ONE Friday Fights 8: Petsukumvit vs. Petchmuangsri (2023)

Can a piece of bad representation truly be reclaimed? We Are Pat (2025) attempts to answer this question.

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.

A young girl who is determined to sail the ocean within 210 days at sea brings an adventurous story for viewers.

Few movies deal with aging (particularly aging women) with as much compassion as Relic does. Yet it’s not sickly sweet and not a soapbox rant against ageism. Relic simply is, allowing the horror to seep in quietly and carefully.

The film's storylines read as allegories for the queer experience and that's a source of solace for LGBTQIA+ fans!

A world of expansion awaits.
