Today’s episode is more of a personal development than an analysis, since the dream I’ll be discussing is a recurring dream of mine. I try to get to the root of the issue and find a resolution.

Pardon by sound effects in this watch-a-long episode for the 1977 film Empire of the Ants. Empire of the Ants is a science fiction horror film co-scripted and directed by Bert I. Gordon. Based very loosely on the 1905 short story "Empire of the Ants" by H. G. Wells, the film involves a group of prospective land buyers led by a land developer, pitted against large mutated ants.

It is the third and last film released in A.I.P.'s H.G. Wells film cycle, which include The Food of the Gods (1976) and The Island of Dr. Moreau (1977). The films stars daytime TV diva Joan Collins.

Before I Wake is a 2016 American horror film directed and edited by Mike Flanagan and co-written by Flanagan and Jeff Howard. The film stars Kate Bosworth, Thomas Jane, Jacob Tremblay, Annabeth Gish, and Dash Mihok. As with all my film episodes...SPOILER ALERT. You can watch the film on Netflix.

Foster parents Mark (Thomas Jane) and Jessie (Kate Bosworth) welcome 8-year-old Cody (Jacob Tremblay) into their home. The boy tells Jessie that he's terrified to fall asleep, but she assumes it's just a natural fear for any young child. Mark and Jessie must now uncover the truth behind Cody's mysterious ability before his imagination harms them all.

Teen Witch is a 1989 American teen fantasy comedy film directed by Dorian Walker, written by Robin Menken and Vernon Zimmerman, and starring Robyn Lively and Zelda Rubinstein. You can watch the film here (free).

High-school nerd Louise Miller (Robyn Lively) learns from psychic Madame Serena (Zelda Rubinstein) that she's possessed with magical abilities that will begin working on her 16th birthday. When the prophecy proves true, the teenager uses her new powers to get what she's always desired: popularity. After getting back at some bullies, the young witch casts a spell over hunky jock Brad Powell (Dan Gauthier). But Louise soon learns that getting what you want isn't all it's cracked up to be.

So the other day I was messaging with my friends about this Instagram video by comedian Wellington Ojukwu (https://www.instagram.com/tv/COTFjWSnSh0/). In the video he talked how too many movies and TV shows about black people or the black experience are often centered around trauma, violence against Black people, and hopelessness. I was just standing in my bathroom, getting ready to go to bed, and thinking about the films and tv shows mentioned. It made me think of this quote by Jane Espenson. She is a television writer and producer who served in those roles on Buffy the Vampire Slayer for five years. The quote goes: "If we can't write diversity into sci-fi, then what's the point? You don't create new worlds to give them all the same limits of the old ones." I want to emphasize the second sentence because it’s what came to mind when thinking about the conversation with my friends the day before.
