This is the kind of entertainment writing that is worth reading! "What would a social worker say to movie characters?" should be a regular feature! 10/10 would read every one.

A good dancing session to Chromatica really does heal the heart

This is such a good review - I literally laughed out loud! I think The Batman had a great mix of political unrest/hope and addressing of privilege without being performative. I'm not usually a DC fan and whilst it was a little too long for my taste, this movie was genuinely great :)

Also, Zoe Kravitz killed it (I expected nothing less) !!

What an interesting take and structure of a newsletter! I loved it! The notes on Batman's, and consequentially Bruce Wayne's, identity were elegantly told and I feel bad for blundering on about it in my newsletter lmao

Thank you for sharing!

Thank you! This is an entirely new topic for me. 😄 I enjoyed your review and your description of Batman as “a moody little bitch.” LMAO!!!

You are a phenomenal writer. It’s such a fun journey reading your work 😀

I loved the share about your parents. The Lesters have found their unique way to bring some hope and love to people who are deeply suffering in Ukraine. 💙💛

Right there with you, I am now unexpectedly obsessed with this movie! And only in a queer pop culture newsletter would you have to clarify that Bruce Wayne is Batman out of disguise LMAOOOOO

Alanna that made me laugh out loud! 🤣 I had to Google “Bruce Wayne” a few times, just to make sure I was getting the name right.
