Remember when Ghostbusters was a comedy? I do. Good times. Well, here we are with another Ghostbusters sequel that doesn’t quite get it. The original two ghostbusters films took its supernatural backstories and villains seriously… it was the characters that … Continue reading
The American Society of Magical Negroes is a social satire with a good idea but a wobbly presentation. I certainly appreciate the satirical takedown of the old magical negro film trope but I felt it unevenly poked and prodded. Plus … Continue reading
