Resized Repost: Thank you again for this work-inspired commission. I was worried when I saw the movie that the idea would have to be scrapped, but a funny little disclaimer slashed through that and brought this Wolverine/Hugh Jackman project back to life!

Thank you for bringing heart and life to these ideas! For those who don’t remember The Mitchells vs The Machines, Katie Mitchell is just like Kamala Khan. They are the best examples of our pop culture community. They’re creative, collaborative, open, and have that unstoppable DIY spark builds the most fun and engaging art!

For the Cyborg and Rocket piece, I just wondered what they would talk about, especially if they met at different points in their lives. Whatever the conversation, there’s no better moment of bonding I could think of Bucky letting them borrow his arm.

And then I just thought “Superior Orthodontics” was funny. Tell Otto he couldn’t do this and see how far that reverse psychology goes

Again, thank you !

“Your crazy matches my crazy”

Had the best time watching the new with this one .rao (and showing up in cosplay)

X-Men was my first superhero movie, and even critical disasters like Origins: Wolverine hold a weird place in my heart. To all the disenchanted Fox-Marvel fans out there, this is your moment You’ll have the best time.

(Disclaimer, I work for a company making some of the theatre concessions for this movie)

is an absolute blast to see with a crowd on the big screen. I’m so glad it came to in a true testament to what both indie cinema and indie venues can offer in times when we’re feeling a little burned out and need a break from Hollywood

In a world of endless sequels, reboots, and legacy titles, be a fun, heartwarming, q***r, dystopian parody. Abraham Josephine Riesman introduced the film, calling it a revaluation, and her review for is in my bio. I also recommend reading Richard Brody’s as well

Review by Mallika Rao and edited by Jerome Thomson

Denis Villeneuve’s Dune duology is rich with excitement, stunning visuals, and world class actors telling a worlds-spanning story.

Blank Check with Ed and Mallika! Blank Check with Ed and Mallika! Didn’t know what they’d say or what to expect, all we needed to know is the name of the show is Blank Check!

We saw Blank Check on Broadway and had a great time. These guys put on a really fun show, and (as a YouTube hobbyist) it was incredible seeing aspirational/inspirational creators both having fun and really in their element.

Happy 9th to these guys! And thank you Mallika for joining ❤️

Review by new staff writer Mallika Rao

Nyad is a riveting look at female friendship and the body’s resilience

Review of Nyad, starring Annette Bening and Jodie Foster.

Thank you Mallika for helping me write this Madame Web review

The movie isn't excruciating, but it's pretty boring and being anywhere near as bad as Morbius is just straight up unacceptable from a major studio. At least I liked the brief appearance of the costumes

A review of Sony's Spider-Man prequel, Madame Web. It stars Dakota Johnson and Sydney Sweeney. It's directed by S. J. Clarkson.
