“Her [Sarah Polley] latest, Stories We Tell (which opens today in limited release), is a genre-bending documentary that focuses on Polley’s own relationships with her family. Coming from a family full of loud personalities and eager storytellers, Polley interviews her relatives about the biggest personality of them all—her late mother, Diane, who had her fair share of secrets.”

“My Fridays are always spent at some film studio office interviewing authors of future blockbuster franchises. A couple weeks ago, it was Lionsgate and Veronica Roth—the author of Divergent, Insurgent and the upcoming Allegiant. No big deal.”

“Thought it was by far one of the best episodes we’ve watched all season (A WHOLE SEASON! We’ve been through so much!). It was fun and faster-paced. And made up (not entirely) for that last dreadful stretch of episodes. I think the addition of Drusilla, for me, always helps an episode. She’s so great. I want her in all the episodes. Also, Robert Hays could totally get it.”

“There were so many chase scenes in this episode. It’s been really interesting the way the show has been playing with genre–but I think it failed again.”

“I feel like everything other than Don is more compelling to me because he’s just in this constant state of progressing and then regressing. As of late it’s clearly the latter, but I think the thing that’s frustrating and while it’s much more subtext than text is that it seems that Don believes there’s nothing he can do to change. But it feels like he doesn’t ever ACTUALLY try to change.”

“We watched Formula 407–which returned very much to a standard Wonder Woman episode. There were most certainly no aliens. I enjoyed this episode–I thought the pacing was good so it moved quickly and didn’t drag. I mean there were some parts that INFURIATED me.”

“Created and written by Erica Oyama and directed by Ken Marino, Burning Love has been a spot-on satire of dating shows, primarily The Bachelor and The Bachelorette. Everything from the production value of the shots to the lavish communal home the contestants share to the convoluted date ideas (a puppet show! Exercising!) make you feel like you are actually watching a reality show. Burning Love’s excruciating attention to detail in recreating The Bachelor’s absurd ambiance is a crucial part of what makes the show such an enjoyable commentary on the toxic gender and dating norms many reality shows spread.”

“Artistic mediums always have innovators, those people who weren’t afraid to try new things with paint, words, light, film. Director Jeffery Schwarz’s new film I Am Divine creates a portrait of how revolutionary drag superstar Divine brought drag from society’s margins to the mainstream in his fearless and innovative way.”

“I really enjoyed this episode–it’s the first in awhile that’s engaged me and kept me interested. I thought the episode had much more of a noir feel that some of the earlier episodes had that I liked, Nazi top agent Wotan was creepy and I even got some David Lynch vibes in one scene. I mean, we will have to discuss the plausibility of the main plot, but overall I really liked the episode.”

“So, the finale happened and it was interesting? I know this show is still finding its legs and hopefully we’ll get another season for it to do so but the finale was kinda a letdown. Mainly because it used some of the most tried and true teen tropes without regard to what our characters would ACTUALLY do.”
