'The Bold Type' Is Light & Fun but Not Stupid

There was a moment in Season 2, Episode 2 of “The Bold Type” that made me pause the (illegally UK streaming) playback and genuinely think. Kat (Aisha Dee), a biracial young woman and therefore the first ‘Black’ Social Media Director of Cosmo stand-in Scarlet magazine, is told to write a

Fuckboy of the Month: All the Dudes from 'Gilmore Girls'

As many of you probably know, I've been rewatching and recapping "Gilmore Girls" since August 2017. I forget why I decided to do it (a Sisyphean complex, most likely), but I definitely regret it; "Gilmore Girls" is not a good show. Everyone is white,

Interview with Kier-La Janisse About Her New Book 'Cockfight'

If you know me IRL, you're probably aware that I have pretty bad insomnia that I've only recently gotten under control (with the help of Purple Urkle and a relocation to the Midwest). When I can't sleep, I usually either a) try to work

'One Sings, the Other Doesn't' (1977) by Agnes Varda

Vibe: "One Sings, the Other Doesn't" is a Disney-esque fairy tale musical, but with nudity, abortion, and suicide. At the time, it annoyed many critics who found it unrealistic or polarizing. Spoiler alert: most of those critics were men, although Pauline Kael was also not a
