I wanna talk about A Goofy Movie
A Goofy Movie is an animated musical released by Walt Disney Studios in 1995. Set in the same universe as the Disney Afternoon show Goof Troop, it tells a father-son bonding story about Goofy and his son Max, now a teenager in High School. In an attempt to grow closer to him after receiving some very one-sided news from his principal before school let out ...

When it comes to Disney’s “A Goofy Movie,” the movie follow-up to Goof Troop has been a cult classic with millennials who grew up in the 90s. But black millennials relate to A Goofy Movie so much that they both declare that A Goofy Movie is black and that A Goofy Movie is black culture. So since I can only speak for myself, I want to explain why black millennials love A Goofy Movie throug...

Marvel Studios’ first Disney Plus show WandaVision has gained a solid LGBTQ following since its 2021 release, to the point where queer men have given Elizabeth Olsen’s Wanda Maximoff -- aka Scarlet Witch -- Diva Worship status.

Not because I wasn’t interested in seeing it, mind you. But the combination of having movies I wanted to see in theaters that were higher on my priority list and just being a broke-ass bitch pretty much kept me in my place.

Walt Disney’s Encanto has given us a way to explore the meaning of being the black sheep of the family through Mirabel and Bruno.

Not only were the theaters closed for the majority of that time for obvious reasons, but people flocked back to them in droves when they reopened to the point that noticing the filled parking lot of my local theater whenever I drove by it caused me mentally to turn into Homer Simpson backing into a bush. 2022-01-05 21:00:04 +0000 UTC View Post

While Shang-Chi’s Wenwu is one of the best Marvel villains since Black Panther’s Killmonger, the movie does a great job at displaying the contradictions in his methods when considering his late wife’s word “leave the past behind” in comparison to when Wenwu takes his revenge against the Iron Gang. And this Marvel Studios film does that with Wenwu by showing what happens when you combi...

The 2021 Netflix original movie “Red Notice” has within it a lot of promise as an action/adventure comedy.
