The problem is that we (collectively) assume that girls’ films are for girls and boys’ films are for everyone. Girl films end up with a budget that’s substantially smaller than supposedly universal (but really male) films. Big budget movies get a bigger marketing push, which leads to awards and audiences.

Yeah, the movie is worryingly anti-German. The conflict is portrayed as savages vs gentlemen, which is absolutely not supported by history.
It’s not performative, it’s a real thing. Our culture views stories about men and violence as being more important than stories about women and relationships. This is a simple fact.
Underrated line in Casablanca: “I like to think you killed a man. It’s the romantic in me.” Claude Rains’ delivery of that whole speech is *chef’s kiss*, but that particular line is a personal favorite.
Thanks for introducing me to Josh Stone, Av Club. I was just wondering, "what if Logan Paul did roids and was worse?"
This is the most I’ve ever laughed in relation to a video game:
Next step is to create fake IMDb pages for all of these. No one would ever notice.
Oooh, Jorja Smith would be amazing.
It’s literally impossible to think of a worse movie than some of the movies that actually exist in the world.
Punch Drunk Love is also a marvel
Also: animal-human hybrids in a post-apocalyptic earth? Clearly this was a Cats prequel.
For me, this was the episode that killed off any hope of Yaz becoming a proper character.
I'm sure the Star Wars fandom are far too reasonable for such behavior.
“This is a legend from the beforetime, from the long-long ago...”
The focus group sketch is superb, and yet it was only the second-best focus group sketch on Netflix in 2019.
I’ve never seen a more blatant cult-classic-in-waiting than Cats. I can’t wait to attend raucous midnight screenings in the 2040s and tell people that I was there at the beginning.
The two tall ones balance out the short one
I also fell asleep during Cats, mainly due to post-Xmas food coma. My companions liked it enough to drag me back for a second viewing. I voluntarily went to a third and there might be a fourth. Once you accept Cats for what it is, it's a rip-roaring good time.
