The God’s Not Dead franchise is an easy one to hate… but I like to give each film a chance. And sometimes that means ignoring its self-righteous, delusional take on American Christianity. The franchise tends to believes in the persecution … Continue reading
Chasing Amy is Kevin Smith’s third film and is known as an important milestone in ’90s queer cinema… as told by a straight white dude. And while it’s a good film, everyone these days seems to agree that it hasn’t … Continue reading
