sasha_feather: She is played by Tig Notaro and is on Star Trek disco (Jett Reno)
Long Shot - Hulu, movie.

Charlize Theron and Seth Rogen, silly romcom. They play childhood friends who run into each other again. He's a recently-fired journalist, she's secretary of state who needs to inject some humor into her speeches. This was ridiculous and I loved it.

I used to dislike Seth Rogen but I've completely changed my mind about him. He's funny and nice. Charlize Theron gets to be so funny in this. They have good chemistry as the work-focused, serious woman and the guy who respects her and makes her laugh. The kind of het couple I can root for.

The politics were light and unrealistic and best not looked at too closely.

Vida - Hulu, series.

I found this too stressful, so quit after a few episodes, but others on here may like it. It's a family drama that features an all-Latiné cast and many queer characters. 2 sisters return home for their mother's funeral, and it appears they will stay to manage her bar and building. There is a fair amount of graphic sex and nudity. One of the sisters gives big Miss Parker vibes (from the 90s show the Pretender, intensely private, high-powered dominatrix type). Family dramas like this (think Fleabag) are not my genre, because all the characters seem so utterly miserable. But I think others view them differently; IDIC and YMMV.

Media report!

Went to a matinee of "Black Panther: Wakanda Forever" with my friend Rebecca. She noticed this showing had open captions and thought I might like that, and I did! I guess this movie is popular enough to warrant such a showing. It was just us and 2 other people in the theater.

I liked the film a lot, but felt it was too long at 2 hours 41 minutes. I've said it before, they should bring back the intermission. Let me have a bathroom break and get some snacks without missing the movie!

It was very beautiful to watch, and I especially liked that most of the characters in it are Black women.

I listened to the "Overinvested" podcast about my current fav, Andor.

I don't know that I learned much from this podcast ep particularly, but it was very nice to hear people enthuse about the show. I disagree with something Gavia Baker-Whitelaw said, a minor point really, but this is often why I find pop culture pod casts frustrating: who is there to listen to me argue? It's too one-sided. I have a lot of opinions about media! So I suppose I'll write it out here. Spoilers for Andor under the cut.

I like animated short films. Here is a lovely one in the form of an ad for Apple. (There is a much shorter version that plays on Hulu.)
