What I hope this film will do, that Mrs. America did not, is highlight Chisholm's heritage as a Bajan woman.

What Will Conventions Look Like in 2021?

We—and the convention going community as a whole, especially our fellow artist alley peeps—hoped that things would be okay come summer. Deep down, though, I knew that the season was over for 2020. Having that many people gathered in a space for a weekend was too risky, so the question became, “What about 2021?”

How the Trump Campaign’s Last Stand Teaches a Lesson in Rape Culture

Donald Trump looks confused.

Trump’s behavior may be shocking to many onlookers, but survivors of abusive relationships have called his incessant gaslighting and refusal to let go hauntingly familiar—and they’re absolutely right. The truth is there are lessons about rape culture that all of us can learn from the Trump campaign's desperate last stand to cling to power.

Kathryn Newton in Freaky

Freaky is a well-paced gory (if not especially scary) romp with a fun script but what makes it special is the performances from Vaughn and Newton.
