Fandom Spaces Have a Boundary Problem

At the end of February, amid the ever-persisting Heated Rivalry craze, an article was published for New York Magazine called “The Great Fujoshi Awakening: Why Do So Many Women Love Men Who Love Men?” In the article, the author made very specific references to works of fanfiction online, going so far as to link one of the works within the article. There was immediate public outcry by fans on Twitter...

This Dark Comedy is Unnerving and Unraveling Identity: The Iguana Becomes Marco Review

There’s nothing that makes you more inspired (and slightly spooked) than a story about identity, the self unknown, regret, and unrequited love (my personal favorite “big three” for delightful nightmare topics). Leaving La MaMa theater after watching The Iguana Becomes Marco in its short run was just like that: a delightful nightmare. Maybe one that you want to end at times but you’re too invested in the rich content of its plot to wake up, definitely one you won’t forget.

How “The Ugly Stepsister” Painfully Explores the Need to be Beautiful

I’ve watched the trailer for Emilie Blichfeldt’s The Ugly Stepsister over 5 times now. It all started when my best friend sent me the trailer on Instagram and I was immediately intrigued. The idea of reworking Cinderella into a horror movie from the perspective of one of her stepsisters sounded like an excellent way of embracing the story’s grim (pun very much intended) roots.

Female-Led Media Needs More Whimsy

Camaraderie has been an enduring element in female friendships throughout history. Whether in medieval convents or as newly working women in the past century, sisterhood and female solidarity have helped women fight against all kinds of bigotry, or at the very least, make persisting through it just a little more tolerable. Women have typically been underdeveloped, if at all developed, characters. For the longest time, entertainment media in particular have represented the interactions between...

Zola considers her genre of music to fall into the “Queer Pop” category, yet carries heavy notes of RnB in everything she creates.

You, Me & Tuscany: Black Films and The Myth of Profitability in Hollywood

Nina Lee, award-winning filmmaker and creator of The Girls Room and Sorry About That, recently posted a thread on X (formerly Twitter) where she revealed that the sale of two of her romance film projects depends on how well the new romantic comedy film You, Me & Tuscany does in theaters. She said in the thread, “A film that has nothing to do with me could quite literally change my life.”

Re-Visiting Andrea Arnold’s 2011 Filmed Adaptation of Wuthering Heights: A Conversation About Adaptations

Emily Brontë’s sole published work, Wuthering Heights, is not a beautiful story. It’s barely even a love story, much less “the greatest love story of all time” as the tagline for Emerald Fennell's upcoming adaptation goes. Brontë wrote this story to showcase the brutal ugliness of humanity by exploring the devastating fallout of generational abuse, racism, and classism.

Having a Boyfriend Isn’t Embarrassing if You Aren’t.

To be fair, optimization under patriarchy is exhausting. Last October, Vogue put out its ever-relevant “Is Having a Boyfriend Embarrassing Now?” article, which made the rounds on practically every media site that exists. CNN interviewed the author, The Guardian did a follow-up article, and every short-form and long-form content creator gave their two cents and then an extra penny. Most reactions correctly assessed the magnitude of how women’s dating history and romantic decisions impact their...
