The Small Screen Diaries- 06/18/25

I need to find a WordPress theme that works for me. I guess this current one has no search bar? I’m sorry about that, and I’ll be seeing if I can fix the issues of this one, or change it again. I just had an old theme that was centered a lot around having places for images I don’t use, so I wanted something that matches what I do, and wasn’t image driven. it shouldn’t be that hard.

Tribeca 2025: The Travel Companion

Just when you think you’re out, Tribeca pulls you right back in. With one final hanging review, the travel Companion is the kind of film festivals were born to showcase. These directors are not well known, the cast has limited credits to their name, and yet, this is one of those human condition movies carefully disguised as a comedy/drama. Like most films seeking distribution, this doesn’t have an audio description track, so my ability to nail down a firm grade on a narrative feature drifted away. I remain optimistic a strong distributor will back this, and describe it. Basically, Simon … Continue reading Tribeca 2025: The Travel Companion

The Small Screen diaries: The Weekly Rankings

Another day, another dollar. Another week, another set of shows being ranked. Some new shows debuted, like FUBAR (Netflix), Next Gun NYC (peacock), and Sherlock and daughter (MAX), but also a great time to catch up on some old shows, including Euphoria (MAX), Breaking Bad (Netflix), King of The Hill (Hulu), and Futurama (Hulu). WINNER: Hacks (MAX) with audio description- Hacks wins the week again. Two episodes still left, so it shouldn’t be losing its spot anytime soon. But, can Hacks sweep the Emmys? That’s the question. Justice for Hannah Einbinder! Runner Up: Sirens (Netflix) with audio description- I’m obsessed. … Continue reading The Small Screen diaries: The Weekly Rankings

Sinners

Ryan Coogler is on fire. Don’t be alarmed. it is a good kind of fire, like the heat a bright young filmmaker brings to every project. I think every project of Coogler’s is either an A or A-, which is a strong consistency rate. most directors can’t have that level of output, and for Coogler, he’s been doing it through other people’s stories, until now. Sinners is his first original film, not based on a previous work or someone’s life story, and it shows us the kind of director Coogler could be when not having to work within the confines … Continue reading Sinners

The Small Screen Diaries- 06/12/25

June 12th, 2016. It has been nine years since the Pulse massacre, and while I was not there, and didn’t lose any friends, I did have friends who lost people, and I witnessed our community react to an act of hate against the LGBTQ community. I never can let this day pass without acknowledging that 49 people were lost, and all they wanted to do was have fun and dance. They were killed for who they were. Our country still isn’t doing enough to push back against homophobia, and under this current administration seems apt to run right into it. … Continue reading The Small Screen Diaries- 06/12/25

Tribeca 2025: We Are pat!

this documentary reminded me a lot of one from last year, Chasing Chasing Amy, where a filmmaker tackled a problematic representation of LGBTQ culture and not only shared how it might have brought them some joy, but also how it is now permanently trapped in time. That phrase we so often use, “it was different back then”, or any comparable phrase to suggest that people in the past really didn’t know any better. In Chasing Chasing Amy, Kevin Smith participated, along with various cast members, to dissect its effect on lesbian culture, and how a cisgender straight white man might … Continue reading Tribeca 2025: We Are pat!
