| Big on the Internet, podcasts By Princess Weekes on Wed,12:53 Here are eight podcasts that are keeping us sane and intellectually stimulated as we persist during our commutes. Read More > Movies, #MeToo Movement, Olivia Munn, The Predator By Chelsea Steiner on Wed,12:00 In the interview, Munn discusses the fallout of her speaking out against the casting of a convicted sex offender, which led to her co-stars ditching joint interviews and remaining silent during the Toronto International Film Festival press tour and film premiere. Read More > Movies, DCEU, Henry Cavill, Superman By Princess Weekes on Wed,11:03 The Warner Bros. rumor mill has just got another go-round, as The Hollywood Reporter is claiming exclusive inside info—though neither side of the issue has yet commented—that Henry Cavill is exiting as the Man of Steel in upcoming DCEU movies. Read More > Movies & TV, Ava DuVernay, gender representation, Geneva Robertson-Dworet, Patty Jenkins By Kate Gardner on Wed,8:30 A new study has been released that confirms what we knew to be true already: series with women creators and executives tend to hire more women for behind the camera positions, as well as feature more female characters. Read More > Big on the Internet, Taika Waititi, TIFF By Vivian Kane on Tue,5:41 Technically, it was on the internet yesterday, but if you missed it, Taika Waititi gave a Master Class talk at TIFF and it's likely the best thing you'll see today. Read More > Movies, Batman (character), DCEU, Kit Harington By Chelsea Steiner on Tue,5:03 With Ben Affleck set to hang up his sad Batman cape, everyone is wondering who will step into the Caped Crusader's shoes. Now, rumor has it that Jon Snow himself, Kit Harington, is in the running. Read More > Movies, Jennifer Garner, Peppermint, racism By Princess Weekes on Tue,4:52 A White Woman's Life Is Ruined by Mexican Drug Gangs: The Movie. That's Peppermint in a nutshell, and it is that nutshell that makes the movie so difficult to enjoy, which sucks because it cannot be overstated how much of a badass Jennifer Garner is in this movie. Read More > News, Norm MacDonald, sexual misconduct, women in comedy By Vivian Kane on Tue,4:47 Norm Macdonald has a new show coming to Netflix this week, which I guess is enough of a reason for major media outlets to ask his opinion on current issues, even though said show is going to be distinctly non-topical. As for whether you'll actually want to hear those opinions, that's up to you, but as a warning, they're probably even worse than you're expecting. Read More > TV, Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who, Doctor Who Season 11 By Rachel Leishman on Tue,4:21 New Doctor Show showrunner Chris Chibnall is saying there will be no River Song, no Daleks, and no Missy in upcoming season of Doctor Who. To which I say, "But why?" Read More > TV, Melissa Benoist, Supergirl (TV show), The CW By Chelsea Steiner on Tue,3:41 The first trailer for Supergirl just dropped, giving us a peek at all the exciting new stuff coming in season four. Read More > Movies, Netflix, Shannon Purser, Sierra Burgess is a Loser By Rachel Leishman on Tue,3:17 If you were excited about 'Sierra Burgess Is A Loser,' I regret to inform you that the Netflix movie isn't great. Not in the sense that it is a bad movie, but rather the message of it is rather infuriating. Read More > TV, dana scully, gender representation, The X-Files By Kate Gardner on Tue,3:10 "In Gillian Anderson’s own words, Scully’s character 'manifested a woman not yet depicted on TV, and as the fan response soon proved, a desperately needed role model for women of all ages, everywhere.'" Read More > AMP Featured, TV, Ciri, Lauren S. Hissrich, Netflix, the witcher By Princess Weekes on Tue,1:47 Earlier in the week it was announced that the upcoming Netflix show The Witcher, based on the books, was planning to cast a Black, Asian and minority ethnic (BAME) actress in the major role of Ciri. Now the showrunner is taking a break from Twitter. Read More > News, #MeToo Movement, sexual abuse, time's up By Tori Bilcik on Tue,1:44 In the last year alone, the #MeToo and Time’s Up movements have made top news headlines and sparked a reckoning on the prevalence of sexual violence worldwide. But there's an irony that survivors and advocates are grappling with: as sex crimes grow more visible in media and victims receive more positive responses from the community, other survivors bear the emotional weight of seeing that news on a daily basis.
