The Burden of Female Intuition in Something Very Bad Is Going to Happen (2026)

And as a person inclined to trust my intuition above all else, it’s the most common advice I find myself giving in real life and in my online socialising.

Who Needs 'Independence Day' When You've Got 'Sorry to Bother You'?

Sorry to Bother You ultimately speaks to the unfair advantages that the country’s power structures award to those with the resources to control others, as Lift’s easy access to the media allows his opinion to be the only one that matters in the eyes of the unsuspecting and easily impressed public. Moreover, it reveals the extent to which the American Dream has any true validity. It postulates how the promise of success and fulfillment as promoted by the American Dream more often than not leads to the undoing of the individual. Interestingly, in its revealing of the American Dream as merely a facade, Sorry to Bother You wisely questions whether or not anything can really be done to undo a system that has been accepted and in action for centuries.
