Beba (2022)

Netflix’s Shadow and Bone has a complicated relationship with race. It has a diverse cast, but not without its problems. Based on Leigh Bardugo’s two book series, the show features characters from the Shadow and Bone trilogy, which is very straight and white, and the Six of Crows duology, which is much more diverse. When bringing together a cast and writing about these characters, the team behind the show expanded upon some of the representation missing from the first trilogy, then seemed to take away representation from the duology. Shadow and Bone seems to play a bit of a push and pull game when it comes to portraying diversity onscreen.

If Top Gun needed to say it, Top Gun: Maverick makes you feel the need... the need for speed.

"Peter Pan & Wendy" is a diverse fantasy brought to life and an adventure for all ages.

An apocalyptic tale captivates the nation as it teaches us to love even in the hardest situations.

On the Road captures the bleak, hyper-masculine world of long-haul trucking in Northern Mexico, where anything can and will happen. A hard-boiled, neon-noir romantic thriller, it shows the gritty reality of roadside diners, truck stops, and truck cemeteries alongside the expansive, breathless beauty of the Mexican desert highways.

Rather than focusing on the bleak, cynical aspects of life post-pandemic, the focus is optimistic and hopeful.
