My Old Ass
Aubrey Plaza has really only ever taken projects that she seems passionate about. But this year she has thrived in Agatha All Along and My Old Ass. Now she has faced criticism in the past to the effect that she only plays herself in movies and has no acting ability beyond her personality. I think her exploration of Rio in Agatha All Along proved that false. But My Old Ass seems to be back to her regular brand of comedy.

The Reality of Fame: Lessons from Blake Lively's Journey
Over the past century, Hollywood has evolved from a hub for trailblazing women to a male-dominated industry. Given the high-profile cases that have revealed its misogynistic practices, it must address gender inequality. The existing system feeds a cycle of female exclusion and cultivates a toxic culture. In their lawsuit, Blake Lively claims that Justin Baldoni, the actor-director, acted improperly and made disparaging remarks about their 2024 film, It Ends With Us. It was an 80-page complaint that was first believed to be a public relations tactic to promote the movie. Given the high-profile cases that have revealed Hollywood's misogynistic practices, the industry needs to address gender inequality. By exposing misogynistic people and promoting women on and off screen, Hollywood can overcome its lengthy history of discrimination and alienation of women. Let's use Blake Lively's recent accusations to consider the subtleties of a toxic workplace and Hollywood's attitude toward women.

Five Best Movie Podcasts Of 2024
It's unfair that movie podcasts are a "dime a dozen" only because there are so many of them. I prefer to assess this genre as there are many of these podcasts developed for a small audience of friends, family, and assorted acquaintances. For those movie podcasts with higher aspirations, however, here are the five best movie podcasts of the year. I must offer a trigger warning that this selection will be vastly different from the choices by the media establishment, where notoriety can often be a substitute for quality.

The Fire Inside
There have been quite a few films based on true stories this year and they were all incredibly depressing, at least for the most part. I suppose no one chooses to adapt happy stories, because what's the fun in that? But among the sad stories of the world, there have been some truly touching and uplifting ones, including The Fire Inside.
