Back To The 90's
|
The terms "reboot," "revival," and "sequel series" have been thrown around a lot in the last decade as popular shows from the past return in various configurations to revive interest among older fans and (ideally) please a completely new audience. However, one decade, in particular, has become the source of a seemingly endless flood of resurrected ideas: the 1990s.

Judas and the Black Messiah: ...And This is What it Feels Like

"I arrived on the day Fred Hampton died" wasn’t just random lyrics, it’s one of the greatest rappers of all time paying homage to a Black icon whose legacy should have long been taught in the history books. At last we have, “Judas and the Black Messiah,” a powerful depiction of the legendary Black Panther leader through the eyes of William O’Neal.
O’Neal, played by the award-winning LaKeith Stanfield, was used by the government to infiltrate the Illinois charter of the Black Panther Party. To me, the film is a must-watch because of the care and dedication put into making the film. Care that went into dynamic casting, modern release method, an impressive soundtrack, and the producers who developed the film. Read Full Article |

WandaVision Episodes 1-4: What are We Seeing with WandaVision?

When Disney first revealed they were going to be making their heavy push into streaming content I did not give them the full vote of confidence. Crazy right? One should always bet on the ‘house of the mouse.’ However, I had good reasons to reserve my doubts. The main two reasons why I would be looking forward to Disney+ were because of Disney’s two biggest IPO’s at the time. Star Wars and Marvel. 2019 was not a good year for Star Wars with most people being burnt out over the direction that the films were going. However, on the marvel side of it the year 2020 was barren with no new IPO’s being premiered.
A lot of people believed that Disney should have shifted the head of Lucasfilm and taken a lot longer to work on a new Star Wars project that fans could get behind, with me being one of these fans. Once again - Disney makes me fall on my face, dropping their series “The Mandalorian”, a show met with both critical and commercial success, mainly due to that little green ball of love dubbed as “Baby Yoda”.

What can be defined as freedom of speech? I’m sure Gina Carano is asking that very question right now after Disney saw fit to fire her from their Number 1 show “The Mandalorian”. Now for most people, this seems brash and out of the blue. However, many Twitter users are rejoicing because their voices have finally been heard. The silent minority has been heard, but how did we get to this point and why do people dislike her?
Before the second season of “The Mandalorian” debuted in the fall of 2020, people started to see controversial posts from the actor’s social media accounts. I first became aware of her tweets by other users when I heard rumblings that she said “I’m not against trans lives at all. They need to find less abusive representation,”. After I looked back I saw that the tweets were taken out of context, in her own way, she was trying to defend trans people. That was also my first introduction to her as a person instead of as one of her on-screen personalities. Read Full Article |
