My Meandering Thoughts on the Media I Consumed in 2022

I gotta be honest, I didn’t write as many essays and reviews as I wanted to this year. There were a few reasons for that, but it was mostly because I had a bunch of ideas for what I wanted to write that went unresolved. This anxiety also affected the…

“Do Revenge”: A Product of White Girl Y2k Nostalgia

“Nope, Never Seen It”: The Original Star Wars Trilogy

(Originally published on Glen’s Lens at WordPress on May 5th, 2020) Back when I frequented nerdy social circles (as if I ever really stopped), one of my favorite pastimes was telling them that I’d never seen Star Wars. Their shock was immense and immediate; it was as if I told…

Brandy’s “Cinderella” Deserves Her Flowers

(Originally published on Glen’s Lens at WordPress on February 16, 2021) If I were to call any film “underrated”, it’d be the 1997 version of Rodgers and Hammerstein’s Cinderella.

“Mean Girls”: A Time Capsule of Casual Bigotry

Mean Girls needs no introduction. Since its premiere in 2004, the teen comedy directed by Mark Waters and written by Tina Fey permeated the public consciousness in a way no other teen movie has done since. Its online presence alone has transformed in the 17 years since its premiere, evolving…
