Brain Food At The Movies

Hello everyone and welcome to yet another installment of Brain Food At The Movies, wherein I gush and talk about Del Toro’s latest movie, a gigantic love letter and homage to everything I loved as a child, Pacific Rim!

I also discuss how white feminists have been coming out to dismiss, critique, and put down the character of Mako Mori, and how it comes off as nothing more than the problem of Mako Mori NOT being white.

Fucking hell, WHY do they need some woman of colour to step on to make themselves feel better?

Brain Food At The Movies – Episode 3

Hello everyone, and welcome to the third installment of Brain Food At The Movies, wherein I talk about Star Trek – Into Darkness!

It’s easily one of the most shallow, pandering, lazy pieces of writing slapped on screen that I’ve ever seen, and includes an unfortunate amount of whitewashing in replacing the character of Khan with a white guy, Super Benederp Cucumbatch, when he had been Indian in the original series and played by the most excellent Ricardo Montalban.

Brain Food – Episode 20

Hello everyone, and weclcome to the 20th episode of Brain Food, wherein I review the comic book La Brujeira!

It feels good to have done as much as I have, and I am happy for those who watch this series. I like to believe that in doing this series, it helps to make me a better person and that I will become a better person still in examining bigotry, racism, and sexism, as well as other woes, in writing and recommending works of writing that go beyond stereotypes and show even a part of the full spectrum that makes up human beings.
Plus, I just love reading!

Brain Food – Episode 19

Hello everyone, and welcome to episode 19 of Brain Food, where I tell you what’s yummy and nutritious for your head!

Today’s book…?

Chicks Kick Butt.

But only if you’re a straight, white chick.

One thing I do want to make clear though, in case I didn’t in the review, is that on a technical sense, this book and all its short stories are written very well. They simply fail at everything else, as I pointed out.

Brain Food – Episode 6

On today’s episode I discuss the first novel of RJ Scott’s trilogy, Fire.

It is, without a doubt, one of the worst bits of fiction I’ve ever seen, and my review will explain why.

Seriously, I could think of a dozen ways that this could have been improved, and I doubt that any of those ways were taken in the second and third volumes of the series, which I will not be collecting.

This was a total skip, people. Total… skip.
