In Your Satin Tights, Fighting for Your Rights

I have finished watching the 1970s Wonder Woman, which looks to have been set up as a rather campy show in the vein of the 60s Batman, if perhaps not quite as silly. This is shown in the opening credits, … Continue reading →

Uh…Subs?

Saturday Morning All-Star Hits! – This was something Beth had heard of, an eight-episode Netflix series spoofing cartoons from the late 80s and early 90s. In addition to the cartoons themselves, there are some subplots that develop throughout the show. … Continue reading →

Truth in Cinema

Wonder Woman 1984 – I know this movie didn’t do so well at the box office. That might be partially because of COVID, but it definitely had some problems. I’d heard some stuff about Gal Gadot being anti-Palestinian, which is … Continue reading →

Meeting at the Centre

So, I saw the Justice League movie, but not THAT one. Instead, it was the animated one from 2008, Justice League: The New Frontier, which I put on our Netflix queue years ago. There were several DC animated movies, all … Continue reading →

Diana, Diana, Diana, I Would Die for You

Wonder Woman – I hadn’t seen any of the last few movies based on DC Comics (I don’t think I have since the Christopher Nolan Batman trilogy), and I hadn’t heard good things about them. I got the impression they … Continue reading →

Matriarchy on My Mind

It seems to me like, ever since Men’s Rights Activists were revealed to be an actual thing, I’ve seen frequent accusations of people being MRAs. The way I see it, you can be misogynistic without being an MRA. That particular … Continue reading →
