It’s a Captain America mega-episode, where we revisit one of our earliest episodes on First Avenger (now with added Cole Netscape) and the shocking Man Out of Time melancholy of Albert Pyun’s work print cut of Captain America (1990). www.patreon.com/posts/149468...

Putting some of my old grad school work up on my Substack because it’s a shame to make it wither away in my Google Drive for nobody to read. First up is an analysis of the gynoid (female robot) in Ghost in the Shell and Metropolis (the anime one). open.substack.com/pub/nicoleve...
From the Archives - Being a Body: The Commodified Gynoid in Mamoru Oshii's Ghost in the Shell and Rintaro's Metropolis
Or, an academic analysis of the female robot's resistance to phallocentric matrices of power.

I'm starting to think that the "theatrical experience" is kind of a cheat code and that you don't actually know if a movie is really good or not until you've watched it in tv. When I was a kid, and movies could captivate on vhs tape on a 19" crt, that's how you knew it had real zap

Might have better luck here than on Twitter: if you’re a fan of the movie Babylon, what in your opinion makes the movie good to you and why do you think it’s so polarizing?

in a shocking twist ending: it's bad
Next week on Marvelous!, we finally weigh in and cast our judgement on a 2022 flop from an Oscar winning director based on Kenneth Anger’s sordid book of myths, falsehoods, and Hollywood gossip.

Is it good? Is it bad? Is Chazelle reheating nachos again?

Avengers: Doomsday is happening because Speed Racer didn’t make a billion dollars at the box office.
