Lupin is the Nuanced Immigrant Representation We Need
In 2021, the French-language Netflix series Lupin took over, becoming the first French series to debut on Netflix’s U.S. top 10 list. Well-made and brilliantly paced, the show gave us suspense, intrigue, and beautiful shots of Paris. It also introduced us to Assane Diop, portrayed by Omar Sy. If you haven’t seen the show yet, […]
Marvel’s Lastest Projects Remind Us of the Importance of Community
As a comic book fan, I’ve noticed many superheroes are often depicted as loners with shameful secrets. Once their cover is blown, these heroes become larger-than-life, gods, and eventually targets.

Greta on HBO’s Genera+ion Captures Queer, Latinx Adolescence
HBO’s Genera+ion shows what it means for a young, queer Latina to fumble through romance for the first time.

Oddly, as a straight male, he’d never heard it but the rise of Bridgerton (before the whole, attempted coup thing) finally gave him a reason to learn it. While the latest Shondaland juggernaut is based on an extremely popular romance novel series, many men […]
Four Latinas on the ‘Saved by the Bell’ Reboot
The Saved by the Bell reboot premiered last week and it appears to be… good? Of course, we believe its success can be found in its latindad – it stars TWO Latinas in Haskiri Velazquez and Alycia Pascual-Pena and Maria Lopez is a producer. But what do Latinas think? Turns out, we’re pretty into it.
‘Eater’s Guide to the World’ Made Me Feel Seen (and Hungry)
On ‘Eater’s Guide to the World,” there’s an appealing view of humanity that manages to be both sweet and savory (get it? wink, wink).
Fictional Presidents Better than Trump
