辰巳奈都子×青島あきな「PLEASE×3~小悪魔なっちゃん&マンゴー乳青島編~」 

Eddington attempts to capture how media is intertwined with the uncomfortable present.

This little Netflix film was very inspirational. It passes the Bechdel test, and features a different worldview with rural Indian representation.

A surprise sequel takes place ten years after the original movie based on the title of the same name, but with a twist to the fairy tale.

Netflix takes some liberties in its portrayal of Madame CJ Walker, a trailblazing Black entrepreneur.

The plot could’ve really been interesting if the elements of lycanthropy was integrated with perhaps the struggle of identity of being LGBTQ+. It's an experience for so many that as they’re starting to realizing their true selves, they feel like a monster, especially if they come from unsupportive homes or communities. Instead, the horror and transformation elements seem thrown in without contemplation of how this could deepen the narrative.

This surprisingly clever romantic comedy perfectly balances genuine heart with wild reality television chaos. It is an uplifting and funny reminder that second chances and real community can show up exactly when you stop looking for them.
