DISCUSSIONS FROM THE OTHERHOOD

As genre film lovers, when a good one comes out we simply cannot wait to see the next installment! But what happens when a great film is followed up by a horrible sequel? Do you wait for the third installment to right the ship or do you just abandon the entire franchise? What are some of your most maligned sequels? How do you deal with the Terrible Twos? https://www.cheatsheet.com/.../worst-sci-fi-movie.../

As children of the Sexual Revolution most of us were weaned on Ms. Magazine, La Cage Au Folle, (I Am What I AM), Gertrude Stein, and the understanding of Lord Douglas' poem ending with the words, "I am the love that dare not speak its name." And though the poem was written in 1892 Hollywood still seems to struggle with sex and sexuality. Is Hollywood more concerned with eroticizing and exoticizing sexuality? Are there films and TV shows that get it right?. Join us to discuss the ones who get it right and those who get it wrong.

Our cohost James Goodridge recommended a 1977 film, City of Blood (available on Amazon Prime for rent or sale). While watching it we were struck with the recurring theme of our human fascination for manipulated realities. From City of Blood to Westworld, the Matrix and a host of others, join us to discuss the fascination with the manipulation of and living in false realities.

Alfred Hitchcock, Frank's Place, The Outer Limits, Prince Planet, some of our favorite and iconic shows seemingly can't be found anywhere.

Well the gang from the OTHERhood has opened its detective agency with it in mind to track down your favorite lost entertainment fare!

There is a pervasive belief by some so-called “real fans” that “wokeness” is destroying beloved stories of other worlds. “Race-switching” has become “race-baiting;” “diversity” is diluting the purity of our fare. “Representation matters” BUT only if our heroes are represented by “traditional characters.” How do we approach these clashes of culture and consciousness? Join us in the OTHERhood as we explore the basis of these biases and theories on how to disarm them.

Superheroes are lauded as keepers of peace, righters of wrongs and supporting truth, justice and the American way. But what does that really mean? Do our superheroes support the rights of individuals or do they support the Establishment... the systems that we live under? Join us in the OTHERhood as we ask our superheroes, "Whose side are you on?"
