Between #TrainDreams and #TheAbandons, Netflix has been giving this Pacific Northwest transplant some stuff to watch 👀

#Fallout Season 2 comes back on Prime tomorrow 👀🧟 Catch on with our review of the show's inclusiveness: www.mediaversityreviews.com/tv-reviews/2...

Getting into Wake Up Dead Man, the movie and the memo to Tarantino with @roxana-hadadi.bsky.social, @amuredda.bsky.social and @jacksonweaver.bsky.social . youtu.be/AwKgZlorDjs?...

I really wanted to like it 🥲

NEW REVIEW — Our writer @supergavigator.bsky.social gave #Wicked an A- but found #WickedForGood a disappointing follow-up. What changed? www.mediaversityreviews.com/film-reviews...

NEW REVIEW — Taking the time this month to ensure that the year's best films are being covered at Mediaversity Reviews. Better late than never is our look at ultra-inclusive movie #Sinners: www.mediaversityreviews.com/film-reviews...

Boosting for a friend: "I AM GIVING AWAY PRODUCTION GRANT MONEY!! The Roll Call: Women in TV & Film community on Kyndr let me put together this microgrant contest for WOMEN and NON BINARY folks working on TV or film production projects." Prize and submission details in the graphic 👍🏻👍🏻

NEW REVIEW — As someone who doesn't have much access to Broadway musicals, the film recording of #MerrilyWeRollAlong was a great way to enjoy Sondheim's 1981 work. It isn't perfect, but I'm still glad it's in theaters now for more folks to experience. www.mediaversityreviews.com/film-reviews...

NEW REVIEW — Have you been watching #Loot? Next Wednesday is the Season 3 finale, and our writer takes a look at the comedy's inclusivity (and areas for improvement) thus far: www.mediaversityreviews.com/tv-reviews/2...

Hey #filmsky catch the AI blooper when I tried to search Cuarón's movies 🙄 so sick of Gemini getting shoved down my throat when I'm just trying to read my emails, download a PDF, or use a search engine

NEW REVIEW — With #HIsForHawk now in theaters, @cairdiul.bsky.social takes a look at how the movie presents a whiter, straighter world than real life would dictate. www.mediaversityreviews.com/film-reviews...

Still running great Black Friday deals for The Film Maven. Had a colleague call me “the best in the biz” so if you want to support indie journalism consider subscribing at a great rate.

Velvet Goldmine

Movie night #WickedForGood was great. Enjoyed the sequel more than the already solid first #Wicked. Fun to see Seattle folks get dressed up, including two champs showing up in green face/body paint 💚

Trump frickin' loves this guy lmao

Luca Guadagnino's #AfterTheHunt just landed on Prime Video 👀 Our diversity review from @supergavigator.bsky.social: www.mediaversityreviews.com/film-reviews...

Hoping to see ya tomorrow at 12:30pm at the Los Feliz 3! I'll be signing copies of POPCORN DISABILITIES and introducing Tod Browning's phenomenal FREAKS!! I might even tell ya what I thought of WICKED: FOR GOOD if you ask. @amcinematheque.bsky.social www.americancinematheque.com/now-showing/...

Obit from @thesicktimes.org by Alice’s friend @mileswgriffis.bsky.social thesicktimes.org/2025/11/15/a...

“Don’t let the bastards grind you down. I love you all.”

My latest for the Golden Globes looks at this year's disabled representation in the movies. Spoilers, it's not the best but there's still stuff to be found! goldenglobes.com/articles/dis...

So AI-generated videos of Black people yelling about public assistance, immigrants being snatched off the street, and women being choked to death seem to be the main output of this technology so far.

I've noticed the opposing team's fans only cheer when the opponents score on us. To win those fans over, I recommend we score on ourselves repeatedly; that will surely make them so happy they'll start supporting us. And I'm sure all our fans will keep cheering for us—who else is there to cheer for?

happy Fuck Kim Davis Day to all who celebrate www.msnbc.com/deadline-whi...

NEW REVIEW — The topic is important. The movie is meh. #Nuremberg www.mediaversityreviews.com/film-reviews...

I was laid off from Teen Vogue this week, alongside multiple other phenomenal team members. At our Summit, I was asked how it felt to be 1 of 2 Black women left and what that meant for representation. Now, there are no Black women at Teen Vogue and that is incredibly painful to think about.

we’re about to find out if loving SimCity makes you a better mayor Mamdani was asked in 2002 by NY Mag what he wanted for Christmas and said SimCity 3000

It’s been a pleasure working with Lex and everyone in the politics vertical at Teen Vogue. I’m heartbroken that my column, Disability Visibility, is gone. Teen Vogue was one of the few places that published disabled journalists regularly. I just spent the last 2 months working on my next column

We are down to 3 signed copies of Hollywood Chinese, Arthur Dong's massive, thoroughly researched, gorgeously illustrated book about the history of Chinese and Chinese-American representation in US culture. Reading it is like seeing a documentary unfold in your mind. mzs.press/Hollywood-Ch...

And also, perhaps, take 2-5 seconds to really think whether the content makes any sense at all before you believe everything. It's not just AI-generated videos, it's literally everything you see and read on the internet since oh, I don't know, the late 90s? www.bbc.com/future/artic...

My final piece for @teenvogue.com politics section was a piece titled "There's a Steep Price to Ignoring Black Expertise" and boy has that come full circle. Thank you @allegrak.bsky.social and the politics editorial team for turning this Head Start kid into a Black woman who writes for the public.

NEW REVIEW — #ViolentEnds has all the tropes, all of them. www.mediaversityreviews.com/film-reviews...

NEW REVIEW — It's not often you find a workplace comedy that weaves in the stressors of parenting into its shenanigans. NBC series #StDenisMedical does just that; Season 2 premieres next week, I'll be watching! www.mediaversityreviews.com/tv-reviews/2...

NEW REVIEW — I just finished the third season of #TheDiplomat and really enjoyed it. Updated my diversity review to include newer info. In short, the show's writing gets a little stronger/funnier, but it takes a step back on inclusivity :P www.mediaversityreviews.com/tv-reviews/2...

Dennis Lim’s introduction to the Channel’s Edward Yang retrospective is personal, political, and just spot-on. www.youtube.com/watch?v=BnY7...

I mean so what if bluesky is a retirement home for people who’ve been online too long, we get our little bingo nights & whatever popping.

I had polar opposite responses to two 2025 Ethan Hawke projects. The Lowdown, he’s a delightful dirtbag surrounded by goofy, compelling characters. Blue Moon, he’s an obnoxious dirtbag that had me wishing I could spend more time with the supporting cast. Great read on why 👇

NEW REVIEW — The dreary weather in Seattle is making me want to hide out in a movie theater this weekend. Richard Linklater's newest film #BlueMoon could fit the bill as a cozy diversion, but the sexism is 🙄 and the story ... 🥱 Might want to skip this one www.mediaversityreviews.com/film-reviews...

Misty Copeland took one last spin on her pointe shoes Wednesday, as she retired after a trailblazing career in which she became an ambassador for diversity in an overwhelmingly white art form. n.pr/3JcRkWM

It's another Popcorn Disabilities Friday! This time I'm talking about pretty disabilities, blindness, and my issues with Audrey Hepburn's WAIT UNTIL DARK. Subscribe now to read it! [Paywall] thefilmmaven.com/audrey-hepbu...

NEW REVIEW — New release weekend! Unfortunately, Luca Guadagnino's latest, #AfterTheHunt, leaves a lot to be desired. @supergavigator.bsky.social examines the film's approach to gender, race, and queer representation: www.mediaversityreviews.com/film-reviews...

and here’s the second one to keep you going

I watched Boots for the plot

Is the United States an oligarchy? Yes. Yes it is.

NEW REVIEW — Our mission is to celebrate inclusive storytelling, and miniseries #ADiwaliDilemma is precisely the type of passion project we like to support. YouTube episodes start releasing on #Diwali on Oct 20th 🪔 www.mediaversityreviews.com/film-reviews...

Let her rest jfc

Just got home. Showed my college students McQueen’s LOVERS ROCK tonight. First time seeing it since SINNERS and there’s some overlap. One of my bright students brought that up.

I really hope the AI bubble bursts soon. So sick and tired of them shoving it into everything whether it makes sense or not.

This looks so funny 🤌🏻
