films like "Miss Juneteenth" during award seasons.

Wrap up your listening experience with our heartfelt reflections on identity and authenticity in both politics and pop culture. From Sterling K. Brown's stellar performance to the evolving political consciousness post-Obama era, we leave no stone unturned. We round out our episode with recommendations that push the envelope of cultural understanding, including Dev Patel's 'Monkey Man' and the must-watch 'The Vince Staples Show.' So plug in your headphones and get ready for an enlightening journey through the highs and lows of entertainment, the power of storytelling, and the quest for true representation.

Join us on a whirlwind adventure through the cinematic and televised landscapes of Doctor Who and Star Wars with Harbo Wholmes aka Harvey, our esteemed guest and Doctor Who connoisseur. Together, we embark on an exploration of these timeless franchises as they make bold leaps into new realms—Doctor Who's transformative journey under co-production, and the reception of the Fallout adaptation for Amazon Prime. Harvey and I share a passion for preserving the essence of these narratives while welcoming fresh faces and stories to captivate new generations of fans.

The heart of our discussion beats in sync with the Doctor Who fandom, where the fervor for Ncuti Gatwa's upcoming role as the Doctor is palpable. We traverse the fine line between sharing exhilarating developments and keeping the enchantment under wraps—a tightrope walked by showrunners and fans alike. As we reminisce about our own connections to the series, we dissect the impact of major plot twists, like the Timeless Child revelation, and celebrate the "celebrity historical" episodes that breathe new life into the show's storied tradition.

Our TARDIS then sets course for the future, contemplating the uncharted potential of Doctor Who's storytelling and the legacy of regeneration. We engage in a spirited debate on the effects of casting high-profile actors in iconic roles, pondering the presence they bring to the screen. As Harvey shares his insights, we close with a nod to shows that share the innovative spirit of Doctor Who, recommending Inside No. 9 for those seeking another dimension of clever, episodic tales. So, latch onto your sonic screwdriver—this is one episode that will transport you to the furthest reaches of fandom and beyond.

Joining me this week is the perceptive and quick-witted Aprille, editorial head of Off Colour, and a critic with a fresh viewpoint on everything from horror flicks to the ethical dilemmas in biopics. We kick off with a vibrant chat about the much-anticipated Bob Marley 'One Love' biopic. April, a comic book aficionado, also sheds light on the shakeup surrounding 'X-Men '97' and the wider issues in the Marvel Universe. But it's not just superheroes and reggae legends; we get real about the portrayal of icons, discussing the casting choices that make or break a biopic's authenticity.

Our discourse takes a candid turn as we scrutinize the cultural imprint of biopics on society. Do these films simply serve as a fast track to awards? We're dissecting the motivations behind actors stepping into the shoes of famous figures and questioning whether these narratives do justice to their legacies or merely sanitize complicated histories for mass consumption. From the nuances of Ryan Coogler's new vampire project to the concerns with the way biopics like the Amy Winehouse story might be handled, April and I pull back the curtain on the art of storytelling and its intersection with the celebrities we think we know.

As the conversation winds down, we switch gears to offer up some TV show endorsements that have truly captured our hearts. Hear why "Star Trek Discovery" stands out with its captivating cast and why "Lovesick" might just be the dose of awkward, feel-good comedy you didn't know you needed. If you're chasing a series that delves into the complexities of relationships with humor and grace, "Feel Good" is the one to watch. It's been a thrilling ride this week, and we can't wait for you to join us in unpacking the layers of film, fame, and the stories we tell. Don't forget to keep up with Aprille's insightful work by checking out her social media after the show!

Ever wondered how Hollywood juggles delicate socio-political issues with the glitz and glamour of the silver screen? Join me as we navigate these choppy waters alongside TikTok's insightful movie maven, Alta's Oyster. We'll dissect Sydney Sweeney's bone-chilling performance in "Immaculate," her foray into horror that doubles as a production debut, and lay bare the eeriness of religious devotion entangled with cultural shock. But that's just the first act; our dialogue also probes the surprising stall of "Euphoria" Season 3, speculating on the reasons and ramifications of this unexpected intermission for its cast and fervent fanbase.

Our critique doesn't shy away from the controversies that send ripples across Tinseltown, including the polarized response to Jonathan Glazer's Academy Awards speech addressing Gaza. We grapple with the complex casting of Billy Porter as the iconic James Baldwin, unpacking how this decision resonates with Baldwin's enduring influence. And when we talk horror, we're not just jumping at shadows; we're scrutinizing the genre's depiction of women's agency, the potency of patriarchal narratives, and the subversion of traditional religious iconography in storytelling.

Rolling up the episode, we reflect on the haunting dynamics in "Immaculate," where the protagonist's stark reality clashes with the immutable doctrines of her faith. We tackle the interplay of power and submission within the sacred walls of a convent, and ponder over whether a film like "Immaculate" could redefine horror for a new generation. And lastly, for those hungry for more, we'll leave you with a string of recommendations that promise to scratch that itch for heart-pounding, edge-of-your-seat entertainment. Stay tuned, and let's unravel the complexities of film, feminism, and faith together.

Join us this week as we welcome the incredible TikTok sensation, Big Teezus, to shine a light on the poignant Netflix miniseries "Maid" and its unflinching portrayal of domestic violence. Our Media Mania segment kicks off with a celebration of Victoria Monet's Grammy wins, illustrating her rise from a renowned songwriter to a powerhouse artist in her own right. As we navigate the main discussion, we unpack the complexities that victims of abuse face, from cyclical employment and daycare barriers to the broader misconceptions of abuse, all encapsulated in the show's compelling narrative.

Listen in as we delve into the hurdles of balancing parenthood, education, and the quest for independence amid domestic turmoil. Our conversation touches on the protagonist's struggle for normalcy for her child, the dire need for better support systems, and the empowering journey of self-education against the backdrop of caring for a dependent parent. The narrative of "Maid" is a stark reminder of the courage it takes to chase personal aspirations when the odds seem insurmountable.

Finally, we take a detour to recommend other impactful shows and movies, highlighting how "Maid" masterfully tackles family and legal challenges. We discuss the protagonist's determination and the lack of support from figures like her father Hank, weaving in themes of workplace inequality and the power of advocacy. Our discussion also revisits initial hesitations about popular shows, including The Morning Show featuring Jennifer Aniston and Reese Witherspoon, and how they can surprise us with nuanced takes on issues like pay equity. Don't miss out on this conversation with Big Teezus as we explore these themes and much more in our latest episode.

Have you ever sat through a film that left you with more questions than answers? That's the kind of rich, complex, and sometimes frustrating cinematic landscape we're unraveling in our latest episode. We kick things off by revisiting the most impactful conversations from the last year, celebrating the art of storytelling with a nod to the horror genre's empathetic masters like Guillermo del Toro and Mike Flanagan. We don't just bask in their glory; we scrutinize the delicate craft of blending social horror with political commentary, acknowledging successes and where expectations fall short, all while pondering the evolving role creators play in today's politically charged atmosphere.

Transforming from bystanders to critics, we then engage with the contentious topics rocking the film world. From the anticipated 'Priscilla' biopic to the hype around 'The Marvels', we dissect the complex interplay of anticipation and disappointment, touching on 'trailer fishing' and the occasional disconnect between movie trailers and the films they represent. The conversation doesn't stop there; we also dive into the responsibilities of filmmakers when presenting narratives outside their cultural perspective, discussing the impact of authenticity and creative intent in storytelling.

Wrapping up, our episode takes a turn into the ethical quandaries and power dynamics that films like "Tár" boldly address. We examine the narrative through various lenses, contemplating the gendered implications of power and dominance, and ponder the age-old dilemma of art versus the artist. As we break down these intriguing portrayals and their psychological underpinnings, we offer an unfiltered glimpse into the moral complexities that make films not just entertainment, but a reflection of our very humanity. Join us for this thought-provoking journey through the highs and lows of the past year in film.

Could "Mean Girls" on Broadway and the silver screen truly capture the razor-sharp wit of high school's social battlegrounds? Josh Bradley from Series Film People and I chew over the adaptation's rollercoaster, dissecting the intricacies of transforming the film's humor and heart from screenplay to stage notes, then back to the camera’s lens. As we meander through the media landscape, from TV shows hitting milestone episodes to pro-shot musicals reshaping theater access, we unearth industry strategies and mull over the Oscar race—pondering which films and performances might shine as this year's dark horses.

Josh and I don't just stop at the glitz of Hollywood; we're also divulging our personal screen time favorites from the gripping narrative twists of "Criminal Record" to the perplexing "Anatomy of a Scandal." "Mean Girls" isn’t simply a nostalgic trip down the high school hallway; it's a cultural titan that's shaped an entire genre. We relish in Tina Fey's storytelling prowess, discuss the film's translation into a musical phenomenon, and even get candid about the potential hiccups in casting, singing, and adapting beloved scenes for new formats.

Join us as we dissect the "Mean Girls" evolution—its enduring influence on pop culture, the surprising effects of production choices on storytelling, and the impact of reimagined characters like Gretchen Wieners. Our animated conversation goes beyond just scene critiques and debates over casting; it's an impassioned dive into the transformative power of musicals and the fascinating journey from book to cult classic film to Broadway success—and now, back to the movie theater. Whether you're a die-hard 'Plastics' fan or a theater enthusiast, there's a seat at the table for you in this episode's lively discussion.

The holiday spirit arrives with a twinkle and a touch of nostalgia as Derek Gale, affectionately known as Dare Bear, joins me for a sleigh ride through the wonderland of Christmas TV specials. From the heartwarming moments of "The Office" to the timey-wimey traditions of "Doctor Who," we unpack the episodes that have us decking the halls and cringing when our favorite shows vanish from streaming services. Remember the time you had to scour the internet for that one "Doctor Who" Christmas special? Yeah, we're not over it either.

As we cozy up with our hot cocoa, we can't help but grumble over what's become of the streaming landscape—ads cluttering our screens, beloved shows being axed, and big budgets splurging on the next explosive blockbuster while gems like 'Shadow and Bone' get the cold shoulder. The conversation ventures into the evolving nature of digital media consumption, provoking thoughts about our yearning for simple, all-in-one platforms without the monopoly drama. Oh, and Netflix's movie selection? We've got a bone to pick there, too.

Wrapping up with bows on top, we steer our chat towards the emotional journeys TV shows take us on, like the raw struggles depicted in the series starring Margaret Qualley. Then, there's the peculiar mix of originals and franchise spin-offs that leave us questioning the strategies of giants like Paramount and Peacock. Before we sign off, Derek shares a sneak peek at the Glitter Jaw Queer Podcast Collective, a must-listen for those intrigued by discussions on everything from media to monster movies. So grab your favorite Santa hat, and let's jingle all the way through this festive podcast episode.

Listen in as we welcome the brilliant Nicole Eva, also known as Evasive, for a lively discussion about the manic pixie dream girl trope in film and TV. With her keen eye for movie analysis, we examine this problematic trope, its harmful effects, and its prevalence in the media. Amidst our discourse, we touch on recent controversies in the entertainment industry, such as a questionable joke on SNL, the show's toxic work environment, and the relentless pressure to produce a new show every week.

Our conversation doesn't stop there. Together, we tackle the issues of shows and movies being abruptly removed from streaming platforms, causing disappointment and frustration among viewers. We also delve into the decline in quality of fashion and costuming in some shows, highlighting the need for historical accuracy. Through this, we express our collective disappointment with the lack of transparency in the industry and its impact on us as viewers.

We end our discussion by examining the portrayal of manic pixie dream girls in films such as 500 Days of Summer and Ruby Sparks. We unpack the complexities of this trope, from its origins with male writers to its subversion by female writer Zoe Kazan in Ruby Sparks. By offering alternative endings and analyzing the trope's impact on relationships and gender roles, we aim to bring a fresh perspective to this well-worn trope. So, tune in for an enlightening conversation about film, TV, and the roles we see on our screens.

Join Leo and me as we journey into the realm of Black Mirror, analyzing the societal implications of the Netflix series and its portrayal of our obsession with social media. We unpack the episode "Nosedive", examining its depiction of influencers, the burden and blessings of their platforms, and whether the show is a critique or an exaggeration of modern society. Listen as we share our insights into the role of recurring actors, and discuss the performance of Latisha Roy in "Black Museum", and how it propels the conversation about technology's impact on marginalized communities.

In this episode of I’ve Been Meaning to Watch That, Jocelyn, AKA Joc’s Watchlist, talks about Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story.

"Hi, everyone! I'm Jocelyn, also known as Joc's Watch List on TikTok and Instagram. I talk about TV shows and movies, review them, and give recommendations. I also share a daily TV show guide, so if you're ever running out of things to watch, come follow me!"

First things first: in the Can’t Wait to Watch segment, we talk about the upcoming DC movie, Blue Beetle, in the shadow of recent DC drama. We’re hoping that Blue Beetle will break the trend of DC’s underperforming releases when it comes out in August. We also get into Warner Brothers’ new plan to license HBO original series to Netflix. Is this a bad idea? What does it mean for the HBO-exclusive series?

Is Netflix’s “One Home Per Account” plan worth it? Is it time to cancel our subscriptions? Which streaming platform should we pick? Does Peacock offer good value?

Hear our thoughts on Atlanta Housewives, our predictions for the upcoming Challengers movie after watching the trailer, the next seasons of Euphoria, our beef with HBO’s The Idol, and other shows that we enjoyed – including The Sex Lives of College Girls, Never Have I Ever, Mr. Malcolm’s List, and we reminisce about old shows.

Then, we get into the main topic of the show: Queen Charlotte. How many episodes should it have had? We’re not too surprised at the show’s success, because, let’s be honest, it’s Shonda Rhimes, and the actors were also incredible. We’re glad that Bridgerton is introducing black characters into period dramas, but should Julia Quinn be making money from the diversity in the shows?

We look at how Queen Charlotte’s priorities have changed as she aged, we try to piece together what the other characters’ lives would’ve looked like if the show had been longer, and we try to imagine Queen Charlotte’s origin story.

In the final segment, Watchlist, we go through the shows that we’re excited about and our recommendations.

Constantine's movie, which initially aired in 2005 alongside the popular Supernatural show, continues to be a compelling topic for discussion.

Hey guys! We are back with a new episode with returning guest BEAN. We sit down to talk about the worst tv shows that came out in 2022. This episode asks all kinds of questions.

Why did Netflix cancel The Midnight Club if Mike Flanagan has shown to be a valuable asset to the platform?

How awful is The Ultimatum?

Are tv shows like Dahmer retraumatizing the victims families?

Why would you say yes to a show like The Ultimatum?

Why is it so hard to watch independent movies these days?

Hello listeners! This week, I sit down with writer and my super dope Twitter friend Tristian. We talk about the MCU a little bit in the beginning, how we don't know the names of any of the horror movies (ex it's not the Chucky movie; it's called Child's Play), and how Ryan Murphy is a menace to the LGBTQ+ community.

Hey guys! This week we talk about the amazing Amazon Prime show Invincible! I get to talk about this awesome show with my awesome guest Tulin who is a screenwriter and podcaster. She also works with the Cosmic Circus. We sit down and talk about the importance of extreme violence in shows like this, how much we love Lee Pace, and how comic book to tv show adaptations don't always live up to expectations. Not in terms of Invincible. I was talking about The Boys. But we'll cover The Boys another time.

Because God knows that he needs it. And when is Logan gonna die. Just kidding! We didn't talk about that. But really though?

It has been about 3 years since Sense 8 ended on Netflix and gosh darn it! I miss it everyday! It was so much fun to talk to Karla about this amazing show. Created by the same brilliant minds behind The Matrix movies, Sense8 tells the tale of how 8 strangers share one consciousness. The show highlights how different they all are and yet they can come together in such dire circumstances. We had such a blast talking to each other about this show and I really hope ya'll take the time to check it out

Glenn and I sit down and chat about Denis Villeneuve's epic science fiction movie based of a 1965 novel written by Frank Hubert. I don't want to bore you with the details but HOLY MOLY IT'S GOOD! No. Like. The movie is actually pretty good. We talk about the white savior trope and whether or not the movie is critiquing it; lack of Zendaya; and the many similarities and differences between different intergalactic superpowers in this movie.

Hey there listeners! Glenn and I sat down to talk about some of our favorite scary movies. We both gushed about how phenomenal and one of a kind Get Out was. We talked about Midsommar and the meanings behind the pagan commune, how messy relationships can be and what was the true outcome for Dani at the end. I, Manika, talked about Candyman and how the new one does and does not measure up to the original. A conversation about black communities, generational trauma, gentrification and so much more. Glenn talked Malignant and how it turned out to be just another scary movie you can watch: nothing new. Nothing special

CW: Discussions of sexual assault. 

National Sexual Assault Hotline 1-800-656-4673

Written and Directed by former Killing Eve showrunner, Emerald Fennel has redefined the female vigilante with this pastel-colored thriller. Carrey Mulligan stars as Cassie Thomas who is seeking vengeance for the sexual assault of her best friend Nina. This movie lets no one off the hook and takes a close look at how men and women enable rape culture in our society. It examines how predators are not always creepy men who live in the shadows of society but are sometimes everyday men that you meet in the grocery store or are best friends with. 

The real antagonist of the film is the society that we live in that goes out of its way to protect possible predators and neglects the victims of these men's reprehensible actions.

Hello everyone! So sorry for going on such a long haitus, but I'm back at it! This week I wanted to talk about Bridgerton. The saucy new romance series that was the top Netflix pick for weeks. The show centers around the Bridgerton family and the pressure in the marriage market. The show is highly regarded for the costumes and set designs, but in my opinion falls short in the aspects they were praised for by the critics. Let me know what you think. Feel free to send me any questions or suggestions at ivebeenmeaning2@gmail.com.

Hey guys! This week I am reviewing the independent movie Outside In directed by Lynn Shelton and written by Lynn Shelton and Jay Duplass. This movie focuses on Chris who has been released from prison after serving 20 years for a crime he did not commit. He reconnects with his longtime penpal, Carol who is his former high school teacher. This movie is really amazing and has a deep empathetic feel to it.
