(Written by Allison Brown) ★★★★ The cost of healthcare in the United States is at an all-time high. If one suddenly loses their job or falls off their parents’ insurance, out-of-pocket costs can reach the thousands, leading many to neglect their health. Even with insurance, high deductibles and co-pays make it hard for the average … Continue reading SXSW 2023: Pay or Die
SXSW 2023: Citizen Sleuth
(Written by Allison Brown) ★★★ Although some may have good intentions, true crime podcasts are an ethical grey zone. Director Chris Kasick chooses to follow Emily Nestor and the explosion of her show, Mile Marker 181, in Citizen Sleuth to expose the balance between entertainment and truth. With zero college education or audiovisual, journalism or … Continue reading SXSW 2023: Citizen Sleuth
Film Review: Pamela: A Love Story
★★★★ Hulu’s Pam & Tommy was one of my favorite pieces of media that I watched in 2022. A key feature was not addressed, and until I caught Netflix’s Pamela Anderson documentary, I did not quite realize just how vital it would be. Pamela was not consulted about the series, nor would she have participated. … Continue reading Film Review: Pamela: A Love Story
TV Review: The Price of Glee
Much ado has been made about FOX’s absolute juggernaut Glee, a musical dramedy that redefined the television landscape, put queer filmmaking at the forefront, ushered in an impressive roster of new talent, and even transitioned into a hugely successful live stage performance show that toured all across the United States. I count myself among the … Continue reading TV Review: The Price of Glee

TV Review: I Love You, You Hate Me
Were you even a child of the 90s without an unhealthy obsession of big purple lovable dinosaur, Barney? Personally, I remember being infatuated, owning everything from Barney underwear to Barney tents, and of course Barney & Friends stuffed animals. Even now, just thinking of the show puts a nostalgic smile on my face. Peacock’s new … Continue reading TV Review: I Love You, You Hate Me
TV Review: Queer For Fear: The History of Queer Horror
Having seen only the first two episodes of Shudder’s excellent queer horror doc, aptly titled Queer for Fear: The History of Queer Horror, I can safely say that I am obsessed with the direction and interviews from gay creative (and absolute legend) Bryan Fuller. We dive all the way back to the literary origins, laser-focused … Continue reading TV Review: Queer For Fear: The History of Queer Horror

Popcorn Frights 2022: Living with Chucky
★★★★ Years worth of in-depth horror documentaries (including but not limited to Crystal Lake Memories: The Complete History of Friday the 13th, Never Sleep Again: The Elm Street Legacy, Scream: The Inside Story, etc.) have set my expectations high for this genre of film. Especially when it comes to a long-running series, the fans deserve … Continue reading Popcorn Frights 2022: Living with Chucky
Film Review: Claydream
★★★ Written and Directed by Marq Evans, Claydream is a fascinating doc that debuted at 2021’s Tribeca Film Festival. Taking us all the way back to the early 80s, the “father of Claymation,” Will Vinton, has a surprising and revolutionary key role in creating this beloved format. For the uninitiated, Claymation essentially boils down to … Continue reading Film Review: Claydream
