What we can learn from Will and Emma on Glee
I love Glee. I'm not even going to say that it's a guilty pleasure as I quite frankly don't feel guilty in any way shape or form. When it first came out, I was obsessed. Some might have even called me a mega fan. As a theatre kid, I felt like I'd found my people and I felt like I finally had some sort of representation in pop culture media. So naturally, for Halloween, my partner, who also loves Glee, and I decided to dress up as Glee characters. We decided to dress up as Mr Schuester and Emma as my partner admittedly looks like a young Will and I have red hair, so it kinda worked for us. It wasn't until I was in an OP shop looking for a signature yellow frilly top, cardigan and signature short skirt, that I actually started to ponder on the nature of their relationship and soon come to the realisation that to this date, I think they're one of the healthiest and most supportive couples to exist on tv.

Gintama: Why Gintoki is an Enigma
Written by Hideaki Sorachi, Gintama was first published in 2003, and it went on to become a best-selling manga series. It sold more than 50 million copies, and it soon became apparent that an anime adaptation was to follow. However, most fans often complain that anime fail to represent the true essence of the manga series. Surprisingly, in Gintama’s case, the anime did get it right and was praised for it. The show was soon a worldwide success, and fans were captivated by the science fiction twist of the historical anime. There was no turning back; the show went on for a total of 8 seasons and was rated as one of the best of all time.

A Filmmaker's Guide to: The Sublime
In this chapter of ‘the filmmaker’s guide’ we’re actually going to be learning about literature and film together. I understand that many of you are sitting in university during difficult times and finding it increasingly hard to study and I understand that many of you who are not at university or not planning on it are possibly stuck of what to do, need a break or even need to catch up on learning film before you get to the next level. This guide will be brief but will also contain: new vocabulary, concepts and theories, films to watch and we will be exploring something taboo until now in the ‘filmmaker’s guide’ - academia (abyss opens). Each article will explore a different concept of film, philosophy, literature or bibliography/filmography etc. in order to give you something new to learn each time we see each other. You can use some of the words amongst family and friends to sound clever or you can get back to me (email in bio) and tell me how you’re doing. So, strap in and prepare for the filmmaker’s guide to film studies because it is going to be one wild ride.

On Flip McVicker
Over the course of 2020, I have rewatched the entirety of Netflix Original Series BoJack Horseman at least twice. “Why?” my friends ask. “Research,” I say, not researching a thing. To be honest, I just like passing the time. However, in rewatching Season 5 of BoJack Horseman, I’ve come to realize what a fascinating character Flip McVicker is. Flip, voiced by escaped clone of Freddie Mercury Rami Malik, is the eccentric, low-energy, high-maintenance lead writer of Philbert, the show within the show that titular character BoJack Horseman stars in as titular character within titular character Philbert. Season 5 marked a violent shift in the show’s timbre, between BoJack’s newfound addiction to painkillers, Princess Caroline’s eternal quest to balance producing a show and adopting a baby, and Diane’s divorce from Mr. Peanutbutter. Setting the stage? Flip McVicker.

My Hero Academia: Mysteries of One for All Quirk
There is no shortage of superpowers (called Quirks) in the world of My Hero Academia. However, one still stands out as arguably the most terrifying and powerful known as All for One. It can give its user the power to steal Quirks from others. Even though the Quirk itself is not so powerful, it has collected hundreds of them; it becomes almost impossible to defeat the user. During the rise of Quirks, a century ago, All for One was owned by a man known as Shigaraki. He later went on to become All for One, the leader of villains.
