Hello everyone, welcome back to Ryan Reviews! This week Ryan goes over Lightyear, the new Pixar movie that if Ryan was a 90s kid, he would buy a Buzz Lightyear action figure. Ryan goes into how the movie has some actual good queer representation, where the character's sexuality is part of her identity, but thankfully not all of her identity. Ryan also talks about the movie's twist, and it doesn't really explain the twist, which was really annoying, because it really should have explained itself, because it deals with different timelines. 

Hello everyone, welcome back to Ryan Reviews! This week Ryan goes over Spiderhead, a movie based on a New York Times short story, that would have worked better a limited series.

Ryan also talks about how the movie's plot twists aren't that surprising, except one, but it's super absurd, which is what the movie needed more of.

This week Ryan goes over Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, another installment into the MCU, which sadly didn't as much madness, as one might think.

Ryan also talks about how the movie doesn't really explain that many things, and the thing that are explained, they're not that imaginative. 

Hello everyone, welcome back to Ryan Reviews! This week Ryan goes over Front Cover, a drama movie masquerading as a rom-com, which feels like a gut punch. Ryan goes into how even though the movie does bring up some good issues in the fashion and entertainment industry, it doesn't delve too deep into it, which it felt like it should. Ryan also talks about the problematic nature of certain characters in the film, which wasn't good, because they are one of the main characters. 

Hello everyone, welcome back to Ryan Reviews! This week Ryan goes over Tangerine, a hidden gem about friendship, through the eyes of two transgender women of color, where they feel so much more than characters.

Ryan also talks about how the movie's writer/director really honored the characters, even though seeming to not having any shared experiences with the characters.

Hello everyone, welcome back to Ryan Reviews! This week Ryan goes over The Half Of It, a queer friendship story about love in platonic and romantic ways.

Ryan also talks about how the movie deals with a lot of queer issues through the main character, and her love interest, and how it is hard for the two women to be together in a small town, where Catholicism is quite big, which feels like many can relate to that feeling. 

Hello everyone, welcome back to Ryan Reviews! This week Ryan goes over The Perfection, a lesbian horror thriller, where the lesbians don't die in the end!
