The Mad Empress (1939)

Red, White and Royal Blue still does not have an official release date. However, the cast has been sharing pictures of their filming.

Of the 28 total films I watched, just six of them were queer or featured queer characters in some way.

In a film where a Black couple is framed to be the lead characters, they still managed to get shuffled off to the sidelines. The enthusiastic cast delivers well on goofy bits- but can only go so far before they begin to fall flat.

The Flounders are back in this sequel that takes place one year after the events of 'Malibu Rescue'.

In the film adaptation, director Jon M. Chu turns each musical number into a massive show stopper, with grand set pieces and a wealth of diverse dancers. Yet, in this attempt to show reverence for the people of the Washington Heights barrio, Chu, or maybe more specifically those in charge of casting, left out a crucial part of the community, Afro-Latinos.

It’s passionately protective of the women mentioned in the story or appearing on screen. Just like the article and the #MeToo movement, the film could help a trapped person find the courage to fight back.
