Almost every season, without fault, there’s a show that just …gets to you. One that touches something inside you, one that speaks to a part of your soul. One that makes you say, yes, this is my new obsession. For…
#FemaleFilmmakerFriday: 5 Reasons You Should Know C Fitz
C Fitz is probably one of those filmmakers you could recognize if we were in the kind of world who gives filmmakers the credit they deserve. She’s, at the very least, the kind of woman in Hollywood you would know…
‘Your Perfect Episode of TV’ Roundtable
The question has been going around for a while. What’s the perfect episode of TV, or at least, what’s your perfect episode? And – of course, it’s impossible to agree on such a thing. We haven’t all watched the same…
‘Pearson’ 1×09 Review: How to Change the World
As Pearson’s “The Rival” so clearly showed us, it’s awfully hard to change the world. In fact, sometimes, it feels almost impossible. Especially coming from the place Angela is coming from, a place of being beaten down so many times,…
