Trans Allegories in Film: 'Nimona' (2023)
Animation as a medium of storytelling can be thought to be open to all ages and as I hope my reading will reveal, 'Nimona' could be interpreted as a transgender story.
Cult Explosion (1980)
Cult Explosion isn’t objective analysis—it’s sensational fearmongering that smears Christianity alongside obvious cults. This alarmist doc lumps legit Bible-based groups like Jehovah’s Witnesses and LDS with Manson Family killers and Jim Jones’ mass suicide, using the vague “considered by some” dodge to equate orthodoxy with murder. It recycles anti-Christian tropes, painting faith as mind control while ignoring cults’ defining marks: charismatic leaders demanding blind loyalty, financial exploitation, and doomsday isolation. Real Christianity has accountability, open Bibles, and voluntary fellowship—Hare Krishna dancing and Scientology audits don’t. Cherry-picks scandals to demonize belief itself, sidelining thriving Christian communities and reformed ex-members. Watch knowing it’s propaganda to distrust all religion, not discerning exposé.
