I was completely obsessed with the 60s aesthetic of the film when I first saw it, which ironically is in direct opposition to the film’s message: let’s not lust after the past.

Do Revenge flips the script, its queer characters demanding justice regardless of the consequences. I’m curious, however, about the stereotypes that the film tries to avoid and ends up perpetuating anyway - especially sartorially.

when I first saw the trailer for Baz Luhrmann’s Elvis, starring Austin Butler and Tom Hanks, I was worried we were going to get a watered-down version of Elvis’ impact on culture, his appropriation of Black artists, and his toxic relationship with Priscilla. And what we got was a well-written screenplay, with dazzling cinematography, and brilliant performances, that entertained but only scratched the surface, just like I had predicted. But what I hadn’t expected was to enjoy it in spite of the glossy approach it took to Elvis’ story.

We made it y’all. We have survived the Stranger Things drought, and the show is back after all the ups and downs since 2019.

Mimi Cave directs her debut feature film, Fresh with the script provided by Lauryn Kahn. Fresh begins as a fun romantic comedy with twisted undertones, and focuses on a self-assured woman named Noa (Daisy Edgar-Jones) burnt out on dating apps.

CODA took home 3 Acadamy Awards this past Sunday night, including Best Adapted Screenplay and Best Picture. Let’s take a closer look at the script!

In honor of this year’s Academy Awards taking place a week from now, we’re reviewing last year’s Best Original Screenplay winner: the brilliant revenge thriller Promising Young Woman (2020) written and directed by Emerald Fennell.

The show tackles present-day issues in a way that’s heartwarming and surprisingly wise, set against the backdrop of adolescence: a time that’s all about growing up, finding out who you are, and figuring out who you want to be in the world.

I binged this series over the course of two or three days and watched the entire second season in one sitting. Coming from a person who usually doesn’t watch more than one episode of a show at a time, this is highly unusual.

In the next installment of Screenplays Through the Decades, we take a look at the 1960s with The Apartment and The Graduate. They’re both some of the most iconic movies— so let’s break down the screenplays.

The second season of Never Have I Ever dropped July 15 on Netflix and I may or may not have stayed up until 3 AM binging it… Unsurprisingly, I laughed, I cried, and I loved it just as much as the first season.

Black Widow is a film not centered on Natasha. In fact, I would argue she isn’t even framed as the protagonist. This is a film about family and coping with past trauma to varying degrees.

My mom always told me how much she loved Working Girl and how progressive it was, so finally, we sat down and watched it together. I was ready to experience a great, female-led story, ala Nine to Five, but I quickly saw the movie for what it was: a man’s shallow interpretation of what it’s like to be a working woman.

Considering how the past year has been, it makes sense for all of us to relate to a woman who builds her own sitcom dream life to escape grief.

Netflix’s animated series, Big Mouth has everything I’ve ever wanted in a show about the painfully embarrassing parts of puberty. It’s as relatable as it gets.
