"I have always been a big fan of Independence Day (I've watched it well over 10 times in my life) and I am not sure why it never sunk in that Vivica Fox's character is a stripper. I was watching it this past weekend and was like wait a minute... I should review this for The Red Light Rules!

Reclaiming intimacy after birth is a conversation we don’t have enough. So many birthing people are told how to care for their baby—but not how to navigate the shifts in desire, identity, body, and connection that come with it. This workshop is an invitation to change that.

“We can all agree that abusive relationships are not exclusive to the porn industry. The point this film tries to make is that the entirety of the porn industry is bad & exploits women. As I mention in my review, I was not in the industry in the 70s so I don't know what was actually happening…

Well we've got Christopher Abbott being a sick freak again! I knew nothing about Piercing before watching it besides what the little movie preview sentence said ‘a man plans to kill a SWer to satisfy his murderous urges’. Alas, the script was flipped & the movie didn’t go how I thought it would!

The movie poster features Burt Reynolds as a cop, I imagined it would be the classic the cop wants to shut the place down, the townspeople are on board with closing it, etc. But the movie was actually the exact opposite! – Mel

Main takeaways, I know he is saying and doing all the right things but I still don't trust a cis, straight, white man whose films are SOLELY about people who have none of his lived experiences. It's giving fetishization of marginalized people and their stories. – Mel Audio blog available below!

I hope you enjoy this audio review of Red Rocket (available on our blog)! I watched it last night and boy did I feel many different things while watching. Mainly though, it was a lot of annoyance and second hand embarrassment from the actions of the main character. – Mel
