Civil War Movie Review - A Movie That Delivers on a Riveting Journalism Story, But Lacks The Divisive War Spectacle.

 By no means a bad film. But this wasn’t a movie about a Civil War

By - Ubong Ekpo

 I had the pleasure last week of attending an early Monday night screening of Alex Garland’s film, Civil War and the film was totally different from what I was expecting. . Civil War, based on its trailers and marketing, made it out to be an epic, thrilling showcase of the United States at war with itself. However, the film ended up being more of a journalism story masked under the guise of being a Civil War film. The details and exacts of how the USA ends up in a Civil War are never truly divulged.  Rather the story was centered around the plight of Kirsten Dunst and her fellow journalist, as they aim to travel to Washington to cover the possible killing of the president. 

 What I liked about the film was it raised concerns regarding the ethics of the press during times of war. Dunst and her colleagues go out of their way to put themselves in real, dangerous war zones to capture live footage. Dunst gave one of her more stronger performances as the reserved, matured journalist Lee. Jesse Plemons, the real life husband of Kirsten Dunst, was the highlight of the film for me, he truly encapsulated the feeling of America in a civil war state. His one scene was chilling and was the one time I felt the spirit of a divided America, as he questions the journalist on where they’re from, what kind of American they are. This was what I was expecting the movie to be like, the tensions that we even feel in the real world are ever so present; I wish the film put more emphasis on those aspects.

   My main gripe with this film was the lack of detail and presence it gave to the actual Civil War. One of the biggest marketing tools was the USA Alliance map, which showcased a divided America. I was expecting to see how these divisions were formed or at least some brief explanation of such, neither was given. We are shown that the USA, in many parts, has been devastated by war, such as amusement parks being war-torn. It would’ve made for a much more exciting, deeper film with a little more backstory.

 Civil War is by no means a bad film but, ultimately, Civil War was a bait and switch to make a journalism-themed movie. I have no problem with seeing a film that challenges the ethics of covering war, whether it’s right or wrong to capture a person's last moments on camera for the sake of news, but it didn’t have to be at the expense of the promising concept. I do understand that the aspect of a civil war, as the United States is reaching levels of division not seen since the Civil Rights era, would be an effective tool to garner viewers, but the film didn’t deliver personally for me. I do recommend that people see it, it is an original as-you-can-get concept and showcases A24 foraying into more entertainment-leaning films. While Civil War doesn’t live up to its premise, it is still a film worth seeing

Immaculate Movie Review - Sydney Sweeney Shines In An Enthralling Religious Thriller

By - Ubong Ekpo

Sydney Sweeney expands her range as she showcases the true horror of being a Virgin Mary 

 I had the pleasure of viewing Immaculate a few nights ago, I was thoroughly impressed with the film overall. Sydney Sweeney gives a breakout performance as nun sister Cecilia. I am not usually a fan of horror films, as I find the writing of films in this genre to be too on the nose and formulaic, but Immaculate was a pleasant surprise. Its one hour, thirty-three minutes runtime could’ve fooled me because I was captivated from the beginning, it felt like it was more of a two-and-a-half-hour film with how much it managed to accomplish. It was much more thought-provoking than I had anticipated and my viewing experience led for the film to resonate with me on a much more analytical, philosophical level.

  Immaculate tells the story of Cecilia, an American nun who decides to join a convent in Italy, which also serves as a hospice-like center to aide ailing Nuns who are about to pass away. While the convent is seemingly innocent at first, it soon takes a darker turn. We eventually discover the convent is a front for the priest, who is a scientist who has been attempting to recreate the immaculate conception, forcing women to be pregnant with a fetus formed from the DNA of Jesus Christ with the nails that crucified him.

    I loved that this film can be seen as a critique of the fanaticism of both religion and science, which are often pitted against each other in the search for the true meaning of the world, yet share numerous commonalities than realized. Often in the real world, the most tragic and violent events stem from a conflict between religions, such as Palestine and Israel. This level of adoration and worship can go beyond normal conventions, to the point where people will blatantly commit sins and excuse it under the guise of being “told” and directed by “ God “ to do so, we see this logic common with suicide bombers. Sweeney’s character, as we find out, was chosen as a guinea pig, to conduct experiments on impregnating her with the new world savior.

  One tactic commonly used to attract and convert new believers, one that was used to manipulate Sweeney’s character, is the weaponization of hope. Due to her surviving a traumatic childhood accident, Cecilia felt her survival was a calling, that she had to have a deeper meaning in life. This internal such for validation is what drove her to become a nun, giving her life to God, as a way to “repay” for saving her life. People will often, rationally or not, devote their lives to God, Christ, Allah, etc, due to what they perceive as miracles occurring in their lives. Even with the complete absence of evidence. In the same vein as religion, in the name of science, we human beings will conduct inhumane experiments, knowing death can be the result, to test out theories. While that is a bit more normalized, we’ve seen countless situations where those in power in Scientific communities take advantage and conduct experiments unauthorized, practically playing God. This can even extend to the power and grace we give to those in professions where people’s lives are at stake for the sake of their jobs, such as doctors and police officers, to the point where they’re even excused for taking a life if it was up to a judgment call, depending on the situation. The film manages to drive that point home, especially once Cecilia realizes she is being used as an experiment under the guise of religion, she constantly remarks how what’s being done to her isn’t “God’s work”. 

 Sydney Sweeney did an amazing job, portraying Cecilia with the truest innocence and pure intentions, then a harrowing scream queen as she attempts to escape the horrors of the convent she finds herself in. In the last twenty minutes of the film, Sweeney carries the film, her character in labor and fighting for her life at the same time. While much attention is paid to Sweeney’s sexual appeal, I find her to be an enduring actress who has much more to offer and can be one of the household-name movie stars of the next generation. Immaculate is a modern horror thriller done the right way, that doesn’t overstay its welcome and understood the exact kind of horror film it wanted to be. 

Lily Gladstone vs Emma Stone - The Most Compelling Oscar’s Best Actress race in years

 Lily Gladstone & Emma Stone have dominated the Awards Season in the actress category, leading to a final showdown at the 96th Annual Academy Awards

By - Ubong Ekpo

 Without a shadow of a doubt, the best two acting performances by actresses in 2023 were Lily Gladstone as Mollie Burkhart in Killers of The Flower Moon and Emma Stone as Bella Baxter in Poor Things

.  Both of these performances couldn’t be any more polar opposites from each other; Gladstone showcases a subtle, but powerful performance as the Osage woman who endures a tragic romance, as her husband, Earnest Burkhart, played by Leonardo DiCaprio, over the years schemes with his uncle, played by Robert De Niro, to systematically murder her sisters & mother to gain the rights to her headright, i.e. her wealth, such as land, money.   Emma Stone gives an out-of-this-world, colorful, explosive performance as the Frankstein-like creation of Bella Baxter, a woman who has the brain of her unborn child implanted into her body by a mad scientist.  Both actresses have received critical acclaim throughout 2023 as their respective films made their way through film festivals to the big screen, with Gladstone and Stone being memorable standout performances alongside iconic leading men. Both women showcased masterclasses in acting that will be remembered for years to come. 

  Gladstone being Native American herself, of Piegan Blackfeet and Nez Perce descent, had some pressure to deliver the role of Mollie. Gladstone had to ensure she gave an accurate portrayal of the tragedy of Mollie’s family, while not making her a destitute victim and showcasing the resilience of Mollie and the Osage people.

 Native Americans have historically been underrepresented in media, often reduced to stereotypes of savages. It was important to showcase Mollie’s story as accurately as possible, but at the same time not reduce her to a mere damsel in distress, which she executed magnificently. Gladstone held her own acting alongside legends like De Niro and DiCaprio, with most of her scenes being with DiCaprio and her reserved, but delightful demeanor balancing with DiCaprio’s charming, but ignorant ways as Earnest Burkhart.

 There was some slight controversy over Gladstone choosing to campaign in the lead actress category, as her screen time would usually warrant a supporting nod, but I commend Gladstone. Mollie Burkhart is the heart and soul of Killers of The Flower Moon, her arc and what she goes through are shown as symbolic representations of the overall experience of Native Americans in the United States.

 When I saw Emma Stone in Poor Things, I was truly mesmerized by the performance she gave. Playing a woman with the brain of her unborn child, a child woman, then going on a journey of self-discovery, was truly a groundbreaking role for her. Stone gives a realistic portrayal of someone discovering life and sexuality for the first time. Poor Things is most definitely not the easiest watch for some people, but beyond the graphic sexual elements, Poor Things was a truly liberating tale. Stone showcases the various stages of Bella’s development, giving the innocence of a child, genuinely not understanding why her actions at times were inappropriate. Stone portrays Bella with such a thoughtful comedic tone, that you can’t help but empathize and route for her. Everything Bella does is believable, not plot convenience, ultimately her autonomy is what she stays true to and is rewarded for at the end.

 Throughout awards season, Stone and Gladstone have been trading awards, both women won Best Actress in a Comedy/ Musical for Stone and Drama for Gladstone at the Golden Globes. Stone then won Best Actress at the BAFTA Awards and Critics Choice Awards. Gladstone won the most recent televised award, SAG Best Actress, which is voted by the actors, who make up the largest voting block at the Academy Awards, which could possibly signal a Gladstone win. Lily Gladstone would make history as the first Native American person to win an Academy Award and only the third woman of color to win the Best Actress Oscar besides Halle Berry in 2002 for Monster’s Ball and last year’s 2023 winner, Michelle Yeoh for Everything Everywhere All at Once.  

 Regardless of who wins, I would be fine with either outcome, I find both women to be deserving equally, but I would love to see history be made with a Lily Gladstone win. Killers of the Flower Moon & Poor Things with ten and eleven Oscar nominations well deserved overall are remembered ultimately by the performances of their main actresses. Mollie Burkhart and Bella Baxter, just as their actresses Lily Gladstone and Emma Stone are two who wouldn’t usually be paired together, but as both dominate through the award season it gives a better appreciation for the art of acting and medium of film, which has linked both women together.  Oscar night on Sunday will be the final showdown and the winner of bragging rights over who gave the best performance of 2023 and I and every other movie fanatic cannot wait.

Madame Web Review : A Movie That Encapsulates Everything Wrong With Superhero Films Today

Madame Web Review: A Movie That Encapsulates Everything Wrong With Superhero Films Today

 Sony’s latest abysmal Spider-Man Spinoff, Madame Web, premiered on Valentine’s Day, with no love lost whatsoever.

By - Ubong Ekpo

I had the “pleasure” of viewing Madame Web last week and every single negative review that it has garnered was spot on, what a mess of a movie! The choppy, jumpy editing that goes from one conflict to another within seconds had me feeling like the movie at times was running at 1.5x speed. Dakota Johnson does her best with the so-called “script” that she was given, (the same screenwriters who wrote Morbius, so this mediocrity isn’t new to us). I enjoyed her dry, awkward sense of humor, but this movie didn’t really know what type it wanted to be. Throughout we’re given these weak, underdeveloped Spider-Man easter eggs, such as the Ben Parker character, but they ultimately lead nowhere, Spider Man is never mentioned by name.

 The most egregious part of this film is how the marketed material of this being like a Spider-Girl team-up movie, was only just a brief glimpse. Literally, the scenes of the three girls fighting in the trailers are the only scenes in the movie where they are suited up and have powers. This film wanted to be an origin story and lacked the substance or heart to pull it off. The three girls, who are all strangers and don’t have a natural bond, ending up as best friends in a matter of hours, was jarring. The inclusion of the newest Hollywood sex symbol Sydney Sweeney wasn’t enough to save this film.  However, this movie’s villain was the character that lacked the most heart out of all of them.  I kid you not when I say Ezekiel only repeated the same 5 lines, different variations of “ These girls cannot stay alive”, and “ I must kill these girls” His motivations for stealing the spider are never deeply looked into, as nothing else is in this film.

 Utter mediocrity like Madame Web being released truly makes you wonder about what is going on in the movie industry today. It actually is quite obvious, but still perplexing, that profit more than ever is prioritized over art, but at what cost?  Sony continues to make Spider-Man-related movies, without actually featuring Spider-Man, which is almost like an excuse now to make the movie as lifeless as possible. Ironically, the animated Spider-Man film from the last Spider-Man, Across The Spiderverse grossed over $600 million last year. 

  Madame Web is going down as one of the worst superhero movies of all time and arguably one of the worst movies of all time. I saw some promise, but I must say I agree with the negative reviews overall.   As someone who champions The Dark Knight as the greatest movie of all time, I think the genre just simply needs a rebirth or rebrand; the upcoming Deadpool & Wolverine, which is rated R, could be a signal for where the genre needs to move into, a more serious, mature tone, rather than a throwback to the pre-MCU days where superhero films were still in a camp like tune. Madame Web was a soulless cash grab from the start, Sony needs to do better if they want to maintain Spider-Man rights, because these movies they keep releasing make it seem like it’s inevitable Spider-Man will be a fully Marvel property once again.

American Fiction review - Jeffrey Wright delivers a career best performance

Jeffrey Wright comes through in this triumphant comedy, as American Fiction questions the social construct of being Black

By - Ubong Ekpo

(THERE WILL BE SLIGHT SPOILERS)

  I had the privilege this past week of attending an early screening of the upcoming film American Fiction, written and directed by Cord Jefferson, starring Jeffrey Wright, this film has immediately become one of my top favorites of the entire year.

  American Fiction touches on themes of racism, identity, family/caretaking duties, mental health, relationships, and navigating the challenges of being a Black artist in a system that doesn’t always value one’s authentic work.

  The film manages to tackle these conflicts in a lighthearted manner but also manages to stay grounded and still be taken seriously. The core butt of the joke throughout the film is the sometimes unintentionally comedic ignorance of so-called “progressive” White Liberal, who in their attempt to “reckon” the wrongs of their ancestor’s past, instead seem to perpetuate their own form of bigotry, still ultimately supporting the problematic systems in place, under the guise of being your friend, while still thinking lowly of those same people.

  Wright’s character, Monk is a novelist who happens to be Black(important distinction), but struggles for his work to be successful, as often Black voices are relegated and only celebrated when they embrace the most blatant and sometimes damaging aspects of our culture.  

  Monk showcases the attitude that many African Americans have started to grow towards representation in media, rather than truly seeing a variety of Black voices heard, often Black people are relegated to a subjugated role, where the White Liberals are seemingly “saving” or always in the right. While I do deem that aspects of Black History such as slavery, Jim Crow, and police brutality are important to highlight, they aren’t the only stories to be told. 

  Despite Monk writing novels that are not specifically about a Black experience, rather just pure works of fiction, one hilarious scene shows as he sees his book classified as African-American literature. 

  After experiencing several personal tragic life events and in some financial trouble, Monk decides to write the most stereotypical, in-your-face “ Black” book of all time, under the guise of a pen name. The film hilariously showcases how these blatantly black trauma fictions are digested by non-Black audiences. 

  White Liberals in particular still struggle to see African Americans entirely as people on a spectrum, rather they victimize us, which is what we get throughout the film, to the point where Monk has to take on a secret criminal persona, as the notion of a well educated Black man still being able to conjure the same experience or capable of writing a novel is not even of consideration to the majority of the audience whom loves his book.

 However, even if one is to agree with Monk’s assessment, there is also an internal conflict within Monk, as he is seemingly disconnected from his family, adopting a similar conservative tone to that of his late father. In his constant state of feeling superior, he does ignore that even the ones we look up to or hold in regard can be flawed, such as his ignorance of the fact that his father was having affairs with other women, something both his siblings and mother had known for years. 

  Even the core theme that the movie seems to drive the audience towards is challenged at points, such as one of my favorite scenes between Wright and Issa Rae’s characters when they finally have a somewhat confrontation, where Wright deemed Rae’s book, which partly inspired his tongue in cheek book, as pandering and perpetuating stereotypes. however, she challenges him, as although stereotypes aren’t the best, there are people who are actually like this and they deserve to be represented as well.

 Sterling K. Brown gave a strong performance as Cliff, the troubled, free-spirited brother, who is Homosexual (revealing his wife caught him with a man) and is shown to have been a Cocaine abuser. Even though Cliff would traditionally be the black sheep due to his new lifestyle and drug habits, he manages to be a constant humbling force to Monk’s uptight, conservative ways. Cliff consistently is out of the three siblings, the most grounded, he constantly brings his unique perspective and comedic timing to keep up with the many heavy tones. The Best Supporting Actor race is stacked during the awards season, but don’t be surprised if Brown garners some nominations.

 Jeffrey Wright captured the uppity attitude and still well-intentioned, relenting desire to be taken seriously as a Black author in a white-dominated world. he should be receiving his well-deserved first Oscar nomination for Best Actor. 

   I can truly say in a day and age where Comedic films are no longer the blockbuster tentpoles they used to be, American Fiction

is a classic laugh-at-loud comedy, that manages to turn tragic situations into incidents one can go back and look upon. American Fiction is a major contender for Best Picture, in a year stacked with Barbie, Oppenheimer, Poor Things & Killers of The Flower Moon, American Fiction stands out, maybe it’s time for comedy to make its triumphant cinematic return?

Scottie Pippen’s beef with Michael Jordan is a one-sided embarrassment

 Scottie Pippen’s beef with Michael Jordan is a one-sided embarrassment

By - Ubong Ekpo

  In the three years since the release of “ The Last Dance”, the documentary highlighting the Chicago Bulls dynasty of the 1990s, Scottie Pippen has been on a verbal tear towards his former teammate Michael Jordan. Pippen did not like how he was portrayed, as some negative aspects of his career were highlighted from his “migraine” in game 7 versus the Pistons, which was suspected to be him not wanting to play, to his infamous self-benching/ refusal to play when coach Phil Jackson drew a game-winning play for Toni Kukoc, not Pippen in the 1994 semifinals versus the Knicks, in addition to Pippen’s decision to have knee surgery before the 98 season, as a way to stick it to the team owners due to years of contract issues, hindering the team at points of the season, which Jordan himself remarked was a bit selfish on Pippen’s part.

 While the aforementioned incidents are all factual, historical information, Pippen felt highlighting these incidents painted him in a bad light, as well as added to his overall feeling that his role on the Chicago Bulls team was never truly appreciated. However, as Jordan himself has stated on numerous occasions,that Pippen was instrumental in the six championships they had won together. Jordan has not ever publicly responded to any of Pippen’s media attacks. 

 What is so perplexing about Scottie’s sudden negative stance on Jordan is that contrary to what he says now, the two seemed to be, if not close, at least amicable and certainly both held eachother in high regard. Moments such as Pippens hall of fame induction. , where he refers to Jordan as “ the best teammate” and states “ I will cherish our relationship forever. “ Fast forward to now, Pippen is referring to Jordan as a “horrible teammate”

Pippen's true gripe should be with the sports media. As Jordan himself cannot control the press, The conflict between the two hall of famers then takes an even more personal turn when we dive deeper into Pippen's ex ex-wife, Larsa, who is currently dating Jordan's son, Marcus. Whether it’s the recent developments or years-long animosity, Scottie isn’t doing himself any favors regarding his image.

It’s evermore so clear that Scottie Pippen is outright jealous and bitter at the success of Michael Jordan and he himself hasn’t been honest or realistic about the player he actually was. One argument Pippen and Jordan's detractors use is how the Bulls didn't advance past the first round until Pippen arrived. This is what we would describe as a false truth. While yes, Pippen’s rookie season was the same season the Bulls made it past the first round, Major context is needed. For one, albeit in a sweep, Jordan scored, to this day, a record 63 points against the 1986 Boston Celtics in game 2 of the playoffs, one of the greatest teams of all time, Pippen’s rookie season coincided with Jordan’s first MVP season with averages of 35 points, 5 rebounds,  6 assist, 3 steals, and nearly 2 blocks; he was also named defensive player of the year the same season, a feat only replicated once ( Hakeem Olajuwon 1994).  In comparison, Scottie Pippen averaged 7.9 points, 3.8 rebounds and 2.1 assists in 79 games in his rookie season in 1987-88. 

      Now about Larsa Pippen Again….

  

Larsa Pippen has developed a promiscuous reputation, that has alleged to have started during her marriage to Pippen. She was infamously linked to hip hop superstar Future, as well as high profile relationships with other NBA players such as Malik Beasly (who is currently her son, Scottie Pippen Jr.’s teammate), along with her previous friendship with the Kardashian family, which ended when she attempted to sleep with Tristian Thompson, Khloe Kardashian’s on and off again boyfriend and father to now two children. With her now dating Michael Jordan’s son in the midst of Pippen’s ongoing feud, it undoubtedly adds more salt to Scottie’s wound. As one can imagine, it would be embarrassing for Pippen to have his ex-wife, still using his last name, while being with other men. I personally find her relationship with Marcus Jordan to be in absolutely poor taste, and in many ways predatory. I don’t know when or how long Marcus personally knew Larsa, given she was Scottie’s wife since the late 90s, they must’ve crossed paths at some point when Marcus was a minor. They’re two consenting adults so they’re free to be with each other, but one must question the timing.

We must also acknowledge Pippen has also endured tragedy, as his son, Antron Pippen, passed away in 2021 at the age of 33.

 I, however, do not give Pippen a pass for either the passing of his son nor the transgressions of his ex-wife. Scottie should be overall grateful that he was blessed to play with the Greatest Player of all time. His career without Jordan is quite lackluster, while there are some deep playoff runs, Scottie never rose to the occasion like Jordan did, his career-high scoring average was a whopping 22 points per game. In his chances of leadership with the Bulls, the team only regressed, Pippen himself resorted to asking Jordan to return to the team, which he eventually did in 1995.

Scottie begging for his “horrible teammate” 

While I concur Michael Jordan’s teammates from the six championship teams could and should receive more credit for their part in the team winning, making personal attacks isn’t the way to go. I do feel for Scottie that his personal life is, unfortunately, being tangled into his professional career, and ultimately his legacy, but he must make peace with the circumstances of his career and his true potential as a player. Some players and superstars are Batman and some players are destined to be Robin. Being the second-best player in six championships is quite the accomplishment and Scottie should be proud, Michael Jordan was a scoring machine and athletic freak of nature, that I believe even without championships would still be an iconic figure. Scottie Pippen must make peace with Michael Jordan and not further damage his legacy with bitter cheapshots. Hopefully “ The Last Dance” truly wasn’t the last chapter in MJ and Scottie’s story.

Zoe Kravitz Attacks Michael Jackson and Kanye West on new Hulu Show ‘High Fidelity’

By - Ubong Ekpo

Classless, baseless ‘debate’ that added nothing to the show

I wanted to watch a new show, which brought me to ‘High Fidelity’. The only intrigue I had was knowing Zoe Kravitz, through her famous parents Lisa Bonet and Lenny Kravitz.

I actually enjoyed the show at first, despite the obvious copying of shows ‘Insecure’ and ‘Shes Gotta Have It’

However, it was the second episode that has completely turned me off from the show. At the beginning of this episode, a white woman comes into Kravitz’s character record store, she asks for a copy of Michael Jackson’s classic album, “Off The Wall”

Kravitz character, called ‘Rob’( weird flex but okay) at first hesitates, but then sells the record.

Then her and the other characters get into this pseudo intellectual, wannabe hipster debate on the ‘ethics’ of selling a Michael Jackson record.

The line that prompted me to write this, was where Rob states “How does it benefit society to hold Quincy’s genius hostage just because the dude who sang over his shit ended up being a full-blown child molester?”

I’d like for anyone to show me the evidence where it was proven Michael Jackson was a ‘full blown child molester.’ The Grand Jury of the Jordan Chandler case didn't seem to agree with that, neither did the 2005 jury who found Jackson not guilty on all charges.

It’s funny how Michael Jackson can be found innocent by two different juries, using the so lauded court system. Yet the narrative is he was guilty.

Kravitz’s line is dangerously ignorant and incorrect and only shows how dumbed down the general public is.

It’s clear this debate came up in the wake of 'Leaving Neverland', the mockumentary which has been debunked with numerous inconsistencies.

No one seems to question the logic of James Safechuck and Wade Robson ,that they were grown men ,well into their 20s and 30s stating they had zero clue that what they claimed happened to them was molestation.

This is until Wade Robson is rejected for the MJ one show in Las v=Vegas, suddenly both him and Safechuck, who claim to have not conspired together, conveniently ‘realize’ a grown man allegedly touching your private parts is wrong. These are men who both went on to have children by the way

Kanye West brought a lot of criticism he’s received to himself due to his affiliation with President Trump. I do not agree with him supporting Trump,however, likening his allegiance to that of someone being accused of pedophilia is an extreme reach

I don’t understand this new age logic where speaking inaccurately is considered deep conversation. The facts are there to showcase Michael Jackson’s innocence, read the documents.

Kanye West’s support of Trump is disappointing, yet it doesn’t warrant some fake debate about whether his music is ethical, being a republican is not a crime, although not advisable for a black person.

I am disappointed that Zoe Kravitz, whose father has worked with Michael Jackson and defended him ,went along with the unwarranted slander. It should be noted in this same episode, the characters are enjoying David Bowie’s music, despite the allegations he faced of sex with teenage girls.

‘High Fidelity’ is a fake woke agenda driven show, I do not approve.
