Waves of Relationships

In this episode, I talk about the hit single of Mr. Probz called Waves (2014). I think that this song has a lot of imagery and metaphorical use of waves in relationships. It could be used for clarification of ending a relationship or choosing to ride the currents of the waters.

My Issue with Halle Bailey's The Little Mermaid (2022)

Within recent years, the film industry has been making a lot of money remaking films. They have been sweeping up a lot of money from doing so. However, with movies and shows that are remakes or "reimaging" they have been going about it in the wrong way. I discuss how they have been going about diversity and inclusion the same way that they have been in the past. I also discuss how diversity and inclusion with classic characters works.

Top Gun and Grief

In this episode, I discuss how the Top Gun franchise addresses grief, loss, shame and redemption. Top Gun and Top Gun: Maverick are great films that show how an individual goes through the 5 stages of grief and through acceptance, move forward with their lives.
