How do I even start to write about something that's taken over all the free space in my brain? Why don't we just start at the beginning? I was mindlessly scrolling TikTok in bed and a video came up talking about a new Crave show that was adapting a gay hockey romance book called Heated Rivalry. I was like ok, cool. That's nice, maybe I'll check it out when it drops. Life went on and I eventually f

Okay, I need to get my thoughts out here before Jan 7th hits because I think a vast majority of us are going to be majorly disappointed. Here's the thing, I LOVE narratives like Stranger Things. It took a DnD game and turned it into this sci-fi fantasy, over the top, 80s nostalgic craze that was so much fun disappearing into. I loved how it began, and to be honest, the second and third seasons wor

I went to see The Housemaid for the same two reasons that every other man went to see The Housemaid. I was skeptical, at first, as I waited for the steamy scenes to fog up my glasses. However, instead of the erotic romp that I expected, what I received was a somber warning, an alarm bell, regarding men's roles in today's society and why women are society's saving grace. After having a series of ve

Mild Content Warnings for subjects of misogyny, homophobia (specifically lesbophobia), gendered violence, sexual abuse, slut shaming etc. Basically, if it happens in Utena, there's a possibility it will be discussed here. Sometime last year, I watched Revolutionary Girl Utena for the first time. I honestly wasn’t even expecting to like it because it’s super confusing for like the first 14 episodes

Christmas isn’t recognizable without miracles, joy, hope, and consumerism. It’s a season that asks you to celebrate while privately forcing reflection at the same time. You look at the year behind you, the life you’re living, the choices you made, and the ones you avoided. While I was watching Tokyo Godfathers, I kept thinking about how closely that feeling mirrors the film itself. You’re surround

I’ve found that most articles for this challenge are based on action films led by brave, intelligent characters with extraordinary physical and combat skills, risking their lives in dangerous situations—often for a greater good. But I’d like to focus on the other side of the spectrum: the quiet ones. The ones who choose solitude. The ones who notice everything and feel even more. The Perks of Bein

I'm calling it. I cannot afford being a Taylor Swift fan anymore. I mean, I'm a little bummed because she's garnered the reputation of creating spectacles for her three-hour long shows, but I don't think I have the capacity to mortgage my house just to attend one of her concerts. I barely have the capacity to purchase a subscription to Disney+ just to watch her new docuseries titled The End of an

When reflecting on why my ex-girlfriend and I broke up, I realize that our differing attitudes toward The Cove—a documentary about environmentalism and human behavior—might have offered a glimpse into our deeper issues. First, let me say this: The Cove is a powerful documentary and I love it. I deeply admire the courage of its creators. But I feel that the film relies a bit too heavily on emotiona

We all have that guilty pleasure in our cinematic tastes, that one title we’d rather not admit to in front of discerning cinephile friends. For me, that guilty pleasure is What Women Want. Yes, the 2000 romantic comedy directed by Nancy Meyers, starring Mel Gibson and Helen Hunt. And before anyone judges me, let me explain how a man raised on explosions, car chases, and epic one-liners from Lethal

I’m a big believer in Bob Dylan and an even bigger disbeliever in biopics. So when I heard about the inevitable release of a Dylan biopic helmed by Hollywood journeyman James Mangold, my reaction was anxiety, puzzlement, and rejection—because a genius like Dylan can’t possibly fit into the constraints of a traditional biopic. We already have an excellent non-traditional Dylan biopic: Todd Haynes’
