"Ōoku: The Inner Chambers" Is A Fascinating Deconstruction of Gender
In today's pop culture lexicon, deconstructions of gender are everywhere. The dystopian TV series Handmaid's Tale, based on the book of the same name, is about what happens when theocratic Christian patriarchy dominates all aspects of the United States. And, of course, Amazonian mythology has been rehashed in everything from Xena Warrior Princess to Wonder Woman.

Ranking Disney Movies by Eras
I call the Renaissance era the Broadway era of Disney. Disney has brought several shows to the great white way and they are all from this era here. The most singable music and the most memorable songs have come from these 10 movies. It also ushered in a new era of animation that is somewhat smoother and uses far brighter colors than previous animation.

Scrapper (2023)
Many years ago (nearly three) I used to have a proper job as a social work researcher and educator. Whilst in that role I would often find myself watching films and reading books and thinking – should I recommend this to the students? It has been a glorious release not to think like that anymore.

Ranking Disney Movies By Era
The Bronze Age of Disney took place from 1970 to 1988. Though it was also a solid era of filmmaking it is slightly easier to rank then the silver age. The Bronze Age however has arguably more nostalgia tied to it for Millennials so this list may be slightly less impartial. This era also contains 8 movies as this was before Disney had expanded and started cranking out movies like there was no tomorrow. So here we go, the Bronze era of Disney.
