The Prince of Egypt | FILM FRIDAY | READUS 101 LaRon Readus 2020-04-10 | This Film Friday, I gush over Dreamworks animated musical The Prince of Egypt -- from Deliver Us to The Plagues -- and explain why it’s great in comparison to Cecil B. DeMille’s 1956 Moses epic that’s played every Passover, “The Ten Commandments”!Subscribe to READUS 101 for all things superheroes, movies, television, and comics! youtube.com/readus101?sub_confirmation=1 Click here to my spoiler-filled review of Ruben Fleisher’s “Venom!” youtu.be/V9PGwOn7WZE In this movie analysis, I sit down to re-watch the 1998 animated classic by Dreamworks Animation, The Prince of Egypt, starring Val Kilmer as Moses and Ralph Fiennes as Rameses. I discuss the importance of this story is in geek culture such as comics and video games, how this telling of the Exodus story is superior to the 1956 epic “The Ten Commandments” in terms of characterization and representation, and how the musical numbers Deliver Us, The Plagues and even When You Believe are just as important to the movie as everything else.

Why DCEU Aquaman Isnt White | READUS 101 LaRon Readus 2023-12-27 | Why DCEU Aquaman Isn't White || With the sequel probably being the last time he plays Aquaman, Jason Momoa did something very special when he starred in Aquaman 2018. Portraying a non-white Aquaman in the DC Extended Universe added a lot more depth to the character in a way that a traditionally white Aquaman never could’ve done -- especially with Aquaman vs Ocean Master -- and caused lots of people to see how much of a hold Americanization, white victimhood, anti-whiteness and even white supremacy had on DC Comics.

So while Barbarian explained the events that lead to its story, I want to focus on how Detroit's White Flight impacted the actual neighborhood of Brightmoor that's featured in the Barbarian movie instead of providing a typical Barbarian movie review.

Jordan Peeles Get Out: Invasion of the Body Snatchers Done RIGHT | READUS 101 LaRon Readus 2023-07-10 | Jordan Peele's Get Out: The White Invasion of the Body Snatchers || Jordan Peele’s Get Out is a great addition to the horror genre started by 1956's Invasion of the Body Snatchers, because it highlights its roots to whiteness instead of the anti-communist propaganda it originally tried to be. So I explain how Invasion of the Body Snatchers better reflects the evolution of whiteness to Americanization, how it uses racism, systemic racism and respectability politics to claim both the bodies and cultures of black people and other people of color, and how Get Out acts as reclamation for the loss of individualism body snatcher horror represents.Get “Get Out” here!amzn.to/3NCguMD Subscribe to READUS 101 for racial, social and queer film & tv analysis and perspective on your favorite bits of geek and pop culture media!References & ResourcesThe Invention of the White Race, Volume 1: Racial Oppression and Social Control by Theodore W.

How Queer is The Little Mermaid? | READUS 101 LaRon Readus 2023-05-10 | How Queer is The Little Mermaid? || The Little Mermaid, Hans Christian Andersen’s fairy tale about a mermaid princess, is a story about queer yearning that heteronormativity allowed Walt Disney Studios to market to girls. But with The Little Mermaid 1989 bringing on board Howard Ashman for its music, the Little Mermaid gay audience forming as a result solidified the Disney queer millennial fanbase that would spawn from the Disney Renaissance.

So when a prominent background character -- a tiger named Ryan -- was introduced in Johnny’s story in Sing 2, I was surprised that they didn’t do anything with him despite Ryan CLEARLY being interested in Johnny. So here’s how I adjusted Sing 2 so that Ryan and Johnny can have more of an arc together.Thumbnail art by @/artby_.brandon on Instagram!Start streaming “Sing 2” online on Netflix!Get “Sing” here!amzn.to/39Bvf2l Get “Sing 2” here!amzn.to/3y6KVnL Support My Affiliates!TubeBuddytubebuddy.com/readus101 TeeFuryteefury.pxf.io/c/3160852/1143080/14461Atom Ticketsatom-tickets.pxf.io/c/3160852/410332/7390 Subscribe to READUS 101 for all things superheroes, movies, television, and comics! youtube.com/readus101?sub_confirmation=1 Click to see why Wolf and Snake's story arcs in "The Bad Guys" are allegories for queer awakenings!youtu.be/q2K4FcrIdcY Recording Equipment:Canon Rebel T7i DSLR - amzn.to/313eINX Padcaster Parrot Teleprompter Kit - amzn.to/3fKMD23 Tascam DR-60DMKII Portable Digital Recorder - amzn.to/3lLmgzc VidPro XM-55 Condenser Shotgun Microphone Kit - amzn.to/3CsNAIu ePhoto Photography Studio Lighting Kit - amzn.to/2NkSzm7 ESDDI Softbox Photography Lighting Kit - amzn.to/314KHgy Support My Patreon!patreon.com/readus_101 Make One-Time Donations At:paypal.me/readus101 ko-fi.com/readus Buy Official Readus 101 Merch Here!readus101.creator-spring.com _____________________00:00 Intro06:28 Johnny’s Story is a Queer One11:24 What Does Sing 2 Do?17:07 It Should’ve Been Ryan24:23 ConclusionMusic“Foglite” by B-RadGfromOVnewgrounds.com/audio/listen/1077124 "Running" by B-RadGfromOVhttp://www.newgrounds.com/audio/listen/555023 Readus 101 Theme:"Phantom" by B-RadGfromOVhttp://www.newgrounds.com/audio/listen/595212 Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/readus101 Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/Readus_101 Tumblr: http://www.readus101.tumblr.com Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/readus101 TikTok: @Readus101#sing #sing2 youtube.com/watch?v=aQ9yUfMsEBs

The Bad Guys: Wolf and Snakes Gay Awakening | READUS 101 LaRon Readus 2022-06-08 | The Bad Guys: The Gay Liberation of Wolf and Snake || Dreamworks' “The Bad Guys” is about a furry group of thieves that -- thanks to their leader Mr. Wolf -- experience a very interesting allegory of exploring queer themes against an assigned patriarchy that doesn’t favor them stepping outside their roles. And while the LGBTQ themes are present in only a metaphorical nature, the story of The Bad Guys can easily be seen as a queer one in regards to how two of its main characters, Mr. Wolf and Mr. Snake, tackle the metaphor of gay feelings, expression and exploration that is “goodness.”Rent or Buy “The Bad Guys” here!amzn.to/3xm4esC Support My Affiliates!TubeBuddytubebuddy.com/readus101 TeeFuryteefury.pxf.io/c/3160852/1143080/14461Atom Ticketsatom-tickets.pxf.io/c/3160852/410332/7390 Subscribe to READUS 101 for all things superheroes, movies, television, and comics! youtube.com/readus101?sub_confirmation=1 ReferencesThe Will to Change: Men, Masculinity, And Love by Bell Hooksamzn.to/3Mu2yBz Creating Love: The Next Great Stage of Growth by John Bradshawamzn.to/3NGeO3H Click to see how Matt Reeves’ “The Batman” ended up spreading copaganda!youtu.be/24EJBku3puc Recording Equipment:Canon Rebel T7i DSLR - amzn.to/313eINX Padcaster Parrot Teleprompter Kit - amzn.to/3fKMD23 Tascam DR-60DMKII Portable Digital Recorder - amzn.to/3lLmgzc VidPro XM-55 Condenser Shotgun Microphone Kit - amzn.to/3CsNAIu ePhoto Photography Studio Lighting Kit - amzn.to/2NkSzm7 ESDDI Softbox Photography Lighting Kit - amzn.to/314KHgy Support My Patreon!patreon.com/readus_101 Make One-Time Donations At:paypal.me/readus101 ko-fi.com/readus Buy Official Readus 101 Merch Here!readus101.creator-spring.com _____________________00:00 Intro04:30 What’s The Hidden Element?11:18 What Makes “The Bad Guys” Queer?17:53 What’s The Deal With Snake?23:33 ConclusionMusic“Tritium” by B-RadGfromOVnewgrounds.com/audio/listen/1062424 "Wisdom Tooth" by B-RadGfromOVhttp://www.newgrounds.com/audio/listen/546551 Readus 101 Theme:"Phantom" by B-RadGfromOVhttp://www.newgrounds.com/audio/listen/595212 Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/readus101 Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/Readus_101 Tumblr: http://www.readus101.tumblr.com Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/readus101 TikTok: @Readus101#thebadguys youtube.com/watch?v=q2K4FcrIdcY
How to Grow Up: A Daniel Craig Era James Bond Retrospective | READUS 101 LaRon Readus 2022-06-01 | How to Grow Up: A Daniel Craig Era James Bond Retrospective || When it comes to James Bond, the Daniel Craig era was very unique; every one of Daniel Craig's Bond movies connected in order to tell a whole story that started with 2006’s Casino Royale and ended in 2021’s No Time To Die. Because of this, it’s easy to watch the Daniel Craig James Bond movies and see a consecutive theme in how he's portrayed. And considering Casino Royale is also the first James Bond story, themes of a man learning and embracing the hidden dangers of growing up (with the help of his mother) can be easily noticed throughout the Daniel Craig era.

How The Batman Spreads Copaganda | READUS 101 LaRon Readus 2022-05-04 | How The Batman Spreads Copaganda || With the release of The Batman streaming on HBO Max, we have yet another Batman movie from Warner Brothers and DC Comics that tends to promote “copaganda” - using media to highlight the importance of police via propaganda like Christopher Nolan’s Dark Knight trilogy did before it. But when it comes to the copaganda in The Batman, it was easily avoidable to focus on once you learn what the police really do in their connection with systemic racism, oppression, capitalism and colonization via white supremacy, and which character in The Batman almost helped shine an accurate light on how the police - Gotham included - are rooted in all of it.Start streaming “The Batman” online on HBO Max!Get "The Batman" Here:amzn.to/38Op7D1 Support My Affiliates!TubeBuddytubebuddy.com/readus101 TeeFuryteefury.pxf.io/c/3160852/1143080/14461Atom Ticketsatom-tickets.pxf.io/c/3160852/410332/7390 Subscribe to READUS 101 for all things superheroes, movies, television, and comics! youtube.com/readus101?sub_confirmation=1 ReferencesThe End of Policing by Alex S.

But what really makes Our Flag Means Death gay, is its use Taika Waititi’s Blackbeard -- through his relationship with the main character Stede Bonnet -- to tell an allegorical story about how close-knit toxic masculinity is to internalized homophobia leading up to the kiss scene, and how one’s journey of emancipation can be more difficult than it seems.Start streaming “Our Flag Means Death” online on HBO Max!

So since I can only speak for myself, I want to explain why black millennials love A Goofy Movie through how I personally related to its story and themes.Start streaming “A Goofy Movie” online on Disney Plus!Get “A Goofy Movie” Here!amzn.to/3GDedLI Support My Affiliates!TubeBuddytubebuddy.com/readus101 TeeFuryteefury.pxf.io/c/3160852/1143080/14461Atom Ticketsatom-tickets.pxf.io/c/3160852/410332/7390 Subscribe to READUS 101 for all things superheroes, movies, television, and comics! youtube.com/readus101?sub_confirmation=1 ReferencesUnderdogs: How A Goofy Movie Became Disney's Most Unlikely Sleeper Hitvanityfair.com/hollywood/2020/04/goofy-movie-anniversary-disney As Schools Trim Budgets, The Arts Lose Their Placehttps://nyti.ms/3GIUA52 Spare the Kids: Why Whupping Children Won't Save Black America by Stacey Pattonamzn.to/3srw2Iv What is Intersectionality, and what does it have to do with me?ywboston.org/2017/03/what-is-intersectionality-and-what-does-it-have-to-do-with-me Black Millennials: Identity, Ambition and Activismamzn.to/35T4WCl Click to see how I explain the betrayal of Ikaris from Eternals via character alignment!youtu.be/IYzse3gHzMI Recording Equipment:Canon Rebel T7i DSLR - amzn.to/313eINX Padcaster Parrot Teleprompter Kit - amzn.to/3fKMD23 Tascam DR-60DMKII Portable Digital Recorder - amzn.to/3lLmgzc VidPro XM-55 Condenser Shotgun Microphone Kit - amzn.to/3CsNAIu ePhoto Photography Studio Lighting Kit - amzn.to/2NkSzm7 ESDDI Softbox Photography Lighting Kit - amzn.to/314KHgy Support My Patreon!patreon.com/readus_101 Make One-Time Donations At:paypal.me/readus101 ko-fi.com/readus Buy Official Readus 101 Merch Here!readus101.creator-spring.com _____________________00:00 Intro03:45 (Some) X’ers Just Don’t Understand10:05 After Today16:32 Under Your Thumb25:08 Left or Right?31:36 ConclusionMusic"Blue Rose" by B-RadGfromOVhttp://www.newgrounds.com/audio/listen/591741 Readus 101 Theme:"Phantom" by B-RadGfromOVhttp://www.newgrounds.com/audio/listen/595212 Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/readus101 Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/Readus_101 Tumblr: http://www.readus101.tumblr.com Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/readus101 TikTok: @Readus101#AGoofyMovie #DisneyPlus #BlackHistoryMonthyoutube.com/watch?v=JFpidaNMGsA

So I go over both Mirabel and Bruno’s development over the course of Encanto and explain how they can both be black sheep in the same movie, and how them both being the black sheep of the Madrigal family allows them to play off of each other in order for Encanto’s lesson and the moral of the story to be as effective as it was.Start streaming Walt Disney’s Encanto online on Disney Plus!Get Walt Disney’s Encanto here!amzn.to/3fvLNIj Support My Affiliates!TubeBuddytubebuddy.com/readus101 TeeFuryteefury.pxf.io/c/3160852/1143080/14461Atom Ticketsatom-tickets.pxf.io/c/3160852/410332/7390 Subscribe to READUS 101 for all things superheroes, movies, television, and comics! youtube.com/readus101?sub_confirmation=1 Click to see how Walt Disney's Raya and the Last Dragon muddled its own moral!youtu.be/YidRwB2L0kg Recording Equipment:Canon Rebel T7i DSLR - amzn.to/313eINX Padcaster Parrot Teleprompter Kit - amzn.to/3fKMD23 Tascam DR-60DMKII Portable Digital Recorder - amzn.to/3lLmgzc VidPro XM-55 Condenser Shotgun Microphone Kit - amzn.to/3CsNAIu ePhoto Photography Studio Lighting Kit - amzn.to/2NkSzm7 ESDDI Softbox Photography Lighting Kit - amzn.to/314KHgy Support My Patreon!patreon.com/readus_101 Make One-Time Donations At:paypal.me/readus101 ko-fi.com/readus Buy Official Readus 101 Merch Here!readus101.creator-spring.com _____________________00:00 Intro02:49 So What is a Black Sheep?05:29 We Should Talk About Bruno10:59 Let’s Get Loud15:31 ConclusionMusic“Tritium” by B-RadGfromOVnewgrounds.com/audio/listen/1062424 "Wisdom Tooth" by B-RadGfromOVhttp://www.newgrounds.com/audio/listen/546551 Readus 101 Theme:"Phantom" by B-RadGfromOVhttp://www.newgrounds.com/audio/listen/595212 Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/readus101 Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/Readus_101 Tumblr: http://www.readus101.tumblr.com Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/readus101 TikTok: @Readus101#Encanto #EncantoMovie #EncantoDisneyyoutube.com/watch?v=S6F2yDVa3KI
