The final scene, much debated by fans and critics, does however give us a window into the movie’s deeper meaning and the Coens’ pessimistic worldview.

4 juin 2020

Or does his community's habit of laughing off his behavior with the mantra "Boys will be Boys" feel out of step with our times?

16 juin 2020

Get a full month of MUBI FOR FREE: https://mubi.com/thetake (With the support of Creative Europe – MEDIA Programme of the European Union) | The Tomboy. She loves traditionally masculine activities and would rather wear baggy clothes instead of dresses or skirts. Confident with the tendency to be headstrong or impulsive, she doesn’t cave to the pressure to conform, which has made her a strong role model for women and girls who feel like they don’t fit in.

23 juin 2020

Get a full month of MUBI FOR FREE: https://mubi.com/thetake (With the support of Creative Europe – MEDIA Programme of the European Union) | Ari Aster’s Midsommar ends with a smile creeping across the face of its protagonist, Dani (Florence Pugh). The grisly finale feels like a moment of triumph for this character, who’s spent the whole film enduring emotional torment. Watching the suffering of others who’ve wronged her provides her the satisfaction of retribution and lets us participate in a revenge fantasy that might feel especially liberating to anyone who’s suffered a very bad break-up. But if we do smile along with Dani, what does that say about us? Here’s our take on how Midsommar tells a different kind of horror story—one that’s less about things lurking in the darkness, than the truths lurking inside us—and why its terrifying ending is the key to this twisted fairy tale.

Has the show, and our culture, reached their limit with the “lovable jerk" character type? Rick Sanchez is the mad genius anti-hero at the heart of Dan Harmon's and Justin Roiland's Adult Swim show. But over the course of the Rick and Morty's fourth season, the allure of Rick’s heartless nihilism has started to fade, and it seems like everyone in his life is leaving him behind. Morty pushes back against Rick’s cruelty before finding a new adventuring partner in Summer, and Beth teams up with her clone and realizes that she doesn’t need to live in her father’s shadow to have value. Rick’s former best friend, the planet he used to date, and a whole “story train” of fictional people all want to kill him, and he ends the season without a friend in the world.

Épisode 443 - The Prestige Ending Explained - Nolan on Identity

27 juin 2020

What makes a person who they are? This question lies at the heart of The Prestige, Christopher Nolan’s 2006 movie about two warring magicians, played by Hugh Jackman and Christian Bale, who risk everything to become the master of their craft. Like a talented illusionist himself, Nolan blurs the line between appearance and reality until we, the viewer, begin to question our own understanding of identity. Is it based on a soul or some immutable essence? Or do we only become ourselves through the roles we play? Here’s our Take on how Nolan explores this theme in The Prestige, as well his other films like Memento, The Dark Knight, and Inception—and how this may be The Prestige’s most impressive reveal.

Épisode 444 - The White Savior Trope, Explained

1 juillet 2020

Why do so many stories about racism revolve around the White Savior? In 2020, as the Movement for Black Lives grew in the wake of the killings of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, and others, The Help experienced a resurgence in popularity, becoming one of the most-streamed movies on Netflix. The 2011 film about a white woman confronting racism may be well-intentioned, but—like Green Book, The Blind Side, and other White Savior movies before it—The Help centers its story on benevolent white characters, rather than on firsthand black perspectives. How did this trope become so persistent? Here’s our Take on the dangers of the White Savior, and how we can change our own narratives and conversations to become more anti-racist ourselves.

For a lot of us, summer blockbusters like The Avengers, Independence Day, The Lion King, or Star Wars are exactly what we think of when we picture going to the movies. But these days, Hollywood's "summer" seems to start earlier every year, and studios fill the entire calendar with huge franchises and outsized spectacles.

7 juillet 2020

Go to https://BuyRaycon.com/thetake for 15% off your order! Brought to you by Raycon | Did Taylor Swift write “Bad Blood” about Katy Perry? Did Katy Perry fire back with “Swish Swish”? Recent years have seen a significant rise in songs that seem to be about the particular people and problems in singers’ lives, rather than soundtracking our own. Amateur sleuths scoured Beyonce’s Lemonade for clues about her husband Jay-Z’s infidelity, while Ariana Grande’s “Thank U Next” was far less subtle about name-checking her ex-boyfriends. More than ever today’s pop music feels rife with messages for fans to decode, requiring us to do the research to figure out why Drake is beefing with Meek Mill, Kanye West, or Pusha T. But shorn of their gossipy contexts, do these songs stand on their own? Here’s our Take on how we came to care so much about the stories behind the songs, and whether music that asks us to do supplemental reading robs it of something essential. If you like this video, subscribe to our channel or support us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/thetake Follow The Take on Instagram: http://instagram.com/ThisIsTheTake, Twitter: http://twitter.com/ThisIsTheTake, and Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/ThisIsTheTake We are The Take (formerly ScreenPrism).

Épisode 448 - Dexter's Disastrous Ending, Explained

11 juillet 2020

Get 20% off Brilliant: https://brilliant.org/TheTake/ | Over the course of eight seasons, the Showtime series Dexter always seemed to be building to a grand finale. Instead, James Manos Jr.’s show about a serial killer (Michael C. Hall) went out quietly and ambiguously. It’s never easy to end a long-running series in a way that satisfies everyone, but Dexter’s ending was uniquely reviled in comparison to the controversial finales of shows like Lost, The Sopranos, and Game of Thrones. So where did Dexter go so wrong? Here’s our Take on that controversial ending, and how shows like Dexter set expectations that, ultimately, decide whether they will leave us feeling satisfied.

Thanks Honey for sponsoring! | After countless boy-meets-girl romances, Hollywood has recently turned its attention to a new kind of love story: the female friendship. The idea that a platonic girlfriend can be your soulmate has become mainstream in shows like Insecure, Broad City, and Dead to Me, and in movies such as Girls Trip and Booksmart, and the increasing seriousness devoted to this subject represents a remarkable cultural shift.

Épisode 450 - Why We Love Songs About Not Caring - Music Tropes

But we also love songs that don’t care—whose singers tell us how little they think about an ex-lover, like Demi Lovato’s “Really Don’t Care,” or someone else’s opinions, like Kanye West’s “We Don’t Care.” Why does this attitude—so simple, yet so universal—continue to speak to us across so many genres and generations? Here's our Take on how the “don’t care” song tells us something important with its indifference, and why we care about songs that don’t.

Épisode 451 - The Angry Young Man Trope, Explained

18 juillet 2020

Get a full month of MUBI FOR FREE: https://mubi.com/thetake (With the support of Creative Europe – MEDIA Programme of the European Union) | Who gets to be angry? The “angry young man” trope came onto the scene as a working class anti-hero but has recently morphed into a social villain. In the 50s to the 70s, British angry young men like Look Back in Anger's Jimmy Porter (Richard Burton), Saturday Night and Sunday Morning's Arthur Seaton (Albert Finney) and Clockwork Orange's Alex (Malcolm McDowell) challenged the upper-class focus of cinema. Over the years iconic angry young men around the globe played by Robert De Niro, Amitabh Bachchan, Spike Lee, Edward Norton and more became voices of disruptive political protest -- some listened to and validated more than others. Recently, the figure has evolved into a controversial villain, as seen in Joker (Joaquin Phoenix) and Star Wars’s Kylo Ren (Adam Driver). More women and people of color are finally seeing their anger expressed onscreen and received with legitimacy, notable examples including Black Panther's Erik Killmonger (Michael B. Jordan) and Dear White People's Reggie (Marque Richardson). Here’s our Take on the Angry Young Men (and increasingly Women) of film and TV, and the politics of anger as protest.

Get a full month of MUBI FOR FREE: https://mubi.com/thetake (With the support of Creative Europe – MEDIA Programme of the European Union) | The grotesque racist caricatures that were used to justify slavery and the systemic mistreatment of black people found their way into our earliest blockbuster movies, and they remained popular onscreen for decades. In large part, this is because—while black characters have always been a part of American films—black filmmakers and performers tended to be excluded from their creation. If we look closer, many caricatures like the Mammy, Uncle Tom, Sapphire, Jezebel, and Magical Negro have persevered, in some form, to this day across our modern films and TV.

Épisode 454 - Longing is the Heart of Every Story

25 juillet 2020

Longing is at the heart of every good story. Characters long for someone or something that lies beyond their reach. Films and TV shows have different methods of creating that longing, drawing it out, and ultimately, resolving it. But the mere fact of a character’s longing drives the story and pulls us along with them. Here’s our Take on how creators use longing to hook us into their narratives, how it speaks to something profound in the human condition, and why we still empathize with characters who long for something, even if their object of desire is nothing we would ever want. If you like this video, subscribe to our channel or support us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/thetake Follow The Take on Instagram: http://instagram.com/ThisIsTheTake, Twitter: http://twitter.com/ThisIsTheTake, and Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/ThisIsTheTake We are The Take (formerly ScreenPrism).

From I Love Lucy, to Jungle Fever, to The Big Sick, we’ve progressed  from cautious depictions of interracial romance, to politically charged melodramas that confront them head on, to more modern tales where race is seen as just one of love’s many complexities. But even as movies and TV have increasingly normalized the interracial relationship, it remains a singular, and significant dynamic on screen—and an essential part of our cultural conversation. Here’s our Take on how all of these depictions of the interracial relationship bring something to the table, even if they come from different points of view.

Épisode 456 - The Truman Show Tried to Warn Us

30 juillet 2020

The Truman Show is that rare film that feels even more relevant today than when it came out. The 1998 story about a man (Jim Carrey) who doesn’t know his life is being filmed and broadcast live to a large audience foreshadowed our present landscape of oversharing, which often encourages us to act like an audience is always watching. It also exposes how turning real life into entertainment can dehumanize people, and reminds us that privacy is a valuable, even essential component of an authentic life. Here’s our Take on why it’s chilling to watch The Truman Show today and reckon with whether we’ve ignored its warnings.

As much as we keep coming back to Emile Ardolino’s 1987 film for the iconic romance, Patrick Swayze, and of course, the dancing, there’s a deeper meaning in Frances “Baby” Houseman’s character arc that explains why this story has struck a chord for so many viewers ever since its release. Frances’ progression from “Baby” to woman is a symbolic awakening into her femininity and sexuality—a coming-of-age expressed as coming into one’s own body. As Baby takes ownership of her desires and physicality, she achieves confidence, maturity and purpose. Here's our Take on Dirty Dancing’s timeless insights into the young female experience.

While media has generally become more inclusive toward homosexuals, why have we struggled to give bisexuals and pansexuals the same recognition?

From the recent crop of movies like Parasite, Knives Out, Hustlers, and Joker, to shows like Succession and Billions, class warfare is suddenly everywhere, feeding off a growing dissatisfaction with a world that revolves around the rich. Here’s our Take on the long and often fraught relationship we’ve had with wealth onscreen and why lately, it seems like the revolution has begun.

Here’s our Take on how the hidden power of Erin’s vulnerability actually draws people in—leading her into toxic romances with Andy and Gabe, but also giving her a home with work family members like Michael and Kelly. It’s a story that tells us something surprising about harnessing our own weaknesses into strengths.

Épisode 463 - What Time Travel Stories Are Really About

15 août 2020

Why do we keep returning to stories about time travel? From books like H.G. Wells’ The Time Machine, to movies such as Back to the Future, Donnie Darko, Palm Springs, and Tenet, and even in TV shows like Outlander and Russian Doll, we’ve never stopped imagining what it would be like to visit the distant future or relive our past. What are these fantasies of mastering time really about?

Get a full month of MUBI FOR FREE: https://mubi.com/thetake (With the support of Creative Europe – MEDIA Programme of the European Union) | Cameron Crowe's Almost Famous revolves around a rock band—but it’s Penny Lane who embodies the true spirit of rock ‘n’ roll. The lively character played by Kate Hudson is not a groupie, or even just a fan. She’s much closer to a muse, an important, but often overlooked figure in the creation of art. Here’s our Take on how Penny Lane fulfills the crucial role of the muse, and what her idea of the “band-aid” tells us about the magic of bringing the music to life.

Épisode 466 - The Model Minority Trope, Explained

22 août 2020

Get 20% off Brilliant: https://brilliant.org/TheTake/ | The term “Model Minority” has long been used to paint a broad picture of Asian-Americans as smart and hardworking, wealthy, and well-behaved. And while this has been seen as a more positive stereotype compared to past caricatures, it similarly diminishes the nuanced realities of peoples’ individual lives, and sets expectations that can lead to further disadvantages and discrimination. Here’s our Take on how the Model Minority came to be such an insidious force used against Asian-Americans, specifically, and whether we can move away from these stereotypes of perfection toward something more imperfectly real.  If you like this video, subscribe to our channel or support us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/thetake Follow The Take on Instagram: http://instagram.com/ThisIsTheTake, Twitter: http://twitter.com/ThisIsTheTake, Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/ThisIsTheTake Snap: https://www.snapchat.com/discover/The..., Website: https://the-take.com/ We are The Take (formerly ScreenPrism).

From her passion for dance to her fixation on gossip and drama, Gina resists what many would consider to be adulthood. But just when it might seem tempting to write her off as an immature, head-in-the-clouds slacker, Gina will surprise her colleagues with profound wisdom, an ingenious solution only she could devise, or the reveal that she’s been their secret puppet-master all along. So what if all of life really is just like middle school, and Gina’s the only one who’s switched on enough to see it? Here’s our Take on how Gina Linetti’s middle school mentality is her superpower, and what we can learn from regressing into her mindset.

Should we still interpret the film’s ending as empowering to women? Here’s our Take on the deeper message of 10 Things I Hate About You, and why Kat is still a rom-com feminist icon today.  If you like this video, subscribe to our channel or support us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/thetake Follow The Take on Instagram: http://instagram.com/ThisIsTheTake, Twitter: http://twitter.com/ThisIsTheTake, Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/ThisIsTheTake Snap: https://www.snapchat.com/discover/The_Take/8850530296, Website: https://the-take.com/ We are The Take (formerly ScreenPrism).

Épisode 469 - The Neurotic Type A Woman Trope, Explained

Watch now on the @NetflixBehindTheStreams YouTube channel! https://youtu.be/wVxC64Sn7HA | “Type A” personalities onscreen are often embodied by neurotic women who live in constant conflict between their worries and their life plans, with a frantic energy most people can’t begin to match. From Friends’ Monica Geller, to Parks and Recreation’s Leslie Knope, to Brooklyn Nine-Nine’s Amy Santiago, we frequently see the neurotic Type A grappling with just how much she needs to be in control over every aspect of her life to feel secure. But it’s her struggles—and her relatable fears—that make her feel both complex and familiar. Here’s our Take on what makes the Neurotic Type A Woman tick, and what her journey says about understanding our inner selves.  If you like this video, subscribe to our channel or support us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/thetake Follow The Take on Instagram: http://instagram.com/ThisIsTheTake, Twitter: http://twitter.com/ThisIsTheTake, Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/ThisIsTheTake Snap: https://www.snapchat.com/discover/The_Take/7434234501, Website: https://the-take.com/ We are The Take (formerly ScreenPrism).

Get a full month of MUBI FOR FREE: https://mubi.com/thetake (With the support of Creative Europe – MEDIA Programme of the European Union) | For many years, feminists have been dismissed, mocked, and outright vilified onscreen. But more recent depictions of feminist characters on TV shows like Mrs. America, Downton Abbey, and Sex Education increasingly reflect that the "feminist" label is at last being claimed as aspirational, cool, and even necessary. Still, even this embrace of the cause for gender equality has brought new perils, like co-option and commodification.

Épisode 472 - Ozark's Wendy Byrde - Beyond the Mob Wife

5 septembre 2020

Ozark's Wendy Byrde, played by Laura Linney, is a “mob wife” for the post-#MeToo era. Her husband, Marty (Jason Bateman), may have been the one first hired to launder money for the Mexican Navarro drug cartel, but over time Wendy outshines him in her strategic cunning, drive, and lust for power. Crucially, her “thirst for more” feels symbolic of a deeper, universal female dissatisfaction. Here’s our Take on how Wendy reflects our present moment, and how we can learn from this antiheroine’s political brilliance to seize a bigger life for ourselves.

8 septembre 2020

Get a full month of MUBI FOR FREE: https://mubi.com/thetake (With the support of Creative Europe – MEDIA Programme of the European Union) | By the end of David Fincher’s The Social Network, you almost feel sorry for Mark Zuckerberg. The film aims to tell a true story about how Facebook became one of the most powerful companies in the world, but Aaron Sorkin’s screenplay takes certain liberties with that truth. It gives Zuckerberg’s story a dramatic scope that—despite painting him as cold and ruthless—also humanizes him, inviting our natural sympathies. And this story has affected how we perceive the real Mark Zuckerberg, with real-world consequences. Here’s our Take on how The Social Network turns Mark Zuckerberg into a character, and what responsibility movies have when it comes to shaping our impressions of real-life people.

Yet despite these advancements, some continue to criticize the Disney Princess, questioning whether the very idea is sexist.

From the "Bury Your Gays" trope that sees queer characters dying far more frequently than straight characters, to stories that foreground the struggles of LGBTQ lives, we rarely allow them to be happy. So why have we insisted on making queer characters miserable?

Épisode 476 - New Girl's Cece - The Limits of the "Pretty Girl"

15 septembre 2020

New Girl's Cece (Hannah Simone) has been defined by her beauty since her early teens. Being the "pretty girl" has informed and defined all her experiences, her sense of identity, and her professional life. And while it's given her confidence—and some obvious perks—no one ever lets Cece forget that she’s attractive, and this isn't always an advantage. Here’s our Take on how being seen as the “pretty girl” holds Cece back, and why refusing to be boxed in allows you to show the world how much you can offer.

When it came time to end it in 2013, The Office demanded an equally outsized finale. That finale was actually an epilogue, catching up with the characters a year after the premiere of the documentary that’s been filming them over the course of the series. As they discuss how their lives became a TV show, while offering the kind of fairy-tale endings we're used to seeing on television, The Office becomes a meta-commentary on itself—contemplating its larger purpose, and subtly urging us to think about how we might re-evaluate our own lives if we saw them reflected back to us on a TV screen. Here’s our Take on how The Office’s once-dry, subversive satire of the workplace evolved into a broader, more heartfelt sitcom, and the deeper message we might take from its sentimental ending.

22 septembre 2020

Get 25% off an annual membership of CuriosityStream: https://curiositystream.com/thetake | The ending of Friends seems to be about as happy as a sitcom finale can get—but is its resolution a lot sadder than it appears? On closer inspection, Friends’ ending carries notes of tragedy: sooner or later, your friends will leave you behind. And as if that weren’t sad enough, the show also leaves some of its central sextet of Rachel, Ross, Monica, Chandler, Phoebe, and Joey trapped in increasingly narrow life paths. Here’s our Take on why Friends’ series finale is more disheartening than it seems, and whether the audience’s demand for an ending that satisfies expectations can sometimes deny a show’s characters a truer form of happiness.

The “woman in a refrigerator” trope, or "fridging," occurs when a female character is killed or hurt in order to motivate a male character’s story. The term, coined by writer Gail Simone, was inspired by a famous Green Lantern comic, where the hero's girlfriend is murdered and stuffed inside his refrigerator. The question of what exactly constitutes a fridging can get complicated: does it still count if the woman is well-drawn before she dies, if male characters get injured or killed, too, or if there are other complex female characters in the story? Ultimately, the Fridged Woman trope is most useful not as a way to condemn individual stories, but as a touchstone for opening up important discussions about how women are represented onscreen. Here’s our Take on why this trope remains so common, and how we can bring the simplistic Fridged Woman out of the kitchen for good.

Épisode 481 - Girls: How to End a Show People Loved to Hate

26 septembre 2020

Episode 2 of our collaborative Netflix series Take Two is live! Today's inquiry: Is the Gender-Swapped Movie Really a Good Thing? Watch now on the @NetflixBehindTheStreams YouTube channel! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-sopiUdD1F4 | From the moment Girls debuted in 2012 to when it ended in 2017, the HBO show was a constant source of controversy. Lena Dunham’s series won over plenty of fans with its raw, funny look at the lives of four twenty-something women living in New York City, but by the show’s finale, the big question seemed to be whether these characters should be redeemed for their privileged, narcissistic behavior—or punished. Dunham, along with her collaborators Jenni Konner and Judd Apatow, had spent six seasons both satirizing and celebrating its characters’ self-absorption. The finale raised the question of how to maintain that sense of empathy and realism, without betraying who these women fundamentally were. Here’s our Take on how the Girls finale allowed its characters to grow up just enough, how the backlash to the show influenced its evolution, and what the series ultimately said about the people it represented.

The film's final, devastating reveal is so bleak, Fincher even added a new line of dialogue to soften the blow, yet the note of optimism that's sounded by Morgan Freeman's closing narration still rings hollow. It also leaves us wondering: Is the world a fine place? And what exactly are we fighting for—or against?

But The Office’s unhinged antagonist was introduced as a reasonable professional, a serious woman who did her best to manage Michael Scott (Steve Carrell) — a task he doesn’t make easy. The most consistent part of Jan’s journey is Dunder Mifflin, a deceivingly hostile workplace that suffers from a serious misogyny problem. Jan’s story is really a kind of cautionary tale about how offices treat their female employees, and how internalized cultures of sexism can often have traumatic effects. Here’s our Take on how toxic work conditions led to Jan’s eventual downfall, and why a supportive environment is crucial to any woman’s success.

In the perilous high school food chain, the jock is king of the jungle. He’s often seen on the arm of the Queen Bee, reinforcing her reign. But while she’s busy manipulating the system, the jock isn’t exactly known for being clever. In fact, he’s usually portrayed as exceptionally dumb. But as the jock character has evolved over the years, we’ve begun to see more nuanced versions of the trope that don’t always live up to the stereotypes.

Épisode 491 - The #Girlboss Trope, Explained

20 octobre 2020

“Girlboss” is often used as a term of empowerment. It's meant to refer to a new generation of confident, take-charge women who pursue their own ambitions—and who aren’t beholden to anyone else. But on screen, the Girlboss is often portrayed as somewhere between satire and villainy. How did we come to love to hate this 21st-century spin on the working woman? Here’s our Take on the onscreen evolution of this archetype, how she grew out of the female boss characters who came before, and why the Girlboss is fundamentally at odds with true feminism.

Épisode 496 - Toxic Takeaways - How Not to Love, Actually

2 novembre 2020

Love Actually has a reputation as a feel-good classic, a holiday season staple that’s as hilarious as it is heartwarming. The 2003 film boasts a star-studded international cast—including Hugh Grant, Emma Thompson, Keira Knightley, and Liam Neeson—in a loosely connected collection of vignettes about how love is all around us. But if we look closer, we can see that many of its ideas about love are, well, kind of messed up, even by romantic-comedy standards. Here are some of the film’s most Toxic Takeaways, and what we can—and shouldn’t—learn from them.

Check out our limited edition designs available on the Merch Shelf now before they’re gone: https://the-take.myteespring.co/ | The thesis of Sex and the City seems to be that women don’t need to be defined by marriage. From its premiere in 1998 through six subsequent seasons, the show suggested that women could get everything they needed from their friends. So, many viewers found it startling when the series finale directly contradicted the proposition the show had seemingly set out to prove. In the end, Carrie, Samantha, Miranda, and Charlotte's storylines focus on their committed relationships with men. So what message did the show’s writers send with this rom-com fairy tale conclusion? Here’s our Take on how Sex and the City’s ending disproved the progressive argument that it initially proposed, and what it left us with instead.

Onscreen, millennials are often the butt of the joke, represented by characters with a litany of negative traits. But it’s also notable that the rise of negative millennial stereotypes coincides with an increase of pop culture made by millennials. So are these tiresome characters a form of self-aware criticism, or do they simply reflect the problems that millennials have been forced to live with, in a world that seems to love to hate them? Here’s our Take on the trope of the annoying millennial, and why it may be time to reevaluate one of our culture’s favorite scapegoats.

Yet ever since Friends ended in 2004, we’ve been able to take a more critical look at Ross, and spot some of the many red flags we once disregarded. Through this retrospective lens, we can see Ross as an example of male fragility. He’s a guy who’s so preoccupied with proving that he’s a ‘man,’ he often ends up overcompensating and even hurting others in the process. And yet, after ten seasons of questionable behavior, Ross ends up getting his dream girl anyway. Here’s our Take on the many Toxic Takeaways from Ross Geller’s story, and the lessons he can teach us about how not to be a good friend.

But the moral of the series isn’t as simple as arguing that the upper classes should be brought down a peg. Schitt’s Creek shows us a more well-rounded picture of a society where income inequality is no longer a factor, class isn’t an issue, and everyone is treated with empathy. Here’s our Take on how Schitt’s Creek plays on its motif of opposites to show us how the Roses grow along with their counterparts, and what its vision of a classless society can tell us about bringing people together.

The fat woman was often portrayed as a cautionary tale, the antithesis to the popular skinny girl. And for her failure to starve herself, she was mercilessly mocked by her peers. But the Funny Fat Woman turns it around. She owns her size—and those laughs. Compared to a history of characters who were made to feel nothing but shame, this might seem like a tentative step forward for body positivity. Yet the trope also reinforces the old idea that women characters should be sexy or amusing—and often we’re still laughing at her, not with her.

From the moment Beyoncé called her out on her 2016 album Lemonade, Becky instantly became the subject of memes, think-pieces, and Twitter mobs, all of them trying to discern the identity of "Becky with the good hair." But as it turns out, Becky is all around us. For centuries, the Becky has been a convenient archetype of a kind of white femininity, someone who may or may not have good hair, but who is largely identified by her obliviousness. The Becky is someone our culture both reveres and looks down upon for her appearance, her privileges, and her willfully naive behavior. Here’s our Take on the Becky as privilege personified, the damage she causes—both willfully and unintentionally—and whether there could be more to Becky if we’d just give her a chance.

8 décembre 2020

Today on our collaborative@NetflixBehindTheStreams series “Take Two," we explore the true meaning of Christmas movies: https://youtu.be/eZfOdlIxr9c. Watch it now on the Netflix Film Club YouTube channel! | The history of "shipping," the act of rooting for a romantic relationship between two fictional characters, has been around for ages, yet the phenomenon got its name from The X-Files. Fans of the science-fiction series who pined for Agent Fox Mulder (David Duchovny) and Agent Dana Scully (Gillian Anderson) didn't always see their relationship develop on screen, so a vocal subset of viewers kept it alive online. The X-Files thus became ground zero for the explosion of shipping as a common, if controversial part of fandom, for everything from sitcoms to Star Wars. Here’s our Take on the evolution of shipping, from The X-Files to The Rise of Skywalker, the reasoning behind it, and the effects that rooting for love can have on the things we love.

12 décembre 2020

Check out our limited edition designs available on the Merch Shelf now before they’re gone: https://the-take.myteespring.co/ | (500) Days of Summer is a different kind of romantic comedy, one that set out to subvert some of the genre’s most frequently used tropes. The 2009 film was meant to be critical of Tom’s (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) romantic attitudes toward Summer (Zooey Deschanel), one that found comedy and pathos in how all of his possessiveness and self-centered delusions would lead him inevitably to heartbreak. So why did so many come away from the movie feeling sorry for Tom, and seemingly agreeing with him that Summer had treated him unfairly? Here’s our Take on this common misinterpretation of 500 Days of Summer, and how it plays with tropes like the Nice Guy and the Manic Pixie Dream Girl to show us the problems with those archetypes-- but also ends up undermining its own message.

Miranda (Cynthia Nixon) is the career-oriented cynic who preaches independence; Charlotte (Kristin Davis) is the old-fashioned romantic seeking a relationship; and Samantha (Kim Cattrall) is the sexually liberated commitment-phobic bachelorette.

Ever since director David Fincher brought Gillian Flynn’s bestselling novel to the screen in 2014, we’ve remained torn over whether Amy is an antihero or a villain—a feminist icon or an irredeemable monster. The divided reaction to Amy Dunne speaks to our own feelings about female rage, a notably quiet kind of anger that we normally expect women to suppress. As Gone Girl shows us through the story of a woman whose bottled-up disappointment in her husband (Ben Affleck) gradually curdles into murderous resentment, this kind of repressed anger isn’t just common—it’s accepted. Here’s our Take on Amy Dunne as an exaggerated embodiment of female rage, what our reaction to her says about our own gendered expectations, and why Amy’s revenge doesn’t have to be empowering to feel cathartic.

Get a full month of MUBI FOR FREE: https://mubi.com/thetake (With the support of Creative Europe – MEDIA Programme of the European Union) | Since the earliest fairy tales, few characters have struck fear in the hearts of children like the Wicked Stepmother. She’s the definitive evil woman—someone who perverts the "greater good" of motherhood by invading a child’s family, usually for her own selfish ends.

Épisode 521 - The Queen's Gambit - When the Genius is Female

5 janvier 2021

We're all familiar with the loner genius trope -- but it's remarkably difficult to think of popular examples who aren't men. So The Queen's Gambit stands out for applying the characteristics of this traditionally male archetype to a female protagonist: chess prodigy Beth Harmon. In loner genius narratives like those of Sherlock Holmes or Dr. House, these brilliant individuals tend to be defined mostly by the reactions of the characters that surround them. But can we really buy that the most prominent members of a male-dominated field during the 1960s would come together to selflessly support the woman who publicly bested them? By transplanting traits of a historically male archetype onto a woman, The Queen’s Gambit reveals the limitations of the loner genius trope -- not by subverting them, but by playing into them. Here’s our Take on The Queen’s Gambit and what happens when the loner genius trope takes on a female form.

We’ve seen various kinds of dangerous women over the decades, but perhaps none have proved so alluring as the Female Assassin. She’s a character who terrifies us as much as she attracts us, going on bloody rampages in skin-tight outfits, and cloaking her dark intentions with a sexy smirk. As a killer, the female assassin rejects nearly everything that society expects of women. This makes her an unnerving, yet liberating character—one who challenges the assumptions that women are predominantly caring or inherently good. Here’s our Take on the female assassin and this complex role she plays for women, as well as the moral quandaries she presents by being a murderer we feel compelled to root for.

Épisode 525 - The Gold Digger Trope, Explained

14 janvier 2021

The word "gold digger" conjures images of a young, beautiful woman using her feminine wiles to seduce a rich, older man, hoping to reap the rewards of a divorce settlement or inheritance. Gold diggers onscreen are regarded as predators. They’re derided as underhanded—if they’re not being dismissed as spoiled and ditzy. But from a certain point of view, the gold digger can appear savvy and shrewd—and sometimes, they can even be heroes.

Épisode 526 - Toxic Takeaways - What Sex and the City Got Wrong

16 janvier 2021

When Sex and the City first aired to 3.7 million viewers in 1998, the show was hailed as refreshingly candid and real in how it depicted love, sex, and being a woman in New York City, through the eyes of Carrie (Sarah Jessica Parker), Charlotte (Kristin Davis), Miranda (Cynthia Nixon), and Samantha (Kim Cattrall). But looking back, was it really so progressive? While it discussed sex with an admirable frankness, many of the insights it made and the conclusions it came to fell short. Too often it upheld regressive ideas about sexuality, and instead of breaking down barriers for everyone, it fostered problematic stereotypes around gender, race, and class. And so, as much as there is to love about this show, we can’t help but wonder: what did Sex and the City get wrong?

But where did it come from, and how did it become such a buzzword of our times? Gaslighting is a form of emotional abuse where someone tries to control you by convincing you to doubt your experience of reality, or even your sanity. The idea's roots in an intimate, domestic setting make it a frequent reference in modern relationship conflicts. But another part of its recent explosion in the public consciousness has been its use as a method of political control. From our Fake-News-culture to our Me-Too-era revelations of emotional gaslighting, this term that existed in our culture for decades is now used routinely, to describe chillingly recognizable behavior in both the personal and global spheres. Here’s our Take on how the Gaslighting Trope has always been lurking right under the surface.

Épisode 541 - The Jewish American Princess - Beyond the Stereotype

25 février 2021

Jewish Americans have created some of the world’s most beloved movies and shows. So it might be surprising that, when it comes to onscreen representation, Jewish characters are often reduced to stereotypes. Jewish women especially tend to fall into a few well-trodden character types, one of which is the "Jewish American Princess." The phrase is traditionally a derogatory term applied to a certain kind of upper- or upper-middle class Jewish American young woman, but this stereotype has sometimes been acknowledged and claimed by female Jewish creators. Here’s our Take on the role this complicated character plays in film and TV, and how Jewish representation onscreen can move beyond the stereotypes.

It’s risk-free with Nord’s 30-day money-back guarantee! “Cancel culture”: is it the bane of our modern existence, an overdue reckoning for the powerful, PC-hysteria-driven mob rule, or does it not even exist? To cancel is, essentially, to culturally boycott -- to stop giving your support to a celebrity or company after they’ve done something that offends you or expressed views you find unsavory. While some paint cancel culture as an out-of-control moral panic terrorizing our society, others say there is no such thing -- and that for the most part when people are canceled, nothing lasting really happens to them. Here’s our Take on why getting cancelled is more of a phase than a permanent state, and how this tool can be used for better and for worse.

This cold and cunning leader reigns with her icy fist and piercing power. But beneath that icy surface, the Ice Queen typically struggles with more intense feelings than most of us, which is why she works so hard to keep everything under control. One of the most misunderstood characters of all time, the Ice Queen is someone who has been cast as a villain — often for failing to live up to heteronormative ideals of womanhood. And it’s telling that the phrase “Ice Queen” most often pops up as an insult a guy uses for a woman who doesn’t welcome his advances. So what is it about the Ice Queen that makes her worth rooting for? Here’s our Take on why her iciness might not mean what you think.

It’s an insult leveled at someone unforgivably bland; whose interests are dictated entirely by what’s trendy or in mainstream fashion, and whose personality is no personality at all. Onscreen, we can spot the Basic Girl in movies and shows old and new, through her love of “trendy” fashion, brand-name items, or pop culture. Stories about this kind of character have long reinforced a common message: being The Basic Girl is bad. But is un-self-consciously enjoying mainstream interests really as terrible as pop culture has long made it out to be?

Épisode 545 - WandaVision's Sitcom Universe - Easter Eggs and Ending, Explained

WandaVision is the first TV show to star Avengers. So it’s appropriate that this television event isn’t just full of MCU easter eggs; it’s also packed with homages to TV history, specifically family sitcoms, from the 1950s all the way up to present day. Besides offering a fun game of spot-the-reference for TV fans, these allusions inform the story of Wanda coming to terms with her grief. We’re going through episode by episode to show you all the sitcom easter eggs you might have missed and what they mean for the bigger picture of what’s been going on inside Westview -- and Wanda Maximoff’s head.

While her label kicked off as a derogatory nickname for attractive young females in typically male online spaces, the E-Girl and E-Boy rose up in the late 2010s as a social media aesthetics trend and Tik Tok subculture. We can also understand what makes the E-Girl tick through her predecessors in film, TV, and games who helped inspire this look, worldview, and attitude. We can even view her as a fresh take on old tropes like the Manic Pixie Dream Girl, Weird Girl, and Outcast -- but with unprecedented bodily autonomy, confidence, and personal empowerment. Here’s our Take on the real origins of the E-Girl, and how she represents where our society’s values are evolving today.

Bridget Jones is allowed to be a rom-com protagonist who feels shame and exhibits unhealthy behaviors or thoughts -- without being villainized, pathologized, or cured. By celebrating what’s so wrong about Bridget and allowing us to laugh at her, her story encourages us to laugh at ourselves, instead of trying so hard to be right all the time.

Épisode 550 - The Serial Killer Trope | Empathy for the Devil

Why are people so obsessed with stories about serial killers? We often turn to the serial killer story to make us feel better -- by humanizing these monsters, letting us comprehend what made them this way, or perhaps helping us figure out how to avoid them. But at its best, this kind of story confronts us with how there may not be any good explanation, or asks what it says about us that we would ever want to empathize with this agent of evil. Here’s our Take on the Serial Killer trope and why we’re drawn to stories that just might expose the monster in us.

Megan Fox was a sex symbol in an era that turned against the sex symbol. Rising to superstardom after 2007’s Transformers, Fox embodied the feminine ideals of the 2000s and early 2010s through her arresting beauty, svelte figure, and unfiltered “badass” persona. In the wake of the MeToo movement, our culture at large has given Fox a second look, as cringe-worthy past interviews and thought pieces showed little concern with her discomfort with being treated purely as a sexual object from adolescence on. Here’s our Take on Megan Fox, a modern-day deconstruction of a sex symbol, and how she reflects our views of female sexuality back at us.

Starting in the 2000s on, this trope pivoted as teen mom characters like Lorelai Gilmore and Juno could be independent, light-hearted and anything but doomed.

Épisode 554 - Toxic Takeaways - How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days

Hudson’s Andie bets she can scare off any man in ten days, while McConaughey swears he can win over any woman in the same period, and the result is an absurdist battle of the sexes. But is this really a couple whose happily ever after we want to feel all warm and fuzzy about?

The portmanteau of man + explaining was coined in 2008, but the phenomenon has been around a lot longer, in both life and pop culture. And it’s striking that in many onscreen portrayals, mansplaining isn’t painted as a bad thing. So the invention of the term “mansplaining” is an amazing example of how language and the act of naming can radically shift the public perception of and conversation around a subject.

The first 1000 people to use the link will get a free trial of Skillshare Premium Membership: https://skl.sh/thetake04213 Simmering underneath the surface of Oprah’s bombshell-loaded interview with Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, and Prince Harry, there’s an all-too familiar narrative: that of the token-diverse Black person who’s marginalized by the establishment that initially welcomed her as a symbol of its progressiveness. Looking at the way Meghan was treated by the media and (according to her and Harry) by royal family members themselves, we can see three social forces at play in her experience: tokenism, colorism, and anti-black racism. And the case of Meghan Markle reveals just how interconnected these three problems are. We can see this same tokenism cycle in countless contexts, including films and TV shows, which have a huge impact (for better and worse) on our collective assumptions about race. Here’s our Take on how Meghan’s experience illustrates how these three forces (tokenism, colorism, and anti-black racism) mutually thrive off and fuel each other to maintain existing racial hierarchies.

An elusive figure stalks film and TV history, with an ambiguous sexuality that’s only hinted at. Enter: The Queer Coded Character. For many years when queerness couldn’t be spelled out onscreen, recognizable signifiers, tropes and stock character types like the maiden aunt or the confirmed bachelor sent a message to in-the-know audiences. Today, queer coding continues in the form of queerbaiting, which panders to a queer audience through teasing romance but never delivers, for fear of offending any homophobic viewers.

Épisode 562 - Timothée Chalamet, The "Soft" Leading Man | Screen Icons

20 avril 2021

The first 1000 people to use the link will get a free trial of Skillshare Premium Membership: https://skl.sh/thetake04214 Timothée Chalamet’s rise in Hollywood is emblematic of a sea change in Hollywood’s idea of the leading man. Far from the rugged, masculine, All-American captain of the football team type, Chalamet is what would have (until recently) been termed "alternative." Along with Harry Styles in music, he represents today’s version of the androgynous sex symbol. Centering this figure onscreen today signals a mainstream shift into a new era -- one that’s less black and white about gender, and that expects men to be sensitive, kind, and open. Here’s our Take on Timothée Chalamet’s role in making the gender-fluid sex symbol a 21st-century icon of masculinity.

22 avril 2021

Check out Noom’s free online evaluation quiz at http://bit.ly/noom-thetake #Noom #sponsored There are a lot of movies and shows about, well, movies and shows. Through sitcoms like Schitt's Creek and 30 Rock, and films like Notting Hill and Marriage Story, many stories specifically highlight the figure of the actress. But this frequently isn’t that flattering of a portrait. Here’s our Take on the Actress Trope -- a reflection of how society views women, and our deep-rooted anxieties around them.

Épisode 564 - Judas and the Black Messiah, Explained - Self-Preservation Won't Save You

24 avril 2021

Go to https://nordpass.com/thisisthetake and use code THISISTHETAKE to get 50% off a 1-year NordPass Premium plan. Keep your passwords safe and organized! Judas and the Black Messiah, starring Daniel Kaluuya and LaKeith Stanfield, uses a spin on the biblical story of Judas to challenge and reclaim the mainstream historical narrative of the Black Panther Party. The film shows Chairman Fred Hampton as a Jesus-like healer bringing a radically loving, unifying message to the people in the 1960s. Meanwhile, his Judas-like betrayer Bill O’Neal is portrayed as a tool of the FBI, the greater White establishment, and capitalism itself. The story encourages us to rethink all that we’ve been taught about the villains and victims of history, as well as about the present systems we accept and live under. Most of all, it warns us to avoid a mindset of self-preservation and apathy: because seeing yourself as not part of the fight for change amounts to helping keep things the way they are.

Épisode 565 - Why The Millennial v. Gen Z War Should End

27 avril 2021

Gen Z and millennials are at war. The youths are gleefully taking down their elders' habits on social media, whether it’s over millennial fashion choices, their fixations on coffee and wine, their laments about "adulting," or their fondness for sorting themselves into Harry Potter houses. But this online bickering -- however light-hearted and silly it is in many cases -- obscures that millennials and zoomers are more similar than they appear. Both have come of age amidst social upheavals and are facing diminishing prospects for financial security. And if Gen Z is now pushing for greater inclusivity and change in our mainstream cultural values, that’s possible in part thanks to the work those millennial “snowflakes” have already put in. Here’s our Take on the Gen Z-millennial war, what they have in common despite their different taste in emojis, and why they’re stronger together.

America’s royal family, the Kardashians, are a mirror of our contemporary values. Critics may dismiss them as just reflecting the most cynical of those values, but the Kardashians are a revealing portrait of America in our present moment: they personify an All-American sentimentality for family and the family business; they espouse an individualism bordering on narcissism through their radical embrace of the selfie; and they sell a glamour ideal that glorifies work and self-invention. While Keeping Up With The Kardashians wraps up in 2021, Kim Kardashian is reported to have officially become a billionaire, and Kylie Jenner’s social media and makeup empires are taking over the world -- signaling that the power of the Kardashian dynasty will continue to morph and grow. Here’s our Take on how the Philosophy of the Kardashians reflects American ideals and why they’re such geniuses at keeping up with the culture.

1 mai 2021

The first 1000 people to use the link will get a free trial of Skillshare Premium Membership: https://skl.sh/thetake05211 Cottagecore isn’t just an aesthetic. It’s an ethos -- one embodying wholesome isolation, creative crafting, love of nature, and nostalgia for an idealised version of the past. It’s anti-modern, yet it exists and thrives in modern spaces. It champions solitary retreat, yet through public sharing on social media, online communities, and even video games. The Cottagecore ethos isn’t a total rejection of capitalist, online society, but it is an assertion that as human beings we also need activities that relax the mind and nurture the spirit. It’s a belief that, in our chaotic and frequently unsatisfying daily lives, doing less can be more. Here’s our Take on how Cottagecore just might be a bridge from the past to a more sustainable future.

Épisode 568 - The Age of Fanfiction - Manifesting Our Fantasies

5 mai 2021

We’re living in an age of Fan Fiction. Today we're inundated with new stories that expand on and creatively reinvent old narratives. It’s the era of the reboot, the origin story, the cinematic universe and the spinoff. Period pieces, like Bridgerton, Dickinson, and The Great are remixing history or classic literature to reflect our modern sensibilities. At its core, fan fiction is an exercise in wish-fulfillment -- an act of imagining the world as we'd like it to be. Here’s our Take on why Fan Fiction-esque stories rule the moment and how they empower us to remake life in the image of our fantasies.

Aside from its comfort food merits, the 90s and early 00s show was actually ahead of its time in many ways. On the other hand, it’s set in a lily-white New York and chock-full of casual misogyny, homophobia, and fatphobia. So rewatching Friends can be equal parts cringey and heartwarming.

This giveaway is not affiliated with YouTube in any way. 6. You can read the official rules here: https://tinyurl.com/3n8xxxm6 In the late 1990s and early 2000s, movies about teenagers were everywhere. Teen movies like She’s All That, Ten Things I Hate About You, American Pie, Bring It On, and Varsity Blues created an instant familiarity with their audience by tapping into known plot points and tropes, like the pressures of prom, the cruelty of popular mean girls, the sensitivity of social outcasts, angst about cliques, and a strange number of secret bets and financial arrangements. Between 1998 and 2002, there was a sudden boom in a genre that studios (and audiences) shunned for most of the ‘90s. But in these few short years, filmmakers pushed the teen-movie genre to such a self-aware, formulaic place that they nearly killed off the teen movie entirely. Ultimately, this genre’s self-reflective frenzy and near-death in the early 2000s helped pave the way for more original and less trope-based versions of the teen story. Here’s our Take on how this era showed that comic self-awareness isn’t the same as actual critique, and how the turn-of-the-millennium teen formula indirectly led to more nuanced teen comedies today.

Épisode 571 - New Girl - Why Jess Isn't Really the Protagonist

After a major breakup, Jess explores a new chapter of her life: one that centers friendship and fulfillment. But while the show started out following Jess’ journey, as it continued, the focus changed. Her roommates became more dimensional, with great development and comedic timing. Meanwhile, as Zooey Deschanel’s hipster schtick faded in cultural relevance, Jess’ cutesy, quirky "thing" started to feel a little played out. The longer she relied on this gimmick, the harder it became to ignore the truth of her character: for someone who falls while standing still, Jess has her life deceivingly together. Here’s our Take on why Jess isn’t the protagonist of New Girl, what made her too unlikable to lead for some audiences, and how her supporting role in the series actually led to a show -- with ample screen time for other characters who ended up being more interesting.

We’re living in a world that insists you have to choose: Team Kate Middleton, or Team Meghan Markle. So what’s the greater symbolism of this supposed feud and culture war? According to the British press narrative, Kate Middleton is the respected, elegant, traditional Queen-in-waiting, who has taken to the Royal Family like a duck to water, and understands the weight of tradition hoisted upon her. Meanwhile, Meghan Markle is the arch manipulator, the threat to the Royal Family, who’s led Prince Harry astray. So why has the atmosphere become so toxic? As well as the undeniable issue of race, the difference in their narratives stems from a difference in how much each reveres the institution they’ve married into. Here’s why the fiction of the Kate Middleton vs Meghan Markle feud boils down to a divide between those who play the game, and those who want to change it.

When Gilmore Girls first aired, Rory Gilmore (Alexis Bledel) was the rare teenage girl character who always had her nose in a book and was super close with her mom, Lorelai (Lauren Graham). It’s safe to say that most who watched the original series imagined that after Rory’s graduation from Yale, her arc would only continue its upward trajectory. So it came as a surprise when, in 2016’s Gilmore Girls revival A Year In the Life, the young Ms. Gilmore hadn’t exactly become a raging success; instead, she was a portrait of a faltering millennial. But if you look closer, the original series holds clues as to what went wrong for Rory. Here’s our Take on what Rory’s failures teach us about the importance of forging your own path and taking responsibility for your mistakes early on.

Get a full month of MUBI FOR FREE: https://mubi.com/thetake (With the support of Creative Europe – MEDIA Programme of the European Union) Hidden in the fantastic otherwordly narrative of Hayao Miyazaki’s Spirited Away is an allegory about society’s toxic obsession with work. The Studio Ghibli classic was released in 2001 and commented on Japan’s losing its soul to capitalism in the context of the country’s “lost decade.” Yet the film is eerily relevant to our contemporary idea of hustle culture. While Chihiro may think her liberation comes from 24/7 hustling, in fact this is what keeps her down. It’s something more intangible and more spiritual that provides her freedom. Here’s our Take on how Spirited Away pulls the mask off living to work, and shows us the need for another dimension to life.

In the 1961 Disney adaptation, Cruella became happily single and anti-domesticity, and beginning with the 1996 live action film starring Glenn Close, she also became a career-driven girlboss of the fashion world. As this epitome of villainy gets the sympathetic-star treatment in 2021's Cruella starring Emma Stone, the centering of Cruella indicates a growing respect for her type, while her lingering evil betrays that the rebellious, nontraditional woman still has the power to unsettle us.

The kind of celebrity Paris established (and influencers who've built on her legacy) are still despised by many. Yet while disliking the values Paris represented was (and is) valid, she was also subject to a shocking level of misogynistic bullying by the 00s media. We can question some of the trends she signaled, admire her for her business cunning, and feel bad for her as a human being all at once. Here’s our Take on why the world blamed Paris, and how she helped usher in the surreal world of famesque pseudo-event driven omni-celebrity we’re living in today.

They’re lusted after only as long as they continue to project traits like obedience, subservience, and a baby-like lack of agency or individuality.

Dark Academia yearns for a less practical, more beautiful education, and while presenting an idealized vision of scholarship, it sheds light on the failings of the actual academic world. It replicates the trappings of exclusionary institutions, but in itself is democratic and accessible. Here’s our Take on Dark Academia and what its darkness illuminates.

Épisode 582 - How Taylor Swift Created a Cinematic Universe (The TCU)

10 juin 2021

Check out The Takeaway on Panic S1: https://youtu.be/M6XiINehBnE on @PrimeVideo One of the things that makes Taylor Swift’s songs so addictive is that they exist in a larger musical universe. We’re pretty used to this in film and TV, as numerous interconnected story worlds have chased the explosive popularity of the MCU. But few artists have applied the cinematic-universe approach so extensively to music. Through her combined discography, The Taylor Swift Cinematic Universe tells a unified narrative of a woman navigating her place in the world, maturing from brash, naive youth to confident, self-assured feminist full of mature, reflective wisdom. Here’s our deep dive into the motifs and takeaways of the expansive TCU.

The story of a 13 year-old who gets her wish of fast-forwarding through into being a successful 30 year-old (Jennifer Garner) centers on a great message to learn at any age: chasing popularity won’t make you happy, and it’s crucial to hang on to what makes you original. Along the way to telling this story, though, the movie also ends up vilifying female success, and puts a lot of pressure on finding an ideal true love to a degree that every other aspect of a life (like a career, independence and personal development) don’t seem to matter.

Far from reflecting the age group he appears to belong to, Rick Sanchez's attitude is actually a mirror of the late adolescent mindset of Rick and Morty’s core demographic. The “Rick stage” around your late teens and early 20s is when your brain is at the peak of its power, life feels full of adventure, and you might sometimes think you’re the smartest person in the multiverse. Most people eventually trade in this late-adolescent “Rick stage” of arrogant independence for grown-up responsibility and commitment, but that does require sacrifice. Rick (and viewers who relate to him) may not know, or want to know, who they are behind their grandiose sense of self. Here’s our Take on how Rick Sanchez, the oldest adolescent in the galaxy, personifies this particular moment of life right before we cave to adulthood.

Épisode 588 - How "Five Stages" Misrepresented Grief Onscreen

26 juin 2021

Grief has always been an unavoidable part of the human experience. Yet for the longest time, in film and TV it’s typically been oversimplified, represented as a one-size-fits-all set of “five stages” that’s solved by the end of the story. After the events of 2020 forced our culture to collectively process grief and loss, media is at last giving us more diverse and in-depth depictions of the many forms grief takes.

By the end of the 2010s, millennials had started to embrace the mundane joys of grown-up life and clap back at Boomers for launching such an unfair critique after passing down a hostile economy. But then, millennials found themselves roasted yet again by the kids coming up behind them, as Gen-Z mercilessly took their elders to task for talking about adulting all the time, whether to complain or brag about their latest grown-up pseudo-milestone. Here’s our Take on how the millennial conversations about Adulting have shed much-needed light on that transition, and helped change how our culture views the purpose of our twenties and thirties.

Get a full month of MUBI FOR FREE: https://mubi.com/thetake (With the support of Creative Europe – MEDIA Programme of the European Union) The Dangerous Woman is the female answer to the Bad Boy. She’s a combination of a few other popular tropes: the femme fatale with a modern tough girl edge, a cool girl heightened by the so-called ‘crazy’ woman. While she might be physically dangerous, the true power -- and threat -- of the Dangerous Woman is emotional. She embodies our society’s fear of the woman who doesn’t feel the way we expect women to, or who plays with men’s feelings. Here's our Take on how the Dangerous Woman exposes our culture’s drive to compartmentalize female emotion and sexuality, and why women are drawn to this fantasy as a means of unlocking their dangerous selves within.

Épisode 591 - Why Film & TV Erased Asexuality

3 juillet 2021

This script was written by Anya Formozova. You can see more of her work here: http://www.youtube.com/c/Cue22 The saying goes that sex sells - so how do you market characters who aren't driven by sexual attraction? Asexuals have long been ignored by movies and TV, and while they have gained some onscreen representation in recent years, modern cinema still lacks proper conversations about non-sexual connection. So a discussion of asexual representation opens up a broader conversation - why does everything have to be about sex, anyway? It's limiting to make a sexual relationship the only thing characters seek or need to be fulfilled, and surely there are better ways represent asexuality on screen. Here’s our take on Asexuals in media, and why it's important to recognize that romance and sex are just a part of how we connect.

Get a full month of MUBI FOR FREE: https://mubi.com/thetake (With the support of Creative Europe – MEDIA Programme of the European Union) Lesbian period pieces seem to be everywhere these days. Since the release of 2015’s beloved Carol, there have been at least 15 other lesbian period films and several television shows; including The Handmaiden (2016), Colette (2018), Portrait of a Lady on Fire (2019), and Summerland (2020). Many of these films are appealing to viewers because they’re shot with an arthouse aesthetic, and offer a sense of empowerment to queer audiences who are not often represented on-screen. Yet Lesbian period pieces frequently cast straight, white actresses and often end tragically to fit the formulaic queer film narrative. Here’s our take on exactly why there are so many lesbian period pieces, and why it’s important not to get too stuck on any formula.

Épisode 593 - How Film & TV Misrepresented Neurodiversity

10 juillet 2021

Check out The Takeaway on The Tomorrow War: https://youtu.be/yy3EsWLDAnU on @PrimeVideo Film and TV have long failed to depict neurodiverse characters with accuracy - often framing them as the "odd one out" or as autistic savants, like in Rain Man (1988). But lately, as our society learns more about neurodiversity, we have begun to see a change. Nuanced portrayals of neurodiverse characters aim to put us in their shoes and give us a window into how they experience the world differently. Audiences have rallied behind characters such as Abed (Danny Pudi) in Community, and Sherlock Holmes (Benedict Cumberbatch) in Sherlock, reclaiming and celebrating them for providing authenticity to neurodiverse stories. Here’s our take on our evolving understanding of the neurodivergent character, and why film and TV have a responsibility to show us that thinking and behaving differently are not problems that need to be fixed.

Some of the most popular 2000's Disney Channel and Nickelodeon programs centered on teenagers girls like Amanda Bynes and Ariana Grande, which highlighted traditional aspects of femininity; crafted by corporate expectations of what girlhood should look like. The extreme purity forced on these stars often resulted in public breakdowns, exposing that while these characters may have been empowering to young audiences, they could be harmful to those who portrayed them.

In Miss Congeniality, when FBI agent Gracie Hart (Sandra Bullock) transforms into the beauty queen no one ever thought she could be, her reconstruction is framed as an uplifting tale of self-discovery. But looking back, some of the film’s messages are less than inspirational. Looks are prioritised over personality, workplace harassment goes unchallenged, and much of the humor revolves around misogynistic gender norms. These toxic takeaways aged so poorly that the sequel, Miss Congeniality 2: Armed and Fabulous, tried to rectify them a few years later. Still, there’s a lot that the original film gets right, which explains its powerful legacy. It champions female friendships, stresses the importance of having priorities outside of work, and encourages women to stand up for themselves. Here’s our take on the mixed messages of Miss Congeniality, and the legacy of this reluctant beauty queen over 20 years later.

Épisode 596 - How Raunch-Coms Saved Romantic Comedy | Time Capsule

20 juillet 2021

Check out The Takeaway on Bosch: https://youtu.be/wHaPLgWB8Nk on @PrimeVideo It's believed that the romantic comedy genre nearly died out in the late 2000s… but did it really? Early 2000s rom-com hits like How to Lose a Guy in Ten Days inspired a bunch of glossy imitations that felt increasingly removed from reality. So by the late 2000s, studios were increasingly giving up on rom-coms, seemingly in favor of R-rated comedies aimed at men; often directed, produced, or inspired by Judd Apatow. Many of these comedies, such as Knocked Up and The 40-Year-Old Virgin, are actually a lot like the films they supposedly replaced. They simply updated and reinterpreted that rom-com sensibility through a male point of view with bluntly honest dialogue and unfiltered raunchiness.

This video is brought to you by American International Pictures LLC! Watch How It Ends now on Apple TV: https://apple.co/3Bpqbac & on Amazon Prime Video: https://amzn.to/3BohHAb The Inner Child has long appeared in film and TV as a cartoon of bubbly, innocent youth, serving to remind adults to have more fun and not take everything so seriously. But is this what that child who never grew up inside of us is really like? In Comedy/Drama How It Ends, writer-directors Zoe Lister-Jones and Daryl Wein offer a more radically honest look at the Inner Child. The story follows Liza on the last day of Earth as she embarks on a series of comic visits to people with whom she has unfinished business. At her side is her Younger Self, played by Cailee Spaeny. Through this character, How It Ends interprets the Inner Child figure as a piece of the psyche that’s holding onto the past. How It Ends provides a funny and useful road map for processing today’s moment of collective societal grief and moving on from an old world that’s ending into our new, unknown future.

Watch Magnus von Horn’s exhilarating film SWEAT and get 30 days FREE at https://mubi.com/thetake (With the support of Creative Europe – MEDIA Programme of the European Union) Today’s uber-famous internet personalities have amassed growing power and intense cultural scrutiny - but who is the influencer, really? The prevailing perception of the influencer trope is that they’re vapid, opportunistic, and self-obsessed. But we’re also starting to see stories that give us a more realistic portrait of the modern influencer: someone who’s hardworking to the point of being stuck in a constant grind, anxious or insecure about being replaced by competitors, and creatively trapped by answering to sponsors who care only about the bottom line of their views and conversions. A recent standout narrative that gets to the heart of the modern influencer is SWEAT, which offers a fascinating portrait of the split personality of the modern influencer through the character of fitness influencer Sylwia. In public, she’s the motivational personal trainer who inspires religious levels of rapture from fans. In private, she’s a vulnerable, lonely young woman who has to live with the scarier realities of fame in an industry that trades privacy for views and fails to protect her.

Épisode 599 - Jennifer's Body and the Horrific Female Gaze

27 juillet 2021

Comedy-horror Jennifer’s Body, starring Megan Fox, is a case study in how camera framing, subversive writing, and self-aware characters can bring a female point of view to an overwhelmingly male genre. Yet when the film premiered it was met with negative reviews from audiences and critics alike. Director Karyn Kusama and screenwriter Diablo Cody hoped the film would appeal to teenage girls, but the studio insisted on marketing Fox’s sex appeal to men, a strategy that garnered misogynistic reviews. Then, over the years, Jennifer’s Body quietly became a cult classic, loved by fans of genre films and gaining public praise for addressing predatory male behavior long before this was reckoned with in the mainstream. Jennifer’s Body cemented its place in feminist horror by reclaiming the revenge story formula for women, to focus less on what’s done to them and more about what they feel as they navigate a world that doesn’t always value them.

Épisode 600 - The Redhead Onscreen | How We Respond To Difference

29 juillet 2021

Redheads onscreen have long fallen into two camps: fetishized or ostracized. Typically, this dividing line comes down to gender. Redheaded women, like Jessica Rabbit, are portrayed as hyper-sexual vixens; while redheaded men, like Napoleon Dynamite, are presented as undesirable outcasts. These narrow portrayals put redhead characters into limiting boxes that can be othering and even dehumanizing. Because red is the rarest hair color, the redhead has historically been used as a visual symbol of differentness. Digging deeper into onscreen portrayals of redheads, we can better understand our culture’s responses to difference in general. Moreover, this ostracization-and-fetishization dichotomy exposes how our prejudices can manifest in media.

Épisode 601 - Bo Burnham's Inside: Why 'Content' Makes Us Miserable

31 juillet 2021

Bo Burnham’s Inside is a true hybrid: the runtime of a movie, the feel of a “visual album,” the intimacy of a theatrical performance, and the general framework of a stand-up comedy special. This mix of styles and forms are intended to explore the idea of convergence, the way that once-separated forms of mass media have come together onto unified platforms thanks to the internet. Big screens and massive sound systems have been replaced by laptops and cell phones, giving us (as Burnham puts it) "a little bit of everything all of the time." Inside asks how this relatively new way of consuming media has affected our mental state, specifically during the Covid pandemic when convergence has met with mass isolation and uncertainty.

Épisode 602 - The Dysfunctional Family Onscreen - The New “Normal”

3 août 2021

Get Honey for FREE today ▸ https://joinhoney.com/thetake Honey finds coupons with one click. Thanks to Honey for sponsoring! Dysfunctional families may be stressful, chaotic, full of bad role models and prone to exploding at any time - but they're also fun. For a long time the TV family projected an ideal of the stable, healthy family. But today, whether it's issues of too much or too little money, changing values, or generation gaps, families onscreen have increasingly moved away from that nuclear myth. Ironically, instead of challenging the notion of family, dysfunctional family stories usually reaffirm its importance and underline the life lessons and joys family can yield-- perhaps even more so when it diverges from our ideas of a perfect norm. So the dysfunctional family’s lack of harmony might just be the inspiration we need to embrace the ways that we all deviate from the “functional” mold.

Épisode 603 - The Magical Minority Trope is Still a Problem

5 août 2021

Go to https://NordVPN.com/thetake to get a 2-year plan at a huge discount plus 4 months free. It’s risk free with Nord’s 30 day money-back guarantee! The Magical Minority trope has been widely condemned for its racist undertones and problematic takeaways -- yet to this day it’s strangely difficult to get rid of. It involves a person of color existing in a film or TV show seemingly just to serve the heroic endeavors of the white protagonist. The Magical Minority uses a special “gift” they possess, whether it's mystical connection to the supernatural, hyper-intelligence in a specific area, or an exceptional talent. And they apparently expect little to nothing in return besides the satisfaction of helping the white person find themselves. The Magical Minority actually stems from fake progressivism and a surface attempt to create “positive” media representation of people of color. But given the realities of race in America, this trope is a white writer’s fantasy. It soothes white guilt by providing white audiences with sympathetic white protagonists to see themselves in, without having to shift focus away from the white character’s experience. And it depicts people of color as helpers or servers, instead of as whole, autonomous people with their own dreams and goals.

The classic high school hierarchy of jocks, cheerleaders, and nerds that dominated teen movies for decades is officially dead. Instead, the new high school cafeteria is populated by E-Girls, Soft Boys, Gym Bros and VSCO Gals. Social media platforms like TikTok make it easier for young people to find communities of compatible peers as well as bigger issues to engage with, thus breaking down the social boundaries that long defined the rigid, outdated high-school hierarchy. Classic ideas of "popularity" are being replaced as members of previously marginalized cliques can now enjoy the power and influence that was once reserved only for the cool kids. These new, TikTok-inspired tropes integrate memes and social media aesthetics with film and TV influences, while reflecting real-life trends and personalities.

Épisode 605 - Scarlett Johansson vs. Disney - The Future of Movie Stars

10 août 2021

It’s the lawsuit heard around the entertainment world. Scarlet Johansson's legal and PR battle with Disney over her Black Widow (2021) earnings is unusually public and hostile for a relationship between an actor and a studio who’ve done nine movies together. The star claims Disney breached her contract by releasing Black Widow on Disney+ at the same time as its theatrical run, thereby depriving her of millions in bonuses tied to box office milestones. Disney’s reply to the suit was personal and viscous. The corporation’s portrait of her as a “callous” woman seems tailored to incite misogyny as a distraction from the apparent hypocrisy of suggesting she needn’t get paid during a pandemic even though Disney's stock price is on a healthy up-and-up. The emotional intensity surrounding this lawsuit signals a bigger power struggle that’s gearing up between stars and studios, as both anxiously eye a future where blockbusters increasingly live on streaming platforms.

Épisode 606 - The “Asexual” Asian Man - End the Undesirable Stereotype

12 août 2021

Asian male characters in film and TV have long been sidelined, emasculated, and denied the chance to have romantic or sexual relationships -- that’s when they’re not openly mocked. In an inverse of the trend of fetishizing Asian women through the “lotus blossom” trope, Asian men are consistently desexualized onscreen. This has directly led to the damaging, widespread perception in US society that Asian men are less masculine or sexually desirable, so it’s more important than ever to move past it.

Épisode 607 - The Nag Trope - It’s Time to Write It Out

14 août 2021

The henpecked husband traverses centuries and genres, but why, after decades of feminism, is the nagging wife a character we still accept? The “nag” in film and TV is often cast as materialistic, pushy, and unfaithful. Furthermore, she is often depicted as unappealing and willing to raise her voice. Even if what she asks of her partner is actually pretty reasonable, her tone or the incessantness of her demands is played as insufferably annoying. Thus she can serve as a kind of emotional “scapegoat” allowing viewers to excuse her male partner’s blatantly irresponsible behavior. Increasingly, stories from the nag’s perspective explore how she’s often an overstretched wife and mom juggling a lot and carrying an intense mental load, while feeling let down by a partner who’s not committing the same effort or showing her due respect. So where does “the nag” come from and what can we learn by hearing her side?

17 août 2021

Studio Ghibli’s Ponyo is a love letter to the environment and a call to action for all of us to start taking responsibility for the natural world. The film from Hayao Miyazaki involves a water-dwelling creature falling in love with a human, and the two figuring out how to maintain that relationship, either on land or in the sea. Ponyo focuses on a more innocent and deeper love between children, and the love between them is representative of Sosuke’s respectful devotion to the environment.

19 août 2021

Mukbang videos have become one of the most viral internet subcultures in recent years, but why do audiences flock to watch YouTubers gorge on masses of food? These “eating broadcasts” originate from Korea, and are rooted in the specific cultural attitude that food is for sharing. As the pandemic has further isolated us and made communal eating all but impossible, mukbang’s popularity has grown even further. It can allow us to self-indulge without consequences and satisfy our desire for gastronomic connection. But when taken to an extreme or too closely emulated in real life, mukbang can become harmful to both viewers and creators.

Try AcornTV free for 30 days by going to https://Acorn.TV and using promo code: thetake Our society is fascinated with power couples, whether they’re thriving, splitting up or long over. Since power couples consist of two high-achievers, often in the public eye, they tend to be made up of two alphas: ambitious people with a strong sense of self, who like to be in control. But while this strong personality type is the key to their individual success, it may also trigger their relationship’s downfall. Their success as a couple often hinges on whether both parties support each other's power, if they're willing relinquish some of their own, and how much they’re confined by old-school gender roles.

Épisode 611 - How Kate Middleton Branded Motherhood

24 août 2021

Get a full month of MUBI FOR FREE: https://mubi.com/thetake (With the support of Creative Europe – MEDIA Programme of the European Union) Kate Middleton’s personal "Mum" brand juggles aspiration and relatability, mirroring the impossible expectations put on all working moms today -- to be perfectly put-together and professionally successful, while also feeling normal, down-to-earth, and never too busy to put the kids first. Our collective rhetoric has largely moved past the idea of women “having it all,” but the Duchess of Cambridge embodies how modern moms are still expected to do it all. We can see how the Duchess reflects broader mom trends: how women are having babies later when their careers are more established, how the “work” and “mom” identities are becoming more integrated, and how parental load is at last more talked about. Kate’s motherhood brand is also part of how the monarchy is attempting to update itself for the 21st century. Embodying a traditionalism that’s simultaneously accessible and up-to-date, Kate appears to both appeal to a conservative idea of the English mum and align with more contemporary conversations and sensibilities.

26 août 2021

Get a full month of MUBI FOR FREE: https://mubi.com/thetake (With the support of Creative Europe – MEDIA Programme of the European Union) Darren Aronofsky’s Black Swan is a cautionary tale about toxic perfectionism. In the final moments of the film, Natalie Portman’s Nina thinks she’s destroying her rival ballerina, Mila Kunis’ Lily, but in reality, she’s destroying herself. On stage, we see her at last fully become the black swan, now free from the controlling repression of the “white swan” within herself. So, what are we to make of this ending? When we look at this from Nina’s point of view, it almost feels like a happy ending. But the truth of this ending is tragic: her perfectionism literally destroyed her, and most would agree that her perfect performance cost way too high a price. Black Swan’s ending teaches us to break free from perfection and embrace creative freedom.

Épisode 614 - Main Character Syndrome: Why You Should Be Self-Centered

31 août 2021

Get a full month of MUBI FOR FREE: https://mubi.com/thetake (With the support of Creative Europe – MEDIA Programme of the European Union) Is being self-centered a bad thing? Not according to the TikTok trend of Main Character Syndrome. So, how can you become the protagonist of your story? Fundamentally, Main Character Syndrome is acting as though your life is a movie, and you’re the star. It’s about living life cinematically, romanticizing even the smallest of moments, and curating the best parts of your story. But Main Character Syndrome can also become toxic. It might involve casting others around you as minor characters in your Oscar-worthy life -- and writing them into your story without much regard for their feelings and inner worlds. On the surface, it sounds a lot like a narcissistic personality disorder. But the reason so many are embracing it is that (in moderation) it can actually be positive and empowering, especially for those not used to feeling like a main character or being encouraged to think of themselves that way.

Épisode 615 - Why Mean Girls' Regina George is So Miserable

2 septembre 2021

Why is Mean Girls' Regina George so miserable? One increasingly popular explanation is that she’s fed up with her constant performance of Compulsory Heterosexuality, or Comphet -- leading us to ponder, “Could we read her as queer?" Comphet sends the unspoken message that heterosexuality is “normal” (so anything else isn’t), and it conditions women to think that being desirable to men gives them value. Regina displays the trademark behaviors of someone who’s working hard to adhere to comphet, including her hyper feminine aesthetic, her publicly showing off relationships with men, and her policing of other women. Whether she’s ultimately queer or just unhappy with her culture’s unstated “rules” of how girls are expected to act, her dedicated performance of Compulsory Heterosexuality is a major reason why she’s so hostile, destructive and mean.

4 septembre 2021

When did work stop being funny -- or even fun? While the workplace drama has performed consistently well, the workplace comedy has a much more fickle history -- one that closely mirrors our evolving relationship to capitalism. Fundamentally, our willingness to spend twenty-two minutes joking around in someone else’s office has a lot to do with how we feel about our own jobs. So how has the workplace comedy tracked the shift in the American economy, and what does it reveal about our feeling of being trapped like a cog in the capitalist machine?

It's power boils down to one word: drama. There’s nothing audiences love more than celebrity drama, especially when it revolves around betrayal and diss tracks. But it also seems that audiences can’t help but project their own drama onto Rodrigo’s music, as she’s captured something universal in the emotions of both her work and the narrative surrounding it. Most strikingly, in a world where young female artists are often sidelined, pegged as “too emotional”, and marketed only to young girls, this Gen Z figure has captured a large millennial fanbase across the gender spectrum.

As our culture collectively revisits the misogynistic treatment of the Britneys, Parises, and Megans of the 2000s, we have to ask: WHY was this era so deeply toxic for women? A key answer to this question is a thing called "Postfeminism": the belief that misogyny and sexism are over, and therefore “feminism” is no longer necessary. Surely, many films or shows that can be called “postfeminist” contain some wonderful complexity, honesty and humor, and there are many people who identify with or take empowerment from postfeminism’s emphasis on individualism and freedom. But those values can’t be a replacement for addressing the structural problems that women continue to face.

Hear us out -- what if Nate is actually not the true villain of The Devil Wears Prada? Our collective rush to see him as the bad guy reflected the cultural moment of the late 2010s: as # Me-Too concerns began to dominate the zeitgeist, working woman Andy’s resilience and work ethic were seen as enviable, and Miranda’s cruelty was portrayed as an unfortunate necessity to a woman’s professional success. However, today’s focus has shifted increasingly toward other components of the picture The Devil Wears Prada depicts; like the toxicity of Runway’s hustle culture, the dangers of burnout, and the problems with self-serving, commercial feminism or a “Girl Boss” frame of mind. Through this lens, we think it’s time to give Nate some credit because he was (maybe, just a little bit) right all along.

The Meme-ing of the Royals has demystified the Monarchy, making them feel like any other 21st century celebrity. Some have worried about the mystery and gravitas that the monarchy has lost. But it’s that very loss that’s helping the royals to evolve into an entity which a younger generation can relate to -- and might just help the Monarchy survive.

Épisode 626 - How to Tell She's Definitely NOT a Mary Sue

30 septembre 2021

So many of today's female protagonists are written to be unrealistically perfect, with their superhuman skills and one-dimensional strengths actually making them come off as boring and annoying. This flawlessly strong characterization may seem like “positive” female representation on the surface, but because the characterization is so weak, it's actually a form of tokenism referred to as a "Mary-Sue." Recent works have attempted to undo this poor writing, with the "Non-Mary Sue" serving as a dynamic female character, whose flaws are intrinsically connected to her story. So what exactly makes a "Non-Mary Sue"?

But since then, priorities have shifted away from “adult” movies and toward mega-blockbuster tentpoles or prestige-minded streaming shows.

Today’s film, TV and cultural conversations are making big strides in addressing a number of long-entrenched prejudices, so why do many people still act like it’s okay to mock, lecture or belittle fat people? Fatphobia is so normalized and pervasive in our society that we might not even see all the ways it manifests. Today, at last, some more nuanced stories are destigmatizing and centering fat characters in all their complexity -- and creators like Shrill’s Aidy Bryant and Lindy West are even reclaiming the word 'fat' itself.

There are few characters who’ve become as divisive in recent years as Rachel Berry, Glee’s high-strung protagonist with a voice of gold and a fiery passion for musical theatre.

Meanwhile the theater kid community on TikTok is growing as a supportive, inclusive space for people to share their creativity and find others with a shared passion for this space.

Korean thriller Squid Game is a massive overnight hit, potentially Netflix’s biggest show of all time! Squid Game comes in the wake of a number of movies and TV shows that use potent, gripping metaphors to dissect capitalism. Popular examples include the upstairs/downstairs dynamics of Bong Joon-Ho's Snowpiercer and Parasite, the work-as-slavery plot in Boots Riley’s Sorry to Bother You, and the death game blockbuster The Hunger Games. But like most big-budget media properties that try to critique the systems they exist in, Squid Game ends with a fundamental ambivalence -- one that flinches from its own critique at the last minute with a “fantasy” ending that undercuts its own key message.

Check out The Takeaway on The Wilds: https://youtu.be/46R9jMFVgPg on @PrimeVideo “Girl power” tells us that girls can do anything -- but can this sugary sweet message actually prevent us from fixing a world that doesn’t let young women realize their full power? 90's “girl power” like Buffy and Xena were created by men, while popular men’s magazines like Maxim were redefining the feminine ideal as a woman who was loud, brash, and unapologetic. Today we can see the dark sides of capitalism-friendly girl power in its descendent “girlboss feminism” which is increasingly condemned. And it’s this commodification of feminism -- turning it into a sanitized, child-friendly brand -- that is girl power’s most enduring legacy.

Épisode 645 - How Today's Viewer Experience is Changing Our Minds

13 novembre 2021

We received this amazing LG OLED TV in exchange for our review and were blown away! For more information on LG OLED TV C1: https://bit.ly/TheTake_LGOLEDTV_YTI What is today’s viewer experience doing to our heads? Diving down TikTok rabbit holes, binge-watching hours of YouTube and Netflix, streaming big-budget movies on small phone screens, and passively consuming music on an algorithmic “mood” playlist. Being a “viewer” today is all-encompassing yet fragmented, immersive and interactive yet at other times passive, and perhaps, overwhelming. The viewer experience is fundamentally changing, and it’s rapidly transforming our relationship to art, attention, and ourselves.

Get a full month of MUBI FOR FREE: https://mubi.com/thetake GET YOUR WEIRD GIRL MERCH: https://bit.ly/3dcsJ0H Classic movies literally invented movie magic, and they hold a timeless charm that needs to be preserved -- so how can we stop them from dying out? Many young people today haven’t been conditioned to watch movies with black and white visuals, super long takes, film grain, or theatrical dialogue. But there’s a lot that we stand to lose if we keep letting recency bias turn classic cinema into an ever-more-obscure “niche interest.” WEIRD GIRL MERCH: ALL 5 TYPES: https://the-take.creator-spring.com/listing/the-weird-girls-all-5-types BLACK & WHITE INK DESIGN: https://the-take.creator-spring.com/listing/the-weird-girl-black-and-white?product=95&variation=2264&size=558 THE SPACE CADET: https://the-take.creator-spring.com/listing/space-cadet-which-weird-girl?product=624 THE GOTH: https://the-take.creator-spring.com/listing/goth-weird-girl?product=95 THE SMARTASS: https://the-take.creator-spring.com/listing/the-smartass-weird-girl THE BASKET CASE: https://the-take.creator-spring.com/listing/basket-case-design-the-bask THE MISFIT : https://the-take.creator-spring.com/listing/the-misfit-which-weird-girl?product=624 WHAT'S YOUR TROPE? https://the-take.creator-spring.com/listing/what-s-your-trope?product=1637 If you like this video, subscribe to our channel and support us: Shop our Weird Girl Trope Merch: https://the-take.creator-spring.com/ Join our Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/thetake TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thisisthetake Instagram: http://instagram.com/ThisIsTheTake Podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/2eSs6I12WGcAhBfCZ8YpGm?si=8be06c1575594e56 We are The Take (formerly ScreenPrism).

Épisode 667 - Janet Jackson Is Not Your Jezebel - Taking Back Control

6 janvier 2022

After the 2004 Super Bowl “wardrobe malfunction,” Janet Jackson was forced to perform public penance as the media cast her as the caricature of the Jezebel. The tragic irony is that Janet’s music, which catapulted her to icon status in the 80's and 90's, has long chronicled her attitude to her own body and sexuality. So it's time to look holistically at Janet's career and appreciate what she's contributed.

1 février 2022

Check out The Take's podcast to listen to our episodes on the go! https://spoti.fi/3samykB From the earliest days of film and television, disability has been used as a metaphor for villainy. Disabled characters have been portrayed as either innately wicked, turning diabolical in their moment of disfigurement, or generally despising their condition and seeking to harm the able-bodied. The disabled villain trope denies disabled characters any real personhood, and instead turns them into devices to visually contrast with “heroic” characters.

8 mars 2022

Go to http://stamps.com and use code THETAKE to claim your special offer today! The "Disposable Black Love Interest" functions as an obstacle along the way to the protagonist’s real (white) love.

Get a full month of MUBI FOR FREE: https://mubi.com/thetake If we look at Paul Thomas Anderson’s filmography, his romantic storylines are full of red flags, inappropriateness, obsession, and an overriding sense of uneasiness. And as toxic as some of these couplings may be, they can also feel functional in their own weird way. In reality, Anderson’s movies suggest, it might not always be simple to separate the love from the messy person who comes with it.

While most onscreen tech villains draw inspiration from Mark Zuckerberg, others - such as Silicon Valley’s Gavin Belson - have been modeled on real figures like Sergei Brin and Jeff Bezos. Meanwhile, we are seeing more adaptions of real-life tech juggernauts in WeCrashed and The Dropout.

Épisode 725 - Romantic stories are full of red flags. Why do we love them?

21 mai 2022

Check out The Takeaway The Wilds Season 2 on @PrimeVideo https://youtu.be/9LciXOSDt8Y. We break down the shocking ending and dig through the answers this season gave us, plus the show's biggest new mysteries. Are dating red flags… romantic? Of course not! But film and TV tend to romanticize totally terrible behavior, like Edward Cullen stalking Bella in Twilight, or Christian Grey taking advantage of Anastasia in 50 Shades. The scary reality is that viewers might find themselves longing for an intense, crazy, unstable relationship like the ones seen onscreen.

Épisode 728 - The Depp-Heard Trial is an ugly, scary trial by social media

28 mai 2022

The court case between Johnny Depp and Amber Heard is messy, complicated, and full of mixed evidence for and against each person – so why has so much of the online response rushed to assume his innocence and her guilt?

Épisode 730 - Why Abbott Elementary is 2022's stand-out sitcom

2 juin 2022

Even at its funniest, Quinta Brunson's Abbott Elementary reminds us constantly that teachers’ work is never easy. There’s never enough money and there are no magic solutions. This focus on relatability ties into Abbott Elementary’s relationship with TV history. So what makes it so fresh, and popular?

Épisode 731 - Closeted Bullies are all over our screens. How real is this trope?

4 juin 2022

The “closeted homophobe” trope suggests that homophobia always stems from closeted queer people, from Sex Education's Adam to Glee's Dave. However, this can send a troubling message when the character is made into a cardboard villain whose disdainful attitude toward queer people is framed solely as an expression of their repressed sexuality.

Épisode 733 - Why do people love the indie jerkboy? Riverdale's Jughead

9 juin 2022

Riverdale's Jughead Jones be incredibly annoying, but is that what we like about him? Where the Jughead of Archie comics is a happy-go-lucky, food-motivated sidekick to his friend Archie, Riverdale’s version of the character is a brooding, pretentious writer who serves as the over-the-top series’ narrator. Jughead joins a long line of self-serious indie guys on TV and in movies, who grate on us with their sense of superiority and cultural obsessions: Dan Humphrey in Gossip Girl, Jack Berger in Sex and the City, Kyle in Lady Bird.

Sometimes her intelligence is cemented by the presence of a "dumb blonde," and these two stereotypes create a kind of feedback loop, each intensifying the other.

Épisode 739 - Margot Robbie's Barbie and the Doll's Surprising (Feminist) History

23 juin 2022

The 2023 live-action Barbie movie directed by feminist indie filmmaker Greta Gerwig and starring modern bombshell Margot Robbie may have been surprising at first, but actually feels like a natural progression. As the Barbie doll has morphed over the years, she’s actually been a powerful mirror for the changing roles of women in the late 20th and 21st centuries. Today she can appear like an easy target for criticism, but in fact Barbie’s legacy is far richer and more complex as a figure who’s worked hard to bring feminist conversations into the mainstream.

Ever since her role as Eleven on Stranger Things shot 12 year-old Millie to fame in 2016, she’s been navigating the rocky path from child star to adult superstar – and it’s not been easy. Because fans love Eleven so much, not everyone has been so happy about Millie expressing her own personality or developing from a cute child into a full-on woman.

5 juillet 2022

Teens on screens big and small are having some wild times. These depictions of out-of-control, risk-taking teens often fall into two categories: one type is almost aspirational, a glamorous dream of the sexy teenage life we wish we had. The other is a cautionary tale, often moralizing about how the younger generation have been corrupted and signal a world that’s falling apart. Is the risque teen trope an accurate depiction of what teenage life is like (now or ever)? Or is it an adult’s imagination of what kids today are up to?

Épisode 745 - Celebs don't age anymore. Is that bad for the rest of us?

7 juillet 2022

Aging is an unavoidable part of life - or at least it used to be. But this doesn’t seem to be true for today’s celebrities. On the one hand, Hollywood worships the trappings of youth as much as ever, but on the other, it loves some relatively old stars. From Sandra Bullock to Tom Cruise to Will Smith, big stars in their 50s are everywhere you look. So is it simply a great thing that actors' careers aren't dead after they hit a certain age now – or does it not really count if we’re embracing middle-aged and older actors if their continued popularity depends on them not looking it?

Épisode 746 - Stranger Things Season 4’s deeper meaning, explained - Why it’s better than ever

9 juillet 2022

Stranger Things’ epic fourth season hits close to home: unlike in the previous two seasons, the threat feels personal. Venca is a villain targeting individuals by preying on a vulnerability we can all relate to in today’s day and age. We also get to see new dimensions of old characters, exciting protagonists like Nancy Wheeler are foregrounded with a unique vigor, and a fresh antagonist digs into everyone’s emotional baggage. Here’s our take on the three ways that Season 4 of Stranger Things is a great return to what made the show so successful in the first place – and on what Season 4 all really meant.

Épisode 749 - The Handmaid's Tale - What's Come True and What Hasn't (Yet)

16 juillet 2022

As the shock of the supreme court overturning Roe v. Wade spread through the US, many turned to comparisons to The Handmaid’s Tale. The horrific dystopian series based on Margaret Atwood’s 1985 novel about fertile women being turned into child-bearing slaves struck a nerve when it started airing in 2017, as the election of Donald Trump suddenly made the story feel a little less far-fetched. But a few years later, The Handmaid’s Tale's brutal, medieval-feeling Republic of Gilead seems downright possible here in the USA – and a lot sooner than we could’ve ever imagined.

Épisode 751 - The Cougar Trope - Female desire is not a joke

21 juillet 2022

The Cougar Trope kicked the door open for older women on screen, but is it time we left her behind? When the Cougar Trope first rose to prominence, she embodied some positive aspects we rarely see in depictions of older women, like being empowered, sexy, and going for what she wants. However, often these positive traits are played for laughs, which undercuts her sexuality. And there might be a power imbalance between the older woman and the younger man that’s uncomfortable.

Épisode 754 - How the "Manipulative Victim" Trope Shaped the Depp-Heard Trial

28 juillet 2022

Why were so many people so ready to believe that Amber Heard was lying in Johnny Depp’s defamation trial against her? Does the answer actually have something to do with our popular storytelling tropes? Stories about women being deceptive or manipulative have been embedded in our culture for millennia, dating all the way back to Adam and Eve. And they’ve become crystalized in the figure of the devious “female mastermind,” who can lie and control others at will. Here’s our take on how our narratives around the Depp-Heard trial draw on the tropes of the perfect victim and the devious manipulative woman, and how both of these fictional ideas fuel dangerous societal misogyny.

Though it’s long been a cult-classic, the 1999 movie directed by David Fincher and based on the novel by Chuck Palahniuk has, in much of pop culture, been reduced to – or misread as – a simplistic argument for violence and validating male frustration.

If celebrities can start over at any age, can we, too? These days the news is full of famous people happily starting second chapters – like Megan Fox with Machine Gun Kelly, Kourtney Kardashian with Travis Barker, and Kim Kardashian with Pete Davidson. So often we’re led to believe that, after a certain age, people are just stuck with their lot in life, however bad the job or relationship is.

Épisode 757 - Why Gen Z is already burning out (and how to cope)

4 août 2022

For years, narratives about members of Gen Z – born from the late-90s to the early 2010s – centered on how they’re politically active, socially conscious and far more “together” and financially responsible than the Millennials before them. But we’re starting to hear another story: Gen Z are reportedly feeling intense fatigue and spiritual exhaustion, even as they just begin to take on careers and adult responsibilities. So what does it say if the youngest adults are feeling burnt out already – and will the kids be alright?

Épisode 760 - The Daddy’s Girl Trope - Why Our Culture Fetishizes Her

11 août 2022

In our culture, the father/daughter relationship is a romance. And the ‘daddy’s girl’ is seen through the rose-colored glasses of a father who never wants her to grow up. Onscreen, she's an idealized – but stunted – version of femininity, one who’s focused on pleasing and getting praise for doing whatever her dad approves of. The dynamic appears in adulthood as a kind of role play: with the daughter as an infantilized, helpless innocent, and the father her heroic savior.

Manifesting is everywhere these days, the hashtag “manifesting” has over 3 billion views on TikTok and the hashtag “law of attraction” has even more. The app has hundreds of videos of people claiming a sound or method changed their entire lives. The core principle behind manifesting is that the things we think or feel attract the reality we live. It’s a pretty ancient philosophy, but today’s mainstream resurgence of manifesting – especially among younger people – also hints at a larger feeling of powerlessness in the face of bigger, systemic problems out of our control.

Barbiecore is the fashion trend of the moment.

Épisode 766 - The Beyoncé-Kelis Drama - How the music industry screws over artists

25 août 2022

Beyoncé may have quietly removed a portion of her song Energy that interpolated Kelis’ Milkshake… but did she do anything wrong in the first place? This drama is the latest in a long line of musical spats that boil down to the question of who owns a song. In the past few years Ed Sheeran and Olivia Rodrigo have had to give writing credits after the fact to artists who claimed that their songs were guilty of plagiarism, despite the songs in question neither sampling nor interpolating the material in question.

She’s the supposed focus of the story, but what we’re really seeing is the story of the people around her left alive to pick up the pieces. The portrait of her is mainly a reflection of who is telling the story, and in stories we do get to hear the dead girl’s voice there’s a tension between the angelic memorial and the real story.

Perhaps the most controversial, hated – and misunderstood – part of the buzz around Girls was star and creator Lena Dunham’s main character, Hannah Horvath.

Nepo babies are everywhere in entertainment these days – from Maude Apatow to Dakota Johnson to Nicolas Cage, one of your favorite actors is probably related to the Hollywood elite. A nepotism baby is the child of wealthy, well-connected parents who are famous or highly successful in the entertainment industry, and the nepo baby experiences an expeditious ascent to fame, wealth, and success – at least in part thanks to their family’s connections and status. For some, the nepo baby is an opulent fantasy; for others, discovering another nepo baby feels like more proof that America’s meritocracy is broken.

From making Daenerys the ultimate villain of Game of Thrones to centering dramatizations of real-life cautionary tales like Elizabeth Holmes, popular stories tend to paint women leaders as either too idealistic and emotional; ruthless, conniving Lady Macbeth types; or self-serving, hypocritical Girlbosses who tout their gender as a reason to trust them but turn out to be corrupt frauds.

Épisode 771 - How We Overcorrected the Damsel in Distress Trope

6 septembre 2022

The classic damsel in distress is a weak, passive character who lacks agency--there to make the male hero look heroic. In our modern times, many have criticized this trope, and tried to leave her behind. But as we’ve tried to correct this trope, there’s been an increase in borderline Mary Sue type characters who are almost too strong, too perfect, and not relatable. Here’s our take on the damsel in distress, and how in trying to fight against this originally sexist trope, we’ve created new problems that need to be solved.

A court jester type character, he’s more aware of how the family looks to outsiders than the rest, becoming a running commentary on Roy family pathology. We don’t usually get insight into the “jester” character’s feelings, but with Roman we see where his pain comes from, what makes him compulsively crack jokes. The Season Three finale gives us hope that he just might be able to escape his father’s influence. The way out of his trauma is going through it, again and again and again.

Today’s new era of con artists aren’t the hardened, film noir criminals of the past; they’re slick, manipulative social media scammers, or glamorous-looking hustlers determined to fake it until they make it.

Épisode 776 - Marilyn Monroe - Will Blonde Exploit or Respect Her Mythic Femininity?

17 septembre 2022

Get a full month of MUBI FOR FREE: https://mubi.com/thetake Marilyn Monroe as an idea has taken on a meaning all its own—the blonde bombshell, and the ultimate embodiment of a certain type of mythic femininity, something that’s closer to the idea of femininity than the real thing. But the new movie Blonde, based on the novel by Joyce Carol Oates and starring Ana de Armas as Monroe, attempts to excavate the person from underneath all of the myth. Here’s our take on the idea of Marilyn Monroe as the perfect woman, and how it’s time to dig deeper past the one-dimensional symbol of Marilyn to better understand the nature of celebrity femininity.

20 septembre 2022

Why is everyone on Gossip Girl so obsessed with Serena? The Gossip Girl characters are fixated on Serena as the ultimate “It Girl”, someone who manages to effortlessly captivate everyone around her. But Serena’s appeal also comes, in part, from her ambivalence, the sense that she doesn’t actually want to be part of the world of New York’s elite. Still, is her “nice rich girl” persona just an act?

Épisode 784 - The Devil Wears Prada - How Andy Predicted the Girlboss Era

27 septembre 2022

In The Devil Wears Prada, the protagonist, Andy Sachs, gets the kind of opportunity people dream of. But in order to benefit from it, she needs to give up part of herself. In this spin on the Faustian bargain, Andy’s transformation from a poorly-dressed, out-of-work journalist to a jet-setting, high-fashion working girl is more cautionary than aspirational. Eventually Andy rejects the Girl Boss fantasy and the earthly pleasures of her deal with the devil of the fashion world, choosing a path more true to her core values. So what is it about Miranda Priestly's Girl Boss, Lean In-style path to success that is so tempting to our onion-breathed heroine, and how did Andy’s final decision prefigure today’s scorn for the false promise of the whole Girl Boss myth?

Épisode 787 - The Dangers of Making Everyone Too Pretty for Screen

30 septembre 2022

Is it a problem that Hollywood’s stars are too beautiful – especially when they’re playing real people? It’s no surprise that the entertainment industry values attractiveness. But sometimes, there are drawbacks to casting a pretty person as a particular character. From The Dropout to Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story, these days we’re seeing more and more portrayals of real people onscreen – often antiheroic ones who are ethically compromised, if not downright villainous. Here’s our take on the dangers of making everyone too beautiful onscreen - and when it can sometimes work for the story.

Épisode 788 - The Hateable Socialite - Why We Love to Hate-Watch Her

1 octobre 2022

From the Kardashians and Paris Hilton to Emily Gilmore and Moira Rose, we relish the lives of real and fictional socialites, people whose job is just to be in the upper echelons of society. In part, watching these people feels like wish fulfillment. But we also crave stories about socialites’ downfalls — stories that allow us to experience a certain schadenfreude and a sense of superiority over those who are so above the rest of us in terms of money and status. The socialite embodies the best and worst America has to offer — but they just may be more complicated and less in control than we think.

Épisode 789 - Mean Girls' Cady - What Peer Pressure Does to a Girl

3 octobre 2022

Cady Heron’s story arc in Mean Girls is really a study of the dangers of peer pressure. At first, Cady doesn’t fit any of the clearly delineated categories that her peers are neatly sorted into and as a result she feels completely alone. So Cady lets herself be directed – first by Janis, and then by the Plastics. But this means completely losing sight of herself and denying her true interests. Here’s our take on how Cady Heron illustrates that adolescence is about figuring out who you are, not who other people think you should be.

Épisode 790 - The "Death" of Feminism - Why The Movement Is In Crisis

4 octobre 2022

Is feminism going out of fashion? This crisis in the feminism movement couldn’t really come at a worse time for American women. There’s the Supreme Court’s overturning of Roe v. Wade, how the COVID-19 pandemic disproportionately put women out of work, problems like workplace sexual harassment and unequal pay that aren’t going away and may be getting worse, and a Me-Too backlash in full swing that’s unleashed a torrent of shocking misogyny. So how did we get here, when a mere six years ago Me Too’s cultural moment seemed to promise a new era? And is it possible to channel all these setbacks to reignite our passion for women’s rights with a more meaningful feminist framework for our times?

Épisode 793 - The Royals’ Future Is Looking Messy

6 octobre 2022

The British Monarchy is facing a long-dreaded question: can the Crown still feel as culturally important without Queen Elizabeth II, or is the new King Charles already doing irreparable damage to its relevance? The public grief over the Queen that poured out over the Queen’s death spoke to widespread admiration for how she did her duty, and had an almost grandmotherly relationship with the nation. It’s an understatement to say the Queen’s firstborn son, King Charles, has never enjoyed the same popularity. Prince William and his future Queen Consort Kate, are far more popular, but what could happen to the institution in the time until they succeed Charles? And will Harry and Meghan being away from the UK hurt this picture – or according to some recent suggestions, actually help things?

These huge cultural movements may not touch directly on contemporary women’s struggles, but the characters at their heart are all attempting to reflect a truth of what being a millennial or gen-z woman is, and create a space to talk about how difficult, traumatic, and just tiring it can be.

Épisode 800 - Glee’s Santana Was Never the Villain - How She Became an Icon

15 octobre 2022

Was charismatic mean girl and queer icon Santana Lopez ever really a villain, or a secret hero all along? When it comes to characters to root for on ‘Glee’, it’s not as simple as ‘love the main character, hate the antagonist.' One name that continuously pops up on lists of ‘best’ and ‘nastiest’ Glee characters is Naya Rivera’s Santana - a character who was unmistakably introduced as a villain, with her signature snappy comebacks and harsh insults. But thanks to Rivera’s performance, an unorthodox coming out narrative, and her channeling her mean girl energy to fight the bullies, Santana ends the show as one of the most lovable, easy to root for characters.

Épisode 801 - Why Quiet Quitting is a Good Sign - The Future of American Work Culture

16 octobre 2022

The internet can’t stop talking about “Quiet Quitting” – i.e. when an employee stops coming in early, leaves on time, and doesn’t do more than their actual job. Using this term to describe an employee just not exploiting themselves is hilariously revealing about American work culture. And while all this talk of quiet quitting and burnout sounds pretty negative, actually it’s a very positive sign – that collectively our attitude toward deep-seated toxic workplace expectations is shifting.

This script was written by Anya Formozova.

Like the stereotypical “Mean Girl” ringleader, she’s popular, has lots of confidence, and some anger issues... The difference is, Maddy’s a really good friend, rather than a cruel despot, and her anger tends to be justified, not indiscriminate. Maddy is the character you get if you take the Alpha “mean girl” seriously and look into what made her and what it’s like to be her.

Épisode 809 - How House of the Dragon “Fixed” Game of Thrones

23 octobre 2022

House of the Dragon has doubled down on some of the most popular things about Game of Thrones – the Targaryens, dragons, and epic battles. Meanwhile, it’s fixed some of the original show’s most notorious issues, responding to common criticisms like the series’ depiction of women, violence and diversity. And while critics may have expected these corrections to result in a more stale or boring show, arguably they’ve helped to make House of the Dragon’s entertainment value sharper – and better. So how House of the Dragon fixed parts of what went wrong on Game of Thrones — and where does it still needs to catch up?

A cousin of the femme fatale, she emerged from a pre-code era when antagonists didn’t need sympathetic backstories to give them some humanity. Her desire for money, or power, is insatiable, and makes her one of culture’s most alluring villains. But very rarely does the vamp win, and quite often she’s balanced out by another, less vivacious female character. The fact that The Vamp has obtained power from her beauty is at the core of why she is such a villain. The Vamp embodies exaggerated versions of all the things women are told they can’t be, and eventually, she’s punished for it.

They are now running a massive Early Black Friday Sale, plus 10% off on any purchase with code THETAKE After Galadriel spent all season of The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power hunting for the Dark Lord Sauron, the finale revealed he was closer than she ever thought. There are some interesting results of turning our collective image of Sauron from an impersonal, abstractly evil Dark Lord into someone young, charismatic, slyly manipulative and – yes – hot. The finale also opened with a fake-out relating to the Stranger. These reveals underline the biggest takeaway of the story: that it can be difficult to tell the light from the dark, but ultimately everyone has the ability to choose between good or evil.

Épisode 822 - Daddy Issues Onscreen - Why Our Culture Mocks Abandonment

3 novembre 2022

Daddy issues is an umbrella, unsympathetic term for women who have a complicated or unhealthy relationship with their dad (take Cassie Howard or Veronica Lodge) – often because he was physically or emotionally absent. In their adult relationships, girls with daddy issues are shown onscreen (or assumed in real life) to be highly sexual, eager to please, and interested in older men. When a child does have an absent or neglectful parent, this often results in an insecure attachment style – which is a serious problem to address and work through. So why is this something that, in girls, gets treated as either a turn-on, a joke, or a reason to write someone off as a hopeless cause?

Initially Michelle could come across that way, too. But Derry Girls goes deeper into the alpha girl’s psychology to ask why they’re so determined to be the leader of the pack. Michelle is genuinely brimming with confidence and loves leading the others on pleasure-seeking adventures.

If cancel culture was working, you’d see these people come out reformed. It feels like a step backwards that people who did some really bad stuff seem to have gotten away with it, and it also reveals just how muddy the waters of cancel culture were in the first place.

Go to https://kamikoto.com/TheTake and help support the channel. The trophy wife: She’s married to a rich, powerful man—possibly decades her senior. And at a glance, this gorgeous woman appears entirely out of her husband’s league. Her beauty adds to his status and social capital – hence the “trophy” part of the label. While the Trophy Wife is technically defined as being a positive status symbol for her partner, the identity often comes with a negative implication that she’s not his intellectual or professional equal or isn’t deserving of the success she gets to enjoy. Here’s our take on who the trophy wife really is – onscreen and off – how the qualities that make her a prize shift over time, and what her evolution says about “ideal” womanhood.

Since we’ve now entered a period where the idea of what it means to be a boomer has become contested, it’s time to ask: What was the boomer ideal, and how much of it holds up? By looking at the pop culture the boomers originally produced, and comparing it to the way they’re portrayed now, we can gain insight into how to correct some of that generation’s mistakes, but also where to find generational common ground, and potentially learn from the past.

27 novembre 2022

Will Elon Musk finally be what kills Twitter? For years, the social network has been an extremely popular center for news and public conversation. But it’s been in a chaotic transition phase since Tesla CEO Elon Musk completed his purchase of the company. Elon’s transition to Twitter CEO has come with immediate changes, like mass employee layoffs and new features designed to monetize the platform. But changes like this one fundamentally alter Twitter’s landscape. The current state of Twitter is evidence of an irresolvable tension at the heart of the internet: the desire for openness and free speech coming up against the demands of shareholders and profitability.

Épisode 850 - Why “Female Entertainment” Still Gets Written Off

1 décembre 2022

Why is there still so much shame and belittlement directed towards popular female media? Female fandom has driven some of the biggest cultural moments of the 20th and 21st centuries. But, with the notable exception of The Beatles, arguably none have ever been widely accepted as legitimate, serious art. On the other hand, culture targeted toward men gets put center stage. All this leads to an even more fundamental question: At a time when gender stereotypes are supposed to be breaking down – why is there even still such a divide between “women’s” and “men’s” entertainment?

Are we finally trading mean girls for sisterhood? Female friendships have traditionally been depicted onscreen with a rigid hierarchy, but plenty of stories today about female friends today are moving beyond “rivalry” arcs, and toward centering equal, sisterly bonds. We're seeing more stories bout friendships that aren’t disrupted by women having to strive in a cut-throat social pecking order or to snap the right job or man, but are instead about how females can support each other and connect through shared experiences.

Épisode 855 - The Crown S5 Explained, The Institution vs Its People | ROYALS

8 décembre 2022

Season 5 of The Crown has faced a lot of criticism for being too soft on the Royals. Many were expecting, or hoping, for Charles to get a villain edit as the show geared up to cover the early 90s… but instead, fans were met with a rather subdued version of Charles’ infidelity and its effect on Diana. However, while the characters may get our sympathy, the Monarchy itself doesn’t. This season is the most explicit and damning in how it shows these people manipulated and abused by a brutal, draconian system. The Crown invites us to blame the system in order to sympathize with the rich elites caught in its crossfire… and it asks the question: do we need a monarchy at all if it does more harm than good, even for those who are meant to benefit most from it?

The generation born after 1996 is a lot more pragmatic and seeks deeper connections over a series of one night stands.

Unlike “hip” fashions, twee is more delicate, dainty, or quaint – often with a feminine flair. But in the 2010s, the label also carried an air of affectation.

After her makeover, we see that people treat her better, that her life becomes more fulfilling, and that she comes closer to realizing who she actually is. But this lesson doesn’t exactly hold water in real life, and adds to the already overwhelming societal pressure to look and be a certain way. But the ugly-to-pretty girl story can also teach us about the link between inner and outer beauty, and how confidence in one can lead to confidence in the other.

Modern versions of the fairy tale princess archetype are a far cry from the stereotypical damsel in distress, waiting for her prince. But what about Prince Charming himself? Has he been updated? Modern stories that do involve a prince charming figure often don’t bestow him with nearly as much interiority, agency, or complexity. And if a newer movie does want to challenge the prince charming stereotype, they mostly resort to a different kind of boring: a predictably shallow doofus (who’s also sometimes evil), or a quote “fixer-upper” who the princess sees something in even though he’s rough around the edges. So why hasn’t the Prince gotten the same updates as contemporary Princesses – and could he ever become something more three-dimensional and... interesting?

Épisode 871 - You’ve Got Mail - In Defense of Joe's "Toxic" Traits

24 décembre 2022

GET YOUR WEIRD GIRL MERCH: https://bit.ly/3dcsJ0H Is Tom Hanks’ Joe Fox in You've Got Mail not actually that toxic after all? He does make some questionable choices, and it can make you doubt at points – how romantic is this story of his courtship with Meg Ryan’s Kathleen Kelly? But as shady as some of his actions might be, Joe’s duplicity gets at the ultimate message of the film – which is that a lot of us are actually living double lives, often without realizing it. This duality is central to the romance because Kathleen also isn’t living her truest life. So why are we so afraid to be our best selves, when we know it’s going to make us happy? And what is it that finally pushes us over the edge to make that change?

Get a whole month of great cinema FREE on MUBI: https://mubi.com/thetake Is the true movie star is dying out? The history of the movies is a history of movie stars –- they were the reason why people came to the movies. But now – it’s not actors that draw people to the cinema, it’s properties. The big tentpole releases that get the buzz tend to be ongoing franchises or reboots, where the performers feel subservient to the overall product. On the flipside, actors now have more freedom than they did in the past, and movies aren’t the be all and end all anymore with the rise of prestige TV. So is the true movie star dying out because the business has changed, or because actors have changed?

Is it time to retire the word “toxic”? The word “toxic” itself has become a buzzword – that’s even become an integral part of our channel’s vernacular. But it’s beginning to feel like the word is losing its meaning. If everything is toxic, then nothing is... You don’t have to look far online these days to find hordes of advice telling you how to cut toxic people out of your life. But the problem is that this oversimplified advice is very black and white, and at its worst conflates behavior that you may personally find annoying with genuine abuse. It also assumes all relational problems are a one-way street, and doesn’t allow for any self-examination.

Épisode 879 - Women Everywhere Are Reaching Their Breaking Point | FEMINISM

5 janvier 2023

Feminism is currently in a backslide in the U.S. And around the world, there are increasingly more attacks on women’s liberties and lives – even in democracies like ours. The war on women is global. And so is the fight against it. You spoke up in the comments of our ‘Death of Feminism’ video in droves – and you were right. A purely American lens on feminism leaves out the majority of the world, and the struggle for women’s liberation hasn’t ended. Thanks to social media and our increased accessibility to global news, we’re witnessing havoc wreaked against women on an international scale at a speed and volume that was not possible in any other century. But with our liberties—and the liberties of women in our global community—being threatened, we can’t afford to burn out now. Here’s our take on how the global war on women has reached a breaking point – and how we can fight back by learning from other women in similar positions around the world.

You can see more of her work here: http://www.youtube.com/c/Cue22 The "Hot Mess" has been the queen of the female-led sitcom (and sad-com) for two decades now, from Bridget Jones to Fleabag to Mindy Lahiri. She’s outspoken, impulsive and has big appetites, whether it's for booze, food, shoes or men. There’s plenty that’s radical about the hot mess, from her slapstick comedy to the way her stories illuminate issues around sex, trauma and mental health from a female perspective. And, even if we’d most likely not make the choices she makes, the hot mess’ mixture of charisma and self-deprecation makes her relatable.

14 janvier 2023

Why do we love seeing revenge played out on screen? Some of cinema’s most iconic moments are from revenge movies. But revenge narratives are some of the oldest in our culture, like Homer’s Odyssey and Shakespeare’s Hamlet. And within the simple framework, there are nuances in how revenge is depicted, how it changes depending on who is doing the revenge, and what the end result is when all the dust has settled. While on an instinctive level we all understand revenge – and how it can seem alluringly satisfying – but do revenge narratives that celebrate the vindictive anti-hero enact an unhealthy fantasy that we should be trying to get away from?

Épisode 891 - The "Good" Ol' Days: Romanticizing an Era That Didn’t Exist

15 janvier 2023

The so-called ‘good old days’ weren't so good for everyone, so why are they constantly romanticized? When people talk about “the good old days,” what they usually mean is the mid-20th century – and perhaps one of the reasons this is looked on so fondly in America is because it feels like that’s when a lot of what we know about contemporary America was born. There was a spirit of post-war optimism that now, at a time of great global anxiety, there feels like a need to harness. But not everyone had the luxury of being optimistic. This was a time of huge inequality. So by romanticizing that era uncritically – both in art and in our real life politics – we’re in danger of endorsing that culture, which becomes even more dangerous – given that right now, so many of the gains that have been made in the past half century feel like they’re being rolled back.

Épisode 897 - The Dangers of Making Infamous People TV Antiheroes

19 janvier 2023

Everyone loves a story with a juicy villain—but what happens when those compelling, cinematic monsters are based on real people? Many of today’s most talked-about shows – like Inventing Anna, The Dropout, SuperPumped, and WeCrashed – focus on notorious controversial figures or real-life villains. These are fascinating figures who have captured the public imagination. But in their fictionalized form, are they being sold to us as too sympathetic, especially when they’re being played by beautiful, charismatic movie stars like Amanda Seyfried, Jared Leto, and Anne Hathaway? When our anti-hero archetypes are projected onto real people who did documented bad things, does this hopelessly confuse our understanding of right and wrong or who we should be rooting for in these still-unfolding sagas?

Everything you need to know before you watch! The Last of Us is one of the most beloved video game franchises of all time. And now following the premiere of the highly anticipated HBO series of the same name, fans are feeling cautiously optimistic that the show might break the video game adaptation curse.

The “Girls’ Girl”: She believes in uplifting other women, has a strong group of girlfriends, and always abides by the girl code. She’s also aware of oppressive systems like the patriarchy and often references feminist thinkers like Gloria Steinem, Bell Hooks, and more modern role models like AOC and Drew Afualo. The mainstream media’s definition of a “girls’ girl” has changed over time, but this modern understanding is a clear reaction to our current feminism in crisis.

Épisode 908 - Infidelity Onscreen: Why We Just Love Watching Cheaters

29 janvier 2023

Infidelity is one of the most traumatic, heartbreaking experiences someone in a romantic partnership can go through, so why does it often get glamorized on screen? Our culture seems obsessed with cheating as a concept – with entire shows based around it. And in real life cheating scandals, we live for the drama. Adam Levine, The Try Guys, Good Morning America hosts Amy Robach and TJ Holmes – these stories compel us because we see the mask of celebrity slip, and we’re able to view these people through a different lens. Here’s our take on the popularity of infidelity stories, why they’re so entertaining, and how more nuanced portrayals of cheating show us that it’s not always so black and white.

Nepo baby rage is... well, all the rage! These days, it seems like the only thing more common than nepotism babies, is people hating nepotism babies. Some children of the rich and famous have had a good sense of humor about the whole thing, but many have bristled at the diminishment of their accomplishments. In today’s “online outrage culture” – the ingredients for a rage trend are simple: A compelling image, a larger, more nebulous problem, and a desire to break something.

Millennials in the real world are full-fledged adults now, so why does millennial representation on screen often feel like a caricature rather than the real thing? Millennials in TV and movies often seem to be in a state of arrested development, taking longer to settle down into a career or a relationship. Our onscreen millennials also struggle to find purpose, in part because they believe they should be doing something big and important. Here’s our take on the onscreen millennial: what it gets right, what it gets wrong, and whether it holds a mirror up to real life or is more of a hall of mirrors.

Older celebrities are looking younger, younger celebrities are looking older…it seems like no one wants to actually look their own age. Martha Stewart’s recent no filter selfie launched what seemed like a full scale social media interrogation of her beauty regime, and whether or not she’s had any work done. And people like Kylie Jenner have seemingly gotten so much work done in their early years – they end up looking like they’re in their thirties long before then. And the most recent, troubling trend, buccal fat removal – is something plastic surgeons say they might seriously regret as they get older.

Some of the best love stories of all time are tales of star-crossed lovers, opposites with an intense passion for one another and seem to have the odds stacked against them. The term itself comes from one of the most famous examples of the trope: Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet. We love these love stories and often want the star crossed lovers to be together… but perhaps part of the reason we are so drawn to these stories is because there is something cathartic about seeing when things don’t work out...

14 février 2023

More couples are in therapy now than ever – and that’s mostly a good thing. But there is a darker side to the recent uptick in therapy.

23 février 2023

Go to http://joinhoney.com/mytake to get PayPal Honey for free. As platforms like Netflix try to reign in spending, more and more shows are getting canned before they have the time or push to achieve their full potential. As a result, shows that could be “the next big thing” – like 1899 or The OA – are discarded without any real, satisfying reason. Now that the streaming graveyard has grown significantly in number, has the bubble burst? Fans are already taking to social media to claim these platforms are ruining their reputation by canceling shows with loyal, dedicated supporters. Here’s our take on the growing list of shows getting axed, and why Netflix, HBO Max, and other streaming services may need to keep their fingers off the trigger for a few seasons longer if they want to keep subscribers.

Gender gaps – we see them across the world, in almost every industry and aspect of our lives. But did you know that there’s a gap between men and women in information itself? Historically, women have been under-accounted for, if they were considered at all. But the female information gap isn’t just a problem of antiquity – it’s present in the digital and non-digital world of today. Data collection is often the first step in creating almost anything – whether it’s a new product or entire systems that we rely on day-to-day – so we end up living with technology and infrastructure designed by men, for men.

Get a whole month of great cinema FREE on MUBI: https://mubi.com/thetake Austin Butler is a serious contender, not just for the 2023 Best Actor Oscar, but for Doing the Absolute Most when it comes to his method acting. Nearly two years after Elvis wrapped filming, Butler retained The King’s thick Mississippi drawl. Method acting in general is mostly reserved for guys. And that reflects how male actors’ performances have historically been taken more seriously, and they’ve been allowed to take far more extravagant liberties for the sake of their art. A woman could never get away with Austin Butler's style of method acting and how that exposes a bigger double standard.

Go to http://factormeals.com/thetake50 to get 50% off your first box. The housewife versus the career woman. It’s a divide that’s well-entrenched in pop culture. In movies and TV, the housewife is condescended to yet revered; the working woman is vilified yet admired. Today, the split often falls along economic and class lines, since many families can’t afford to have one parent not work. But since the pandemic, with remote and hybrid work becoming more common, and daily expenses more unaffordable, women are embracing more fluidity in terms of whether they’re working full-time, part-time or moving in and out of the workforce. And it’s exciting that this stay-at-home versus working binary is fading.

Jake Paul, Shane Dawson, Tana Mongeau... today's content creators are drama magnets.

Our image of the stereotypical content creator is someone who has almost fluked their way to success. And many of them seem to experience overnight success, leading us to believe that what they do doesn’t take much effort. It’s also harder to see famous content creators as doing anything special given how much content creation is a part of all of our daily lives.

Go to http://hellofresh.com/thetake65 and use code thetake65 for 65% off plus free shipping! Leonardo DiCaprio remains forever etched in our collective memory as the archetypal 90s heartthrob. The problem is – does Leo remain forever that in his own mind, unable to move on to a more mature self-image (and mature, long-term partner)? And has our culture largely moved on from that 90s male ideal he’s clinging to? Today’s male beauty standards for young guys have something in common with the boyish, sweet innocent looks of the 90s – but there’s also a lot that’s changed.

The Banshees of Inisherin takes on these questions on both the personal and the political level.

The history of the Royal Family is full of juicy affairs and beloved mistresses, so the press is highly aware of how magnetically we’re drawn to this story arc of the royal “other woman.” And the Royals are a very carefully managed industry — they have the money and influence to pour cold water on any stories before they gain credibility.

To Rock, selective outrage isn’t just what you get mad about, but also what you decide not to be mad about, because it doesn’t benefit you. And a selectively outraged mindset may be behind larger problems in our society like hypocrisy, cognitive dissonance, and compassion fatigue.

Oh, and don’t forget the B-Plot of her long-term relationship with Jason Sudeikis crumbling in a highly public manner while Olivia had moved on with Harry Styles. These overlapping storylines became the internet’s favorite reality show, and Olivia Wilde was deemed the villain. Depending on who you ask, they might say she’s a cool girl, a rich kid, a nepo baby, a try-hard, or a pick-me. So how did Olivia Wilde become the Internet’s Most Hated Woman– and are there any darker agendas at play?

Épisode 998 - Why Hollywood Can’t Ignore Its Consent Problem Any Longer

28 mars 2023

Sex is out at the movies, and family-friendly superheroes are in. That’s partly because sex no longer sells, but also because the way audiences feel about movie intimacy has changed, too. It’s way more difficult to separate the art from the artist, because the context we now have makes us more aware of and concerned with the way actors are treated. In this context, more and more people are coming to the realization that acting doesn’t have to mean doing sex scenes, and definitely that actors shouldn’t be made to feel uncomfortable or exploited at work.

Épisode 999 - How I Met Your Mother's Marshall - The Truth About Being The "Good One"

29 mars 2023

On paper, How I Met Your Mother's Marshall Eriksen is the perfect man — but is he, really? Marshall gets to be the moral center of the show, and part of his moral superiority stems from the fact that he’s been with Lily for his entire adult life, and is a doting boyfriend, husband, and father — something that insulates him from the many horrible and manipulative dating decisions made by Barney and Ted. He’s committed to being a good husband, father, and he wants to improve the world. But, upon further inspection, Marshall seems to be just as self-serving and morally limited as the rest of the cast, and he displays How I Met Your Mother’s inherently limited moral outlook...

Épisode 1005 - The Modern “FEMCEL”: Who She Really Is and What She Desires

2 avril 2023

The term “incel” was first coined by a woman in 1997 – the original Involuntary Celibacy Project website was a forum for people of all genders and sexualities to share their struggles with sexual and romantic relationships. After the term “incel” was hijacked by men who promote misogyny and blame women and feminism for their struggles, a new term emerged: femcel. But what makes a femcel unique and different from the stereotypical male incel? And onscreen, how do we represent the angst and frustration of involuntarily celibate women in our culture?

These users have found that being high-maintenance has actually allowed them more time to focus on other things they care about day to day.

4 avril 2023

With the reigns of Snapchat, TikTok and Instagram, it’s never been so easy to filter, contour, smooth and shape our selfies into something completely different from the raw material. But social media doesn’t just influence the way we look online. It may be permanently rewiring our brains to alter what we think we look like in real life – and messing with our body images in deep ways. What’s being called Selfie Dysmorphia, Social Media Dysmorphia, or Snapchat Dysmorphia, is leading people to sometimes get extreme surgeries on their faces to resemble something that’s not actually naturally occurring.

The dream of being a Princess never dies in our culture. Stories of regal pomp and being swept away by a handsome Prince are still some of the first that today’s young girls encounter. And for adults, Princesscore continues to be a popular aesthetic on TikTok, proving that this dream lasts well into adolescence and beyond. What’s surprising about the enduring popularity of princesshood is that over the past few years, real life Princess fairytales have been exposed in the press as apparently pretty nightmarish realities: full of press intrusion, familial pressure, a lack of agency, gossip, scandal. So why does princesscore persist, for today’s adults and new generations?

But these concerns have greatly shaped the lives of royal women - especially Princess Diana in the 80s – and they're still very much present today, as evidenced by Kate Middleton allegedly having to take a fertility test before marrying Prince William, not to mention the revelations Meghan Markle had about the Firm’s interest in her pregnancy. So in the eyes of the Firm, if you can’t continue the bloodline, would you even be allowed in the family? And in the eyes of the public, does that focus on ideal motherhood majorly impact what the cultural influence of royal role models is?

Épisode 1023 - The Problem with AI Bringing Actors Back

16 avril 2023

We are firmly in the era of artificial intelligence, which means we have technology to digitally resurrect dead artists for new projects – but does that mean we should? Tupac’s hologram performed at Coachella back in 2012 and nearly a decade later Whitney Houston’s toured across Europe. And while they’re still alive, ABBA Voyage is selling out night after night in London. It’s one thing for artists to be animated speaking their own words and singing their own songs. It’s another when they’re being used as tools to create something entirely new, that they had absolutely no say in. And there are a lot more troubling examples of how the slow acceptance of deepfakes is leading us down a scary road.

Épisode 1025 - Succession’s Endgame: The Winner is...

18 avril 2023

Season 4 Episode 4 of Succession left us with some surprising takeaways. Early in its final season, Succession has finally delivered the bombshell it teased in the very first episode. As the dust settled, the contenders are off to the races and there’s a good amount of time left in the final season to finally deliver on the central question the series set up when it began: who will succeed media giant Logan Roy – which of his children (or other inner circle members) will have what it takes to seize power?

Épisode 1027 - The Aging Crisis Trap - Focus On How it Feels, Not How it Looks

19 avril 2023

Our culture spends a lot of time fearing aging, trying to hide all signs of it, even attempting to eliminate it all together – but what if we stopped assuming it's all bad? Culturally we talk about aging in terms of a series of crises — quarter life when we hit 25, the turning 30 crisis, and then the mid-life crisis. And the most prominent fear of aging in our society is around looks fading. But what if we stopped focusing so much on how aging looks to pay attention more to how it feels to progress through different life stages? If we face our fears, then the joys of getting older can come to the surface.

Épisode 1029 - Romy & Michelle, Explained: Why Their Crisis Feels So Current | TIME CAPSULE

20 avril 2023

Romy & Michele’s High School Reunion is weirdly relevant today for a late ‘90s movie about a couple of late ‘80s best friends. It wasn't a big hit when it came out in 1997, yet it lives on as a beloved comedy classic of its era, and not just because it has some especially quotable lines. It managed to anticipate many of the anxieties about status, self-image, and expressing your true self that drive people in the current age of social media – despite being released at a time when most people were still going on the internet through AOL.

Épisode 1031 - Kate Middleton: From Waity Kaity to Crying Catherine

22 avril 2023

The public narrative of Kate Middleton has shifted drastically, a few times, since she became a fixture of the Royal Family over a decade ago. Right now, rumors of Prince William’s alleged affair, paint her as a tragic figure, doomed to suffer the same fate as Royal women before her. But Kate’s story arc keeps changing. Before this, the focus was on casting her as the traditionalist heroine at odds with Meghan Markle. Before that, she was Waity Katie, cast as “workshy,” a social climber desperate to be royal. Meghan’s absence from Royal proceedings has created a need for new conflicts around Kate – so is this why we’re seeing nonstop coverage of her supposed marital troubles and suffering? Here’s our take on Catherine, Princess of Wales, and how she’s reinventing herself, or being reinvented, as she gets closer to being the Queen.

Épisode 1032 - The WAG Figure & Why She Gets So Much Hate

23 avril 2023

There’s something about WAGs — the wives or girlfriends of more famous men, especially professional athletes — that just gets people annoyed. Maybe it’s because their success comes from achievements people feel these women didn’t contribute to. And so when WAGs like Brittany Mahomes lean into the spotlight too much, they’re told to 'know their place.' But is this all a way of demanding that women in the public eye be a little… quieter, and not get too dominant in sports?

Go to http://joinhoney.com/mytake to get PayPal Honey for free! Celebrity interviews have become pretty food heavy over the past few years. Viral series like Hot Ones, Chicken Shop Date, Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee, plus podcasts like Off Menu and Table Manners, and even smaller bites like Snack Wars and What I Eat In A Day all show a different side to celebrities than the more formal, suited and booted world of press junkets or late night TV. Seeing how people eat, and what their relationship with food is, makes people vulnerable and relatable in a way they rarely are if they’re just answering questions about their latest movie.

In 2013, she rose to fame as the mostly naked model in the controversial “Blurred Lines” video. By 2023, she’s established herself as a feminist author and thinker, and has announced she quit acting because Hollywood is a sexist, “f-ed up” place that treated her like a “piece of meat.” Emily reminds us that only we should get to define ourselves, and that there’s power in examining the countless assumptions we take for granted about our bodies and how we exist in the world.

Épisode 1045 - Dune: Part Two’s Trailer and Why It Was Split Into Two Films

3 mai 2023

Has splitting Dune into two parts potentially confused the message of the sci-fi epic? Paul Atreides checks many of the boxes of the noble protagonist chosen to lead. But some of Paul’s prescient visions of the future hint at future disaster. And fans of Herbert’s writing will know that things aren’t so simple—the further we get in the series, the more complicated, and even villainous, Paul becomes. To be fair, the novel was also originally published as serials, but its two sections were released as a number of parts over time, making it easier for viewers to track complex, ambiguous developments– more like the experience of TV installments than the singular emotional arc and thematic feel of a film you watch all at once. So what’s the effect of director Denis Villeneuve dividing this narrative in two, and what hints do we get about what’s to come from the trailer?

Épisode 1047 - Celebrities Are Trying to Get More Private, Here's How

4 mai 2023

Are our standards for celebrity-privacy that low, that we’re shocked if a celebrity has anything in their life they're not broadcasting to the paparazzi? After the rumors grew that Kylie Jenner and Timothee Chalamet had started dating, a surprising number of people commented with shock at how private Kylie is – simply because she didn’t hard-launch the relationship. Today we’re so primed to expect famous people to share everything, we get blindsided when they still have secrets – especially with those known for being overexposed. But since these are actual humans, even those most in the public eye continue to have secrets. And a striking celebrity “trend” today is the subtle clawing back of privacy.

Snapchat recently released its new AI chatbot to Plus users, and people have started noticing some pretty weird things. From pretending not to known users locations, to deciphering images sent to it (even though it says it can't actually do that...) to helping students write essays - the bot seems to be doing a lot more than just chatting.

Épisode 1052 - Harry & Meghan: From Heroes to Villains - What’s Next? | ROYALS

9 mai 2023

Harry and Meghan are at a dangerous moment when it comes to their reputation. Everything they’ve turned their hands to has received a lot of attention but also a lot of backlash. Though Charles extended an olive branch by inviting the couple to the coronation, things didn’t go so smoothly, especially with William. So if people get tired of hearing Harry and Meghan’s same sad story – and they don’t have any new royal content due to leaving their official duties for the family – they might even have to rethink how they’re going to make their money from now on.

Épisode 1054 - How Daniel Radcliffe Grew Out of Harry Potter And Into A Weird, Engaging Star

11 mai 2023

The deck was really stacked against Daniel Radcliffe. Child stars are often set up for failure, and Radcliffe became a global icon as Harry Potter at only 11 years old. He grew up in front of the world. Yet while many assumed he’d never really escape just being Harry Potter the rest of his life, not only does Radcliffe seem extremely well-adjusted, he’s also managed to build a genuinely interesting and eclectic adult acting career. Instead of chasing the highest profile or highest paying options, he’s consciously chosen to pick surprising or strange roles, often in smaller movies.

Épisode 1056 - Netflix’s Queen Cleopatra: Conspiracy Docuseries and The Decline of “Truth”

13 mai 2023

There’ve always been conspiracy theories, and it’s always been kind of fun to have your own that you secretly subscribe to. But up until recently, there’s always been an acceptance that these theories were… well, a little unhinged. But now, conspiracy theories are driving more traffic than ever, and conspiracy theorists have cleaned up their image a little. They’re now using traditional news tactics like documentaries to disseminate their material. As a result, these theorists become legitimized, and they’re gathering huge traction online. So are people simply becoming so distrustful of those in charge that conspiracy theories seem like the most logical explanation, or is it genuinely getting harder to separate the real news from the fake news?

Épisode 1061 - Why Rich People Dress Broke And Broke People Dress Rich

16 mai 2023

Fashion today is veering in one of two directions: On one end of the spectrum is hobocore – the uber wealthy are splashing out on outfits artfully distressed to look like they’re old and worn. On the other end is old money, as people take to Shein to buy items that look like ultra-fancy couture but in reality aren’t designed to be worn for more than one season, or in some cases more than once. The urge to use clothing to pretend you’re from a different socioeconomic background goes back centuries, and often the two trends do cross over. Yet today’s hobocore look is going to an extreme that’s a little shocking in in its insensitivity, and the old money look has its own set of issues worth exploring.

Épisode 1064 - Unforgiven’s Legacy and the Evolution Of The Western | CINEMA GREATS

17 mai 2023

Unforgiven (staring, directed, and produced by Clint Eastwood,) looks like just another old-school Western, a nostalgic genre throwback. But upon closer inspection, Unforgiven reveals itself to be a much more interesting film, with a much more meaningful legacy. While the film has the feel of a classic western, it also challenges the genre of the Western and the black-and-white idea of a Western hero. It revisited the myth of the American West in ways that future Revisionist Westerns would continue to build on and take further. So even if you haven’t seen the movie, you’ve probably seen modern neo-Westerns that stand on the shoulders of the revival this movie kicked off.

There are many famous people who carved their careers out of a connection to someone else – there are nepo parents, nepo partners, even nepo friends. It’s been argued that Paris Hilton gave her assistant Kim Kardashian her first foray into fame and that Taylor Swift is responsible for putting ex-boyfriend Joe Alwyn on the up-and-up.

Épisode 1076 - Anna Nicole Smith’s True Story & Why The Netflix Doc Failed Her

27 mai 2023

Go to http://joinhoney.com/mytake to get PayPal Honey for free. Anna Nicole Smith is getting the Marilyn and Pamela treatment – the once-vilified voluptuous blonde is now getting reframed to embody the glamorous yet tragic arc that our culture often projects onto Hollywood's iconic blonde bombshells. The new Netflix documentary, "Anna Nicole: You Don’t Know Me" sets out to present Smith as the heroine of this recognizable arc. It's striking that we've seen this exact same trajectory with so many other Hollywood bombshells through the ages. Which leads us to ask, why do we keep repeating this tragic revolution, and is there any lesson in Anna Nicole's story about how to stop the deja vu?

Succession has sparked many conversations online, but one surprising one has been about how the characters dress.

Épisode 1078 - The Wire’s Marlo: An Iconic Villain with a Terrifying Message

30 mai 2023

While much of The Wire is about how the game remains the same with a shifting cast of players, Marlo Stanfield represents a virulent form of newness. A new game with no respect for the old rules and with no mercy. Looking back on The Wire now, we can see how Marlo’s ability to make a very bad state of affairs even worse conveys an important, timeless message.

Épisode 1083 - The Wide-Eyed Girl Trope: How Baby Faces Lure Us In

3 juin 2023

You may have noticed a look being celebrated among many female characters and actors in movies and TV––the “wide-eyed girl” look. And it’s not just you; people have been doting on the look for ages. Intuitively, the look communicates a sense of innocence, youth, and naivety. The term “wide-eyed” is itself defined as “naive and full of wonder.” But even though it conjures up images of baby-like features, it’s also associated with seduction. And sometimes it’s also coded as weird, if not creepy. Here’s our take on why the “wide-eyed girl” look is such an “in” beauty and what exactly about her so intrigues our culture.

Still, while Ted’s pursuit of true love was often warm and appealing, the journey also included plenty of bad behavior, and perfect examples of what not to do in dating and relationships.

Through her own eyes though – which we don’t see as clearly until her special episode – Jules has her insecurities, traumas, doubts, and demons. On top of everything, though, she is mature in a way most other characters aren’t: She is open to knowing all parts of herself outside of socially-prescribed norms, insecurities and all. She’s in touch with a kind of aliveness that many are not yet ready to face.

But how much of it is directly inspired by specific facts? It’s long been noticed that the Roy family's story seems to have some overlap with the real-life happenings of the Murdoch and Redstone families. Obviously, "Succession" is a work of fiction that goes far beyond these inspirations, and the creators have stated that the show isn't directly based on any one particular family, but let’s take a look at some of the interesting parallels.

Épisode 1101 - Essential Reality TV Tropes: Analyzing How TV Built Its Own "Reality"

20 juin 2023

Reality TV has become a genre unto itself 30 years after the first season of The Real World debuted as a “social experiment,” with character types, stock stories, and cliches that rival the laziest detective dramas. There’s the bald-faced lies, the knock-down, drag-out fights, the apology ritual, the alliances, villains and hot messes; and, of course, the drama. Here’s our list of the most essential tropes and characters in reality TV, and why some of them are just so played out that we wish they’d pack their bags.

22 juin 2023

Go to http://joinhoney.com/mytake to get PayPal Honey for free. Samantha Jones was one of the best parts of Sex and the City, who most embodies what the show was supposed to be about. And with the surprising twist that she’s making a (brief) appearance on And Just Like That, we all can’t help but wonder: what if Samantha had been the star of the original show? Thanks to her wit, endlessly interesting storylines, and genuine growth and change, Samantha as a heroine could have pushed Sex and the City (and And Just Like That) to more provocative creative heights.

Épisode 1106 - How Sitcom Wives Shook Up Family Dynamics In Every Era

25 juin 2023

The sitcom wife has been portrayed as many stereotypes, from a nagging nay-sayer to a stern and strict wet blanket to a trophy wife who’s so-called sole contribution to her marriage and to society at large is her looks. Nowadays, the sitcom wife trope is being broken open to show a more accurate portrayal of women who are flawed, ambitious and ultimately sympathetic. Here’s our take on the sitcom wife: the history, the stereotypes and breaking away from the trope.

Épisode 1108 - And Just Like That’s Fashion-Forward Season 2 - Returning To Its Roots

26 juin 2023

If there’s one thing Sex and the City is known for, it’s the show stopping fashion. From the signature Manolo Blahniks that gave us a new way to talk to our kicks, to fabulous yet impractical dresses, Sex and the City was all about fashion as a tool for empowerment and self-expression. The show’s reboot, And Just Like That, initially took a decidedly more somber tone with its first season. But in its second season, which has just begun on MAX, Carrie’s treading water and just surviving gives way to a version of joy. And the show seems to finally be putting fashion back in the front seat, intentionally using it as an important part of the storytelling instead of just treating it as an afterthought.

After months of Warner Bros. trying to convince everyone that The Flash was going to be the greatest superhero movie of all time, it finally dropped and it turned out it was just… fine. Some people have enjoyed it, but it just isn't getting anywhere near the numbers the studio had hoped for, and some are saying this is a bad sign for superhero movies overall.

Épisode 1110 - Black Mirror Season 6, Explained: What Worked, What Didn't and What's Next

28 juin 2023

After a long four years, Black Mirror is finally back - but… was the new season worth the wait? Well, yes and no. These five new episodes see the show move away from its traditional technological warnings of an eerie near-future, instead diving into stories grounded in a foreboding take on the past and our present. So this noticeable shift begs the question - have the problems of modern society become too real for Black Mirror to satirize? Or has the show simply lost the magic that made it so special in the first place, instead becoming a cash cow for Netflix to profit off of?

Épisode 1113 - The Older Woman-Younger Man Pairing: An Acceptable Age Gap Relationship?

1 juillet 2023

The younger man and the older woman: it’s become a trend that’s gradually losing its taboo and being accepted as more and more normal. Over the past few years there’s been a steady stream of famous, beautiful women over a certain age dating younger men and recent movies and TV shows like Licorice Pizza, Succession, and Good Luck to You, Leo Grande feature that same older woman, younger man dynamic.

Épisode 1115 - The Witcher: Henry Cavill's last season as Geralt (& can Liam Hemsworth really replace him?)

5 juillet 2023

The first half of The Witcher's third season just premiered, and fans are already sad that it's Henry Cavill's last outing as Geralt of Rivia (though don't be too sad - he'll still be in the second half of the season, which drops at the end of July!)

Épisode 1116 - The Ingenue Trope: Innocent, Naive and On Her Way Out

5 juillet 2023

With her youthful charm and naivete, the ingénue is a long-time Hollywood staple… but in recent years, she seems to be disappearing. So is this trope really on the way out because it no longer works in the modern day, or is it just changing with the times? A French term meaning “an innocent or unsophisticated young woman,” ‘Ingenue’ was historically applied to women in plays or films who were naive, youthful, and pretty much always virgins. Thankfully today, it feels like we’re seeing this ‘ingenue’ trajectory far less often, both on and off screen. Here’s our take on Hollywood’s Ingenue Trope - and why it’s seemingly disappeared, thanks to a wave of outspoken, young actresses, evolving roles for women, and changing societal values.

Épisode 1119 - In Hollywood, Sex is Out But Violence is Always In

8 juillet 2023

It’s jarring that so much thought and debate is going into one taboo while another (violence) is beyond commonplace in American movies, shows and games.

Épisode 1120 - The Feminism of Hyper Femininity - More Than a Style

9 juillet 2023

Today many people are embracing a hyper feminine aesthetic – and while the specific fashion trends may shift, the girly thread remains. Barbiecore, bimbo, cottagecore, coquette, “soft girl”, “shabby princess”, “dopamine dressing”... the trend cycles change too fast for most of us to keep up, but there’s a common thread to a lot of the trends - and it’s very “girly.” More than just a fad, modern hyperfemininity is a movement. It aims to be a more nuanced and intentional brand of Girl Power that celebrates traditionally feminine characteristics as strengths, while being more inclusive and forward thinking.

11 juillet 2023

Kim Wexler: Originally conceived of as a supporting character for Jimmy McGill in Better Call Saul, she quickly became a fan favorite. So, who is Kim Wexler, and what makes her so intriguing? She starts off as the show’s apparent “goodie two shoes” who “pulled herself up by her own bootstraps.” But in season 2, we start to see a different side to her. Still, it feels insufficient to say that it’s another side, or her dark side. By choosing not to flatten her character into light and dark, we can reveal not only more about her, but about her environment, which is also ours – and therefore why we resonate with her so much.

Épisode 1127 - Stranger Things' Queer Themes: Chosen Family, Community and Shame

16 juillet 2023

Stranger Things has been immensely popular ever since its debut in 2015, and its themes have especially resonated with queer audiences. Sci-fi and fantasy have long had a deep and meaningful impact on their viewers that identify as members of the LGBTQ+ community. As genres that involve imagined worlds, they give both creators and viewers the freedom to take a deeper look at the issues impacting our society. Stranger Things is no exception. And a big reason that the show has resonated so strongly with members of the LGBTQ+ community is because there are many underlying queer elements at play within the show.

Épisode 1128 - How "And Just Like That" Lost Sex and the City's Magic

17 juillet 2023

Season one of And Just Like That proved to be… pretty lackluster. And now it seems that even the second season won’t be able to recapture the magic of the original series. So why has the reboot been so unable to reproduce what we all loved so much about the original show? It feels like an entirely different show that just happens to have the same actors playing now completely unrelatable characters named Carrie, Charlotte, and Miranda. Here's everything that made Sex and The City so special, why And Just Like That’s departure from the tried and true formula caused the show to lose its magic, and whether the franchise can be redeemed.

19 juillet 2023

After all of the hype, The Idol mostly turned out to be a disappointment – mainly due to the lost potential.

Then the show premiered and it was… let’s say, not really what people had been hoping for… We’ve already covered everything that went wrong with the show, so now we’re taking a look at what the show could have been, and where it could go if it does manage to get a second season.
