Another Simple Favor: Secrets, Style, and a Sip of Queer Representation
Emily and Stephanie are back... just add gin and drama.
Aline & Cem
When two young people from different cultural backgrounds meet, it's not just the awkwardness of a first date that comes into play; their heads are already filled with warning signals about what they should and shouldn't do, what they are and aren't allowed to do. Cem trains at Cross Fit. Aline as a dancer. They both measure how many calories they consume. They also have in common that sex before marriage is frowned upon. And they are under a lot of pressure from their parents. That's where the similarities end and the problems begin.

One of my favorite aspects of My Movie Starring Paul Dano is its blend of illustrations and dream sequences within its mockumentary structure. As the script is written, we are shown how the movie Bear Naked Amazonians From Mars looks in Herman’s head, with all its retro b movie campy charm.
'Lady Chatterley’s Lover' is Inclusive of all Gender Perspectives
The French-born director Laure de Clermont-Tonnerre’s strategic choice to entrust the interpretation of a conventional, feminine character to a non-binary actor pays off: Corrin’s Lady Chatterley is awkward, edgy, and uninhibited at the same time.
You Don’t Need to be a League of Legends Fan to Enjoy Netflix’s 'Arcane'!
Seriously, and this is coming from someone who was extremely skeptical before giving it a watch. I assumed the show would be painfully boring, but one of the show's strongest qualities is you needn't know anything about the lore to get invested in it.
