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.

Julie Meadows and Randy Spears star as slightly old-fashioned offbeat newlywed couple whose honeymoon gets off to a shaky start when their car breaks down on a lonely highway. Strange sexual events begin to unfold soon after the couple takes shelter in a surreal deserted mansion that seems to have a life of its own. It's not long before they realize that this is no ordinary estate, but the legendary--and presumably defunct--hedonist resort known as Sex World! As the guests of the bizarre and reclusive Dr. Wolfe and his "Family" of lifelike erotic robots, the newlyweds find their marriage put to the test as their most personal and hidden fantasies are brought to life over the course of a single night that they-nor you- will ever forget! By morning they've survived a veritable pornucopia of perversions--only to discover the shocking truth about Sex World!

Overall, “Dark Fate” is a run-of-the-mill flick. Together, Reyes and Davis have excellent chemistry, but their characters’ story is nothing new, lacking surprise and deep emotion. During the middle points, the film drags considerably, and when the action hits, it feels consistently tight, eliminating the rhythm and fluidity of conflicts.
'Bodies Bodies Bodies', the latest from indie powerhouse studio A24, is a great time. Full of dark comedy laughs, great performances, and genuine scares, it's a perfect addition to modern slasher classics.
Curb Your Enthusiasm, the improvised Seinfeld, is simply one of the funniest, most brilliant shows on television right now. Following Seinfeld co-creator Larry David and all of his mischievous antics, the series celebrated its 100th episode on Sunday with its Season 10 finale.
In Jeymes Samuel's history-infused, neo-spaghetti western, Black women are center stage with a fresh hip hop mixtape keeping rhythm in the backdrop.
As an extremely avid fan of DC’s animation, I’ve become familiar with the way the studio uses Batman as a bit of a Trojan Horse to introduce some of their lesser known characters.
