The Lead 

A decade since it aired, Shameless (U.S.) has always stuck to its guns (and baseball bats) about character diversity.

Ditch the lube and get to the point in the raw, honest, cheeky dramedy written and directed by Mark Schwab.

This year, in light of the pandemic and the inability to gather with our loved ones, a few of our staff members reviewed their favorite holiday films with the hope of recreating some of the sentimentality that reminds us of home.

Presenting a bold and unapologetic narrative focused on strong Muslim female characters, the show beautifully incorporates punk rock as a feminist movement in their lives.

A refreshing twist is that all the kids’ powers are…kind of useless. There’s a kid who can only move in slow motion, a kid who has every power in the world but can only use them randomly, and our main character Missy who has no powers at all. The thesis of the film seems to be that it doesn’t matter what kind of powers you have, its the way you use them, which is good for the warm and fuzzies.

Though 'Bound' technically falls under the genres of crime and thriller, the film's heart is a romance between two women.
