My dreams for the theatre in 2021 and beyond
This dumpster fire year is almost over. Hooray! Among the many unpleasant realizations we've had to digest this year, for theatremakers one of the worst is that our industry is, well, a mess. An inequitable, abusive, elitist mess.

Stranger Things: The Parallel between the Upside Down, the Abyss, hell,Vecna the Mind Flayer, and Satan
Stranger Things has come and gone, but fans are still dissecting the Netflix series. As a Bible reader and a believer in the return of Jesus Christ and the battle of Armageddon, I found several parallels. This is my personal observation, and you may have your own.

Unpaused(2020)- Review
Unpaused is an anthology film consisting five different segments of different stories. The first one, Glitch, set in the future where the world has transformed owing to Covid-19 and its variations like Covid-22/Covid-30 (referring to the year of the new virus’ inception). It tries to imagine what the world could be like if this dreaded virus stays with us for a long time. It primarily focuses on two young adults trying to kindle their relationship in this new AR/VR world. Ahan (Gulshan Devaiah) is paranoid & fearful or hypo (possibly meaning hypochondriac) as people like him are referred to. On the contrary Alizah (Saiyami Kher) is a brave and bold women. Initially puzzled by how they were matched by the dating app dislike each other, but with time a love story follows. Unlike the old times, religion/family/society type of issues are not hindrances that stop the romantic ‘happy ending’ for the couple, but new type of challenges that ensue with evolution of a technology & Covid driven world.
