'Jungle Beat: The Movie' (2021)
This animated kids' movie shows viewers two different species--jungle animals and aliens--and how both species coexist.

Directed by Edoardo Nervi and Lea & Vera Borniotto, in homage to the iconic director Edward D. Wood Jr. The three directors wanted to make a short film freely inspired by the 1959 film "Plan 9 from Outer Space", setting it in the difficult scenario of the Coronavirus pandemic ongoing. The genius of the short film lies in having made all the shooting and editing without ever leaving the house, in accordance with the restrictive Dpcm "Stay Home".

Even without the messaging, Mercy does not hold up as a movie. It's sloppily done and the mystery doesn’t tie together at the end.
Although the budget was a dollar and a dream, Netflix's 'First Kill' managed to gain over 90 million viewing hours and a small cult following. So why was it canceled? Given the trends in series cancellations, it may have been because of the Black and queer protagonists.
Those perfect Summer or Fall days. The sun is shining, the temperature is JUST right, and you've got nothing else to do. Therefore, isn't it time to get outside and take a nice stroll through the park, or along the shoreline (should you be that fortunate), or even just around the neighborhood? Sure. BUT.....if one lives in the America found in the newest film adaptation of the work from horror author/cultural icon Stephen King.....doing this SHOULD be the LAST thing you hope to find yourself engaged with.
At first glance, one wouldn't think John Carpenter's cult classic would be a thematic double-billing - or that Free Guy would be worthy of being mentioned in the same sentence as They Live - but the two films of vastly different genres have more similarities upon further examination.
On March 31st, International Trans Day of Visibility, following some COVID related delays, the trailer was finally dropped, and although Taylour Paige and Riley Keough look to impress as lead characters Zola and Stefani, a brief cameo from a queer icon was what convinced me I have to see this movie.
