5 Years Ago, Prime Video Quietly Released An Overlooked Sci-Fi Masterpiece

by

As a sci-fi fan, I’ve been really excited to see streaming services offer up some different kinds of stories lately. We’re getting away from just big-budget effects and endless reboots, and instead seeing a return to more thoughtful, character-driven sci-fi. Netflix has been great with films like Bird Box, The History of Future Folk, and They Cloned Tyrone – they all feel fresh and unique. But 2020 also brought us a fantastic original from Prime Video, and honestly, it’s quickly become one of my favorite sci-fi movies of the 21st century.

Mario games that aren’t the main series are generally really enjoyable, and Mario Kart is often considered one of the best multiplayer racing games ever made.

The War Between the Land and the Sea shows where TV is failing with disability representation

by

As a film buff, I’m really disappointed by the casting in “The War Between.” It feels like the show thinks simply including a disabled character is enough. So far, it seems they haven’t gone any deeper than surface-level representation – there’s no real exploration of disability beyond what you immediately see. It’s a sadly familiar pattern in media, where just having a disabled person on screen is considered a job well done, and it’s frustrating to see it happening here too.
