United We Dream

There’s a internet sequence out referred to as No Borders, Simply Flavors! It is from United We Dream, which is a youth immigrant rights group. It is a cooking present of younger immigrants, and it’s simply so fantastic. It’s lovely, and sort, and scrumptious. I’ve actually loved watching it, partly as a result of I really feel like a lot of the information about immigrant youth is so darkish and horrible. It is good to have some pleasure and see some pleasure of that have. I might additionally say one of many issues the present does very well shouldn’t be attempting to humanize younger immigrants — what it is doing is celebrating them and displaying the ways in which immigrants enrich our tradition and the sweetness and heat and love and nice flavors of it. It is simply been a pleasure for me to observe, and I hope lots of people get to test it out and reside that pleasure as effectively.

The podcast You Should Keep in mind This has had seasons which have coated a whole lot of tales in regards to the historical past of Hollywood, however nothing has actually pulled me in fairly just like the earlier season, which was referred to as “Erotic 80s,” and the present season, which is known as “Erotic 90s.” I feel these reveals are so fascinating and so they’re so maddening as a result of one of many issues Karina Longworth is superb at … she has form of an curiosity within the connection between what is going on in motion pictures and what’s occurring within the wider world. … What she’s speaking about, sure, it is erotic ’90s, it is the way in which that intercourse was enjoying out in movie at the moment. But it surely additionally has rather a lot to do with sexism extra usually and what was occurring with actors and actresses.
The Thelma & Louise episode has simply come out and I’ve not listened to it but, however I did simply hearken to an episode about Theresa Russell and Sondra Locke. Teresa Russell is an actress from that point who was doing a whole lot of very attractive motion pictures. Sondra Locke turned well-known partly as a result of she sued Clint Eastwood, who had been her longtime associate, however Sondra Locke was additionally a gifted actor and director. And there is a complete story of how her profession was primarily sabotaged on account of that battle that I discovered extremely compelling.
I might hear to love 4 or 5 seasons of “Erotic 90s” since you’re now within the candy spot of the films that form of had been popping out after I was growing an curiosity in movie and eager about movie. I like them.
