It's the first episode of 2024, and What's New to Netflix celebrates the new year when we talk about our favorite and least-favorite titles that we reviewed last year! We also go over everything hitting Netflix in January, and *spoiler alert* it's not too awesome.

Later, we analyze the new Todd Haynes film, May December, from last month. Also, we give The Super Mario Bros. Movie a chance, but does it lean too heavily on nostalgia, or do we, when we spend most of the time speaking about the previous Mario Bros. film from 1993. And also from last year, Zack Snyder turned his would-be Star Wars movie into Rebel Moon: Part One - A Child of Fire, and it couldn't be a more Zack Snyder film if it wanted to be.

All of this plus Quentin Tarantino ripping off old movies, John Wick still going and going, Mamma Mia! having us wonder if Pierce Brosnan can sing, Kevin Hart getting a little serious, the 'real world' of the Floribama Shore, and we have started a campaign to get Netflix to #ReleasetheButtholeCut of Cats (2019)!

Todd Haynes on Arthur Stuart

OM: I think you would agree that the character who most personalizes the film and makes it so emotional is Arthur. He's not just the guy who walks around asking what Rosebud is.

TH: Arthur is me. He's you. He's the fan who becomes part of the story, the silhouette who has the light turned onto him. I still have a crush on him, the character, and it's largely due to Christian [Bale's] performance - there's just something so heartbreaking about it. I still can't be completely objective about Arthur. It is a very difficult part to play, and much less inviting than the more colorful roles in the film. But the weight on that character/actor to carry the film and ground you emotionally, and give you a consistent point of entry into the story - through all of these flashbacks and dizzying whirlwind of memories - was enormous. I think Christian rose to the occasion and presented us with a consistent point of ourselves as the public who buys the music. The film had to have a really strong fan point of view, not just as a framework for letting Mandy and the rest tell the story. He is there for us as a reminder of our place in the cycle of pop and consumer culture, that we're really central to it. Something about that cycle - where the kiss between Brian and Curt is photographed, the photograph gets printed, it goes through the press, it gets sold at the newsstand, some little kid in Manchester buys it, he takes it home, he opens it up, and it gives him an erection - is very real. There's something palpable about intercutting the public sexuality of the rock stars with the very private, unknown sexuality of the consumer, and how one directly affects the other. I think it all has to do with the tremendous joy that rock performers get from performing their music, the sexual connection to the audience, which film-makers cannot experience. To have lived a live moment with an audience, where some kind of charge is being let out on one end and taken in on the other, is pretty amazing. It's also why rock speaks to adolescents. They are most in need and most open to all kinds of charges like that, because it's not yet codified, or genderized or labelled.

Black Fantasy TBR Part 1

I know you said you’ve gone back into it slowly but any book recs?

yes absolutely!! i have read some bangers lately tbh. also another thing i am trying to do is start uuuh reviewing what i'm reading so i will link a couple of those as well. but here is a sporadic collection of my reading enjoyments of the last year or so!

IF FOUND RETURN TO HELL // THE DEATH I GAVE HIM by Em X. Liu

em is hands down one of the best writers i know with prose that will punch you in the face and leave you asking if you can have another, please.

IF FOUND RETURN TO HELL is a queer found family novella featuring a done-with-this protag working in a wizarding call centre who abruptly comes down with a case of 'sweet angel baby boy possessed by demon hell child' in a broken magical healthcare system where following protocol is more important than like, helping people. so what is journeyman wen to do if not, you know, help anyway?

THE DEATH I GAVE HIM is the queer scifi hamlet retelling of my dreams, which is funny because i didn't care about hamlet until this book taught me how to. a thoughtful exploration on the nature of adaptation, death & immortality, and also what happens when your best friend is an AI and you wanna fuck him.

IN COLD BLOOD by Truman Capote the original true crime novel. still stuck in my truman blorbo moment. full review here

ASSASSIN'S APPRENTICE by Robin Hobb classic 90s fantasy with surprisingly emotional focus on the protag in a way i really dug. unhinged levels of accidental queerbaiting in a way that i enjoyed rather than despaired of. full review here.

PANDORA'S JAR: WOMEN IN THE GREEK MYTHS by Natalie Haynes a great overview of classical women that takes into account multiple sources and the way they have been read over centuries, and how the time in which a tale is being told affects the tale just as much as what the text of the story actually is. does a good job of walking the middle ground between like, historical sexism and the reflexive girlbossification instinct.

IN OTHER LANDS by Sarah Rees Brennan the queer harry potter offshoot we all actually deserve. portal fantasy with an acerbic main character who will save the world out of sheer spite because the world doesn't seem to think he can save it, or want him to do it even if he could. a genuinely lovely musing on the nature of loneliness, what abuse does to a child, how it's hard but possible to overcome the prejudices you learn when you're young, and how eventually, you're going to have to make the decision to let yourself be loved.

SHE WHO BECAME THE SUN by Shelley Parker-Chan truly i don't have the word for how fucking excellent this queer epic fantasy is. set in mongol-ruled china, this book is a masterclass in political intrigue, historical fiction, military fantasy, and also genderfuckery. feat. the kind of tragedy you see coming for several hundred pages and still takes your breath away when it hits, and also lesbian fisting. anyone who says books based in history can't get queer can get fucked.

A MARVELLOUS LIGHT by Freya Marske for a total 180 in mood, here is your queer romantic fantasy set in an Edwardian England that is reflective of the fact that like, queer people did in fact exist in Edwardian England. A lighter fare that nonetheless will hit you right in the heart and leave you delighted that a) there's a second book out now and b) the third one is coming soon. also Freya is an Artiste when it comes to writing good sex scenes, which

i belatedly realise it seems like i'm focusing on in this post but i just! like a queer text that tackles queer sex with nuance and interest and the horror and/or joy of the body, and the above authors are all fucking masters at their art (which includes, but by no means is limited to, writing about fucking)

"And so we are left - as Ptolemy's curious list suggests - with an array of Helens, none of whom seem quite real, and all of whom seem to represent the desire of their creators. Look at the certainty with which Achilles is drawn - his speed, his anger, his love for Patroclus, his commitment to honour and immortality through fame: he is defined by what he wants, and strives for, and loses. And then we think of Helen, and how much harder she is to pin down: her confused parentage, her contested childhood, her multiple marriages. One of our earliest narrative traditions states the most notorious facts about her - that she elopes with Paris - is actually a lie: the real Helen is elsewhere, while a war is fought over an unreal creature, an image. In fact, the more we try to understand her, the more she eludes us: Helen of Troy, Helen of Sparta, Helen of joy, Helen of slaughter." - Natalie Haynes, Pandora's Jar: Women in the Greek Myths

There’s a new book out on the history of Sarah Records and it’s a whopper! It’s so thick and full of all things Sarah and the Bristol scene at that time. It will definitely be taking me on a trip down memory lane and bringing back all those forgotten memories of days gone by. The 1st print run has almost sold out but don’t worry another run is planned. The book’s written by Bristol author Jane Duffus & if you buy the book, you might also spot some of my photos!

Ahh I miss those days where you could go to a gig and come back with a fanzine and a flexi for 50p and then spend hours reading up of all these new and exciting bands that wouldn’t get the slightest mention in the music press.

Last night was the official launch of the book and we were treated to a really interesting interview with Matt Haynes who recounted the trials and tribulations of the label. Afterwards Blueboy who hadn’t played for 30 years gave us a ½ hour acoustic set and it sounded great. It was all very sweet. I didn’t manage to grab the one and only setlist this time but it went to a deserving guy who had travelled from Madrid for the gig and kindly let me take a photo.

Pics of The Interview, Blueboy

Song Review: Willie Nelson and Friends - “On the Road Again” and “Happy Birthday” (Live, April 30, 2023)

Just when it seems the world can’t possibly use another version of “On the Road Again,” Willie Nelson releases an “On the Road Again” the world didn’t know it needed.

Recorded April 30, 2023, at the Hollywood Bowl with a bunch of friends - the Avett Brothers, Sheryl Crow, Warren Haynes, Jamey Johnson, Lyle Lovett, the Lumineers, Lukas Nelson, Kris Kristofferson, Jack Johnson, Rosanne Cash, Beck and Charley Crockett among them - and paired with “Happy Birthday,” this iteration is full of irresistible joy and wobbly harmony.

Despite the number of singers and players, Nelson, who turned 90 that day, remains in charge, singing the words strongly and coaxing yet another behind-the-beat solo from his trusty sidekick, Trigger. Everyone sings along lustily before it careens to a close and a raucous “Happy Birthday” emerges in its wake.

The cut follows Avetts’ take on “Pick up the Tempo” and Dave Matthews’ performance of “Funny How Time Slips Away” from “WIllie Nelson 90: Live at the Hollywood Bowl,” which will be released Dec. 15 in audio and video formats.

Grade card: Willie Nelson and Friends - “One the Road Again” and “Happy Birthday” (Live - 4/30/23) - A+

Question for traumagenic systems: how would you want someone to portray the topic of trauma in a story ?

so, on top of the portrayal of plural systems as dangerous, another pet peeve of mine when people portray plurality, specifically of any kind of traumagenic origin, is the need to show every detail of the abuse or trauma one went through.

i understand why singlets and even other systems feel the need to do this. it's to help people understand and empathize why someone from a traumagenic or otherwise disordered origin would feel the need to split in response to such stressors and life events. but when you show me a detailed scenario where (TW! CSA/rape) a child is being raped, i feel it borders on trauma porn.

i'm not saying we should eradicate any and all discussion or portrayal of trauma! that would be entirely counterproductive and encourage a culture of shame surrounding what we've been through. but we need to reevaluate why it's so important we know every lurid detail of a character's trauma in order to feel something for them. i don't take issue with reminding people how prevalent abuse/trauma are. i do take issue with it when the depictions of trauma do so not to better explain a character's circumstance or advance their arc, but to indulge in how tragic their backstory was.

i think if you wanna portray traumagenic systems, there are a few good ways to go about it:

show, don't tell: remember in Seven, when (TW! rape) the guy involved in the "Lust" trap had to recount how he was forced to rape a woman in a brutal way, and it was too intense for him to fully put into words? remember how horrifying that was to hear? that's a great example of that. if you want to show a traumagenic system's backstory, have it be told from the perspective of others as opposed to a graphic flashback.

prioritize the survivor/system's voice: a problem i've had with a lot of DID literature that talks about survivors of extreme abuse/trauma, such as Sybil, is how the survivors/systems themselves often don't have a say in what happened to them; it's all told through a narrative filter. while corroborating perspectives within your story definitely wouldn't hurt, always make sure that the person who survived gets the most say in what happened to them.

don't demonize the system for existing: every traumagenic system's experience with their plurality varies, and it's valid for those who struggle with it to speak up. but it's important you don't ever say the system itself is to blame. something every traumagenic system has to accept is that their mind did what it had to do to protect oneself from the reality of the trauma. again, it's valid to be ambivalent, to struggle, and to even want to integrate to the point of fusion/final fusion. but some traumagenic/disordered systems, such as myself, still find joy in our multiplicity. Jeni Haynes, a diagnosed polyfrag DID system of almost 2.7k identities, has said both she and her psychiatrist don't consider her condition to be a mental illness, but rather an act of love. i think more people would better understand and appreciate almost any kind of plurality if seen as that.

i hope this answered your question! lmk if you need me to follow anything up!

My Week(s) in Reviews: December 17, 2023

I have a Christmas party I have to get ready for, so I'm gonna keep these short.

Godzilla Minus One (Takashi Yamazaki, 2023)

Wow. I really could just leave it at that. I don't think I've seen a Godzilla movie that nails both the human aspect and the monster mayhem quite as deftly as this one. It's an exciting and emotionally rich piece of monster cinema, and very well could be one of the very best films of the year. - 8.5/10

The Holdovers (Alexander Payne, 2023)

Genuinely hilarious and sneakily heartfelt. The tender moments play out so naturally that they pack an emotional wallop, then the brilliant Paul Giamatti or Da'Vine Joy Randolph lets out a perfectly delivered line that'll absolutely floor you. And I just love the look of it, every single piece of this film looks and feels like it's straight out of the '70s. So good. This might be my favorite Payne? - 9/10

May December (Todd Haynes, 2023)

The three stellar central performances drive this weird film about the line between fact and fiction, about the areas of grey in the fact that are stranger than fiction. Portman nails the impossible to read actress, Melton wows with his stunted victim-turned-father-turned-husband, and Moore is sneakily fantastic as the woman who has them both wrapped around her manipulatively disturbed finger. Haynes nails the tone, here. - 8/10

Eileen (William Oldroyd, 2023)

Thomasin McKenzie is wonderful, embodies the titular Eileen wholly, making every movement and decision feel completely organic. She's the reason the beats of the final scenes work despite the underwritten screenplay. Anne Hathaway is absolutely fascinating, here, just magnetic and dangerous and one step ahead of all of us. I wanted more of her, so bad. It's also a great looking film. Oldroyd fills these scenes so effectively, keeping us on our toes along the way. But still, something was missing. I blame that underwritten screenplay. Some authors shouldn't adapt themselves. - 7.5/10

The Equalizer 3 (Antoine Fuqua, 2023)

It's okay. When Denzel kicks as, he kicks ass. But there's not a lot going on, here, and what is here feels incredibly anti-climactic. Everything that happens in this movie kinda just happens. Whatever. - 4/10

Blue Beetle (Angel Manuel Soto, 2023)

I remember exactly 1% of this movie. Well, fine, 1% in addition to whatever percentage George Lopez's character adds up to, because holy shit that was an awful, annoying, unnecessarily over-the-top 'performance'. Yikes. - 2/10

Le Mans (Lee H. Katzin, 1971)

Some egos shouldn't be stroked without question, and McQueen's was clearly a major one. This whole movie was just an attempt to get him to race Le Mans. I thought I'd seen this movie, but I think I only ever actually saw the doc about the making of this movie. The racing footage is great, but everything else is either a total mess or a total bore. Except the music... that's pretty great, too. - 4/10

Enjoy!

-Timothy Patrick Boyer.

It’s hard to even make a favorites list for The Wire because every character is memorable and interesting but here’s an attempt

D’Angelo: the first character I felt drawn to, he broke my heart 😭

Omar: duh

Kima: yeah I just like the woman, what can I say? Her “good night Baltimore” scene in s5 is one of my favorites in the show

Bubs: I’m so emotional about this man, he’s smart, funny, charming, his story arc is amazing, and I’m so glad he got clean even though it took a lot to get him there

Prop Joe: every scene he’s in is a delight

Dennis Wise: ultimately an upstanding, admirable man

Colvin: always tries his best even in difficult situations, personally relatable to me as someone who has a hard time surviving in institutions

Michael: a noble, intelligent, but dangerous young man, it’s unbelievably tragic what happened to him yet I can root for him with my whole heart

Namond: punk kid with a heart of gold

Duquan: yeah I wish I was dead when I think about him but what else is new

Randy: he had so much life to him and I just wish he’d been given a chance to make something of himself

Snoop&Chris: I’m listing them together, scary and lethal but a joy to watch

Gus Haynes: competent, cool, and doesn’t take bullshit

#there’s plenty others I really liked (Lester etc) and honestly all characters were cool #but this is me narrowing it down #oh a relatively minor character I was always happy to see was Slim Charles #dude just had a great way of talking
