cuties

Kate and Marcie are back from our Bachelor Nation break to discuss another reality TV show favorite - Netflix's Love Is Blind!

We're comparing Season 3 Dallas to Season 2 Chicago and discussing the most toxic couples and the latest breaking news of Raven and SK's breakup after some cheating rumors surfaced last week. Then we do a deep dive on each of the couples: Alexa and Brennon, Nancy and Bartise, SK and Raven, Cole and Zanab and Matt Colleen.

Plus, we are obviously discussing the reunion, including the infamous 'cuties' scene and what the choice to air that could mean. (Are the producers on Team Cole here?)

The exploitation of children in entertainment programming, particularly on streaming media platforms like Netflix and HBO, is rampant. In this episode, we visit with Tim Winter, president of the Parents Television and Media Council, about how we can fight back against Hollywood and this growing problem.

HERE IS THE EPISODE THAT NONE OF YOU ASKED FOR, but you got it anyways! Is the controversy worth it? This isn't a baited question that would normally tempt Kyle, but between the hate and the love that both seem to swarm around this film, he felt he needed to figure this out FOR ONCE AND FOR ALL! And then he couldn't figure it out....

WARNING: This episode contains discussion on sensitive matters, especially matters involving violence against women. Please listen with caution, and take care of yourselves.

Featuring: Miranda!

And excellent young woman who holds a degree in social justice, and who focuses on making the world a better place on a daily basis!

Joe Moubhij - For tapping keys at stage-left (IT Advice)

And Fathia Youssouf, for really bringing a raw performance to the screen. It hurt watching your character go through what they did, and I hope that in portraying her, that you were not hurt by the same issues she was meant to challenge.

And of course, Rooney Mara, for a face-meltingly good performance as Lisbeth. Stieg Larsson, for an amazing story. And David Fincher for a thorough and heavy adaptation.

On the show today…

Streaming giant Netflix is being accused of promoting sexualised footage of a child in their French-acquired film, Cuties. Are Netflix to blame?

And a dramatic exit and Australian first on last night's episode of the Bachelorette. But is there more to the story?

Plus, in today's deep dive...we talk about the biggest revelations from Mariah Carey’s new memoir including her tumultuous childhood and her abusive showbiz marriage.

Activist, writer, and Kino Lefter alumna Laura Kruse (@_SaturnReturn) joins the program to discuss one of the most controversial films of the year.

Cuties, a French film from director Maïmouna Doucouré is a coming of age story centering on Amy, a young Senegalese girl who becomes fascinated with a dance crew called "The Cuties" and searches for belonging between two models of femininity.

After Netflix tweeted a provocative poster of the young cast, it instantly became the target of a boycott campaign from the #SaveTheChildren, QAnon, and normie crowds alike. In this episode we explore the dimensions of this soon-to-be-forgotten controversy, what it means, and what value the film itself has as a liberal feminist document.

This week, we discuss the controversy, anger and backlash surrounding the Netflix release of “Cuties” due to its perceived sexualized portrayal of children. Tune in as we present both sides of the debate—from defenders of the film to #CancelNetflix supporters—and apply criminal law standards to see if any crimes were actually committed in making this film.

In this week's news, we discuss the debate surrounding Netflix movie Cuties. We give our thoughts on the film's controversial elements, as well the the #CancelNetflix backlash.

Then, we review Disney's live-action Mulan. We discuss the increasing influence of China in Hollywood, the "strong female protagonist", and why certain outlets reviewed it so well.

Afterwards, we give a spoiler-free pitch for Netflix's I'm Thinking of Ending Things. It's not everyone's cup of tea, but is a fascinating exploration of time and the stories we tell about ourselves. We eventually move into a spoilery section about what on earth actually happens in it!

This week the editors discuss:

• Another Case of an Invalidly Baptized "Priest"
• Netflix Film Cuties Rightly Being Scrutinized including Netflix interview of Cuties writer-director and the incorrect claims about Islam
• Chinese Controversies: COVID-19 and Vatican Ostpolitik
• Cardinal Tobin on Voting in "Good Conscience" for Biden

Is it better to have Inkoo Kang on an episode where she likes the movie or hates the movie? Well, we’re certainly not going to find out about the former because we’re talking about Charlie Kaufman’s I’m Thinking of Ending Things. This film is a bit…how-you-say….divisive? Listen to hear which side each host stands on. Inkoo also illuminates some very important details of the ’90 Day Fiancé’ oeuvre. We answer a question from the ‘Who Shotline’ about directors making films outside of their usual genre. And, as always, we’ve got ‘Staff Picks.’

In news, Jason Momoa backs up Ray Fisher’s claim about abusive behavior on the set of Justice League and the Cuties controversy continues.
