Behind the Shield: The Power and Politics of the NFL (2022)

The 92nd Academy Awards had many strong contenders for best animated short. But which Oscar nominated short wins for diversity and inclusion?

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.

Remember Caroline from Vampire Diaries? Well, now she’s The Suitcase Killer, allegedly. 

A short film that begins with the language of romance but slowly reveals something far more unsettling beneath the surface.

This drama film is about Priscilla and Elvis Presley's failed marriage through the lens of the title character.

The film may be a thriller, but I wasn’t thrilled by it. If anything, I was bored and annoyed.
