Madame Web

Written by Ian Thomas Malone, Posted in Podcast

Her web connects us all! Or does? Absolutely not.

Ian is joined by Ed Carroll for a discussion on Sony’s Spider-Man Universe’s latest disaster. Ian and Ed break down the odd narrative decisions, like the bargain bin Terminator chase to the odd application of clairvoyance powers to the puzzling absence of spider powers in a film with three Spider-Girls/Spider-Women. What a mess!

Disclaimer: Sony sent Ian a copy of the 4K/Blu-ray release for the purposes of recording this episode.

Constantine Venetopoulos, director of Draw With Me

Written by Ian Thomas Malone, Posted in Blog

Today we welcome Constantine Venetopoulos to the show to talk about his new short documentary, Draw With Me. The film follows the coming out journey of nonbinary teen Brendon Scholl, with appearances by Brendon’s aunt Jennifer Lopez and President Joe Biden. Draw With Me was featured at the first ever panel on transgender health at the United Nations and is an Official Oscar Entry for the Documentary Short category.

Draw With Me is an excellent resource especially for parents looking for resources to support their trans children. Constantine & Ian discuss the complicated family dynamics that can surface after coming out and the contrasts between America’s growing acceptance of LGBTQ people against the backdrop of the Trump administration.
