The Other Voices: Eve’s Bayou

EVE’S BAYOU, the feature directorial debut from actress Kasi Lemmons, had a $6M budget and an entirely black cast. There are zero white people in this film – not even wandering by in the background – which seems like a pretty amazing feat for 1997 and an unknown director. At the time (and unfortunately for many years to come), conventional wisdom was that dramas strictly about black people simply couldn’t bring in audiences, but EVE’S BAYOU made almost $15M worldwide – more than double its budget – and is a critically loved film that people still talk about today. It’s number 99 on the highest grossing films of 1997, which may sound like a little number, but let’s put that in context. It came out the same year as TITANIC. And MEN IN BLACK. And GROSSE POINTE BLANK. Ok GROSSE POINTE BLANK didn’t do Titanic numbers (nobody did) but it’s a great movie and I’m not going to just skip over it.

6.01: Hostile Makeover

This week on the Venture Bros podcast Bryan Dressel, Nick “Wacky Races” Friedemann, and Matt “Johnny Quest” Dykes talk about the season six opener “Hostile Makeover,” which starts rather abruptly. Turns out there’s a “Special Epilogue” that connects this to “Gargantua-2” that’s absolutely hilarious. Go check it out and then come back. We’ll wait. Oh, you want the link?

Awesome, right? Too bad more TV shows don’t adopt this method of teasing future seasons. Anyway, enjoy this week’s super fun episode.

The Other Voices: The Kids Are Alright

Sexuality is a spectrum. You can be homosexual or heterosexual, bisexual or pansexual, heteroflexible, homoflexible…. That’s your business. And there are subsets of sexuality that describe HOW you feel attraction, not just who you’re attracted to: megasexual, demisexual, asexual, graysexual…. The list goes on. Some people choose not to identify at all, but all of these identities are valid, and sometimes fluid as we grow and change throughout our lives.

In the last couple of years since I became polyamorous, I’ve become more and more interested in the wide spectrum of sexuality and relationship styles, which is why my partner recently recommended I watch the 2010 film directed and written by Lisa Cholodenko, THE KIDS ARE ALL RIGHT.

Petition This!

I remember a time when a film was released, people watched them. And if they didn’t enjoy them or they didn’t like them, they might have gotten annoyed about it or they maybe complained to their friends about how shit it was. Now people seem to think that if they don’t enjoy a film or TV series, they have a right to petition the makers to go back and remake it to how they want it. I, for one, am sick of it.

Episode #290 – Mary Poppins Returns

This week on the podcast we trip a little light fantastic – or at least try to – with Mary Poppins Returns, the “just okay” sequel to the 1964 Disney classic. We have SOME nice things to say about the film…promise! It’s just that most of the positive things involve Emily Blunt. Anyway, hitch a ride on a kite and come join us for this piece of…entertainment.
