Escaping Doppelgangers: "Coraline" Serves Up Adventure in a Parallel World
This delightfully odd horror movie presents a whimsically strange alternate reality to younger audiences.

Double penetration surges with sexual energy as the prescription for bedside manner. Tickle your libido with meaty medics probing anal action with oversized units.

An aspect of She-Ra that I find refreshing is even though a large portion of the cast is on the LGBTQ+ Spectrum, being gay is never mentioned. While this might initially sound like a negative thing, in the show’s land of Etheria being on the gay spectrum is shown to be so common and normalized that straight isn’t the default. As much as there is to appreciate about narratives revolving around the obstacles that may come from being non-heteronormative, it’s nice to get immersed in a world where no one bats an eye at all to any sort of differing identity.

Given Hollywood's history of racism and financial motivations, how much progress can we expect? Plus: a list of excellent films by Black directors.
