| TV, Jessica Jones, Marvel Entertainment, Netflix By Teresa Jusino on Thu,12:00 When I wrote about Marvel's Jessica Jones being renewed for a third season on Netflix, my feelings were very firmly meh, as its second season left much to be desired. Come to think of it, the second season of Daredevil left much to be desired, too. Perhaps Marvel has been thinking about these shows all wrong. Maybe Marvel should treat them less like episodic television and more like mini-series. Read More > TV, Westworld By Jessica Mason on Thu,11:47 Westworld is many things: fascinating, shocking, confounding, violent, cerebral, beautiful, and ambitious. It’s one of those shows that means something. It’s as intricate and multilayered as one of the non-human "hosts" that populate the screen, a maze with a shocking revelation at its center. And could it be, like those hosts, secretly revolutionary? Could Westworld be feminist? Progressive? The answer, I think, is yes.

Even at the age of 63, the two time Oscar Winner manages to sell being a bad ass in Equalizer 2, which is the first sequel of his career. Read More > Comics, AfterShock Comics, Christina Harrington, women in comics By Teresa Jusino on Thu,10:29 I've been slowly falling in love with AfterShock Comics, which has proven itself as a formidable force in indie comics, attracting quality talent and giving some of my favorite female creators the space to create extraordinary creator-owned work that's outside the scope of what they'd usually do for the Big Two. Now, they've hired Christina Harrington as their new managing editor to further grow the publisher. Read More > Movies, Deadpool, Deadpool 2 By Dan Van Winkle on Thu,10:20 The Deadpool sequel is only a month away now, and what a long way we've come from the time when the first one was seen (by the outside world, anyway) as a surprise hit. Things have gotten bigger in every way, as they often do for the sequel, and the final trailer shows off the whole of Deadpool's expanded X-Force team, including a surprise member. Read More > TV, Cinemax, Outcast (TV Show), Patrick Fugit By Teresa Jusino on Thu,8:25 The Walking Dead isn't the only Robert Kirkman comic with a TV show. Outcast was adapted into a ten-episode first season that aired on Cinemax back in 2016. A second season was filmed and aired in the UK in 2017, and that second season will finally be airing in the United States this summer. I had a chance at a recent Cinemax press junket to talk to the show's star, Patrick Fugit.

Read More > TV, Lynda Carter, Wonder Woman By Dan Van Winkle on Wed,5:12 Lynda Carter, star of the 1975 Wonder Woman TV show, has been all over the place lately, even popping up back in the DC universe with an appearance on Supergirl as none other than the president of the United States——a timeline we would very much rather live in, thank you. This morning, she stopped by Megyn Kelly Today and mentioned somewhere else we might soon see her, feminism, and the Me Too movement—including her own experiences. Read More > News, Blackout, Puerto Rico, relief efforts By Teresa Jusino on Wed,5:10 Lest you think that Puerto Rico doesn't continue to struggle after the devastating effects of Hurricanes Irma and Maria, this recent news should clear up that misconception. The island is currently in the process of recovering from a sudden island-wide blackout that left Puerto Ricans much in the same situation as they were back in September in the immediate aftermath of the hurricane.

We also have a new character to start caring about in Winn's mother Mary, played by Laurie Metcalf, who returns to reconnect with Winn after having left him when he was a child. Read More > Big on the Internet, Gemini, Lola Kirke, sexism By Vivian Kane on Wed,3:46 There are plenty of valid reasons not to like a movie. A female character's unflattering outfits is not one of them. Read More > Big on the Internet, Books, #FearlessWomen, Tor Books By Princess Weekes on Wed,3:43 Tor has released their #FearlessWomen campaign to promote their upcoming books that feature powerful female characters by female writers.
