RiotGrrrl spirit is alive on Netflix
Moxie is a 2021 film produced by Netflix, based on the book by Jennifer Mathieu. It is available Free on Netflix now. The film is set in comedy/drama that explores the modern world, social media, sexism and the toxic culture that can await young people in high-school. It is based around a fictional school and possibly exaggerated characters, but everyone has personal experiences with people who used confidence as a weapon and bullied both male and females. It highlights that in 2021, different issues face the women of now, but they need to be fought with the same vigor as the battle for the vote, equal pay, maternity leave and work-place harassment.

Royal Fever: 3 Things to Watch if you Liked "The Crown"
Please note: There are mild spoilers for "The Crown" in this article. - For the past two years, I was studying a Master's degree in London. Being a foreigner living in London, I was curious about all things related to the British Monarchy. I visited the Tower of London to see the Queen's Jewels, often walked through St. James' Park (next to Buckingham Palace) and watched the Royal Guard rehearsing early on Saturdays. I visited Windsor Palace and went room by room hooked to my audioguide listening to historical facts (you'll find that I'm a bit of a history nerd).

Moxie(2021)- Review
"In some ways, a lot has changed and, in some ways, nothing has changed at all." Amy Poehler recently used this line while promoting the Netflix movie she has directed and starred in. The above line fits quite perfectly with the premise of the film. There is a high school that acknowledges and is aware of the wider societal issues but nonetheless does not fully understand or execute them. The students are rampant in carrying out activities they deem unharming, with ignorance running wide among teachers and the principal alike. In this backdrop, Vivian (Hadley Robinson) finds herself enraged and wanting to do something about the toxic and dilapidating culture at her school. After getting inspired by her mother, Lisa (Amy Poehler), and her rebellious past, the shy & quiet Vivian takes matters into her own hands initially starting a zine and ultimately driving a school-wide revolution.

Must Watch Netflix Hidden Gems
I spent the majority of my nights recently, thinking, what in the hell am I doing at 4 am in the morning, watching this show, and why in the world can I not stop! Jesus Christ! These shows I've been watching are addictive level 100 and I've had my own theories on the science behind what made these shows so binge-worthy, and exactly why you should get hooked on them as well.

Obscure Movies for Netflix Bingers
Grace and Frankie / Kimmy Schmidt / Schitt's Creek : Tallulah If you've just finished shows like Grace and Frankie, Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, or even Schitt's Creek, you'll love Tallulah. It's heartfelt, comedic, and just a bit offbeat. A woman (Elliot Page) takes an infant from an unfit mother in a hotel room. With nowhere to go, Tallulah finds herself on the doorstep of her ex-boyfriend's mother's (Allison Janney) home and ends up in a lie to get her help.

Ten Great Documentaries to Watch on Netflix
As much as I love my silent films, as much as I love my golden age cinema, I also adore Netflix just like a lot of other people. I tend to use Netflix for watching Netflix original content such as crime shows, documentaries etc. Whereas, I use Amazon Prime to actually watch old movies I come across which have not yet been restored and I think that is adorable. Anyways, documentaries on Netflix become fairly popular and I, for the past few weeks, have been doing so much digging into these that I may need a few weeks off - turn back to my silent films - and just switch Netflix off for a while.

Schitt's Creek
Where do I go from here? This challenge feels particularly personal because Schitt's Creek ending has left a two-star motel-sized hotel star in my heart, so filling that hole and finding something that could rub me the same way might be a stretch. That's why it's called a challenge, right?

Lights, Camera, Netflix!
So, it’s Saturday night and you’re loving SNL and its quirky comedy vibe. You worship the light-hearted girly comedies like The Proposal and Miss Congeniality but want something a little more outrageously funny. Bridesmaids is hilarious, goofy and can give you enough cringy ‘you wouldn’t really do that at a dress fitting’ moments to put you off tying the knot for life! Kristen Wiig sold that movie as the jealous disaster- bound bridesmaid, and now you’ve seen a snippet of Melissa McCarthy as the butch dog-thief you want more.

Five Reasons Why Netflix Should Revive Their Zombie Comedy, Daybreak
In late 2019, me and my housemate found ourselves in a familiar situation. Tired, bored, and half-heartedly scrolling through Netflix in search of something we both might enjoy. Among the shows and films we’d already watched, we spotted a series we’d never seen before. A post-apocalyptic zombie comedy, Daybreak, that had received little advertisement and, as far as we could tell, almost no attention. Intrigued, we started watching. A few days and ten episodes later, we sat thrilled by the finale and eagerly looked up how long we’d have to wait before we got to enjoy season 2, only to find that the show had already been unceremoniously cancelled.

A Filmmaker's Review: "Behind Her Eyes" (Netflix, 2021)
I'm not going to lie, the concept and a lot of the writing was pretty good to be perfectly honest. Unfortunately though, the acting was not - except for the woman who portrays Louise - she was alright. The series seems to be more about big plot twists and making the viewer feel shocked rather than explaining what is actually going on here. The fact that we get a very important plot point not until about episode four or five in the series and yet, this is expected to be a massive part of the ending. The problem here is that it has been pretty much shoe-horned in. Yes, it explains the 'twist' ending, but it also feels like it is there just to give a reason for it too. There really is a certain amount of the acting, especially in the latter episodes alongside the strangeness of the plot, that is laughable. Let us take a look at this.
