But an unexpected set of consequences emerges when it’s revealed that the boy Adam killed was the son of an infamous New Orleans crime family.

Tarot, Astrology, Crystals - Spirituality is replacing religion The Take 2023-01-08 | Tarot readings, healing crystals, witchcraft, and astrology… these practices have seemingly taken over our online and IRL spaces. But not only are these factions of spirituality on the rise – they seem to be replacing organized religion. But is this shift from religiosity to spirituality an aesthetic choice?

This script was written by Anya Formozova. You can see more of her work here: http://www.youtube.com/c/Cue22The "Hot Mess" has been the queen of the female-led sitcom (and sad-com) for two decades now, from Bridget Jones to Fleabag to Mindy Lahiri. She’s outspoken, impulsive and has big appetites, whether it's for booze, food, shoes or men. There’s plenty that’s radical about the hot mess, from her slapstick comedy to the way her stories illuminate issues around sex, trauma and mental health from a female perspective. And, even if we’d most likely not make the choices she makes, the hot mess’ mixture of charisma and self-deprecation makes her relatable. But is it time to move on from her as the main representation of young-ish female protagonists onscreen?If you like this video, subscribe to our channel and support us:Join our Patreon: patreon.com/thetakeFollow our TikTok: tiktok.com/@thisisthetakeSnap: snapchat.com/discover/The_Take/6898188394 Instagram: http://instagram.com/ThisIsTheTakeWe are The Take (formerly ScreenPrism).00:00 What makes The Hot Mess so captivating?02:16 All of her messy traits05:52 Factor07:14 The comedy queens funniest moments11:52 But she can also be quite tragic...14:23 How will The Hot Mess continue to evolve?

Women Everywhere Are Reaching Their Breaking Point | FEMINISM The Take 2023-01-05 | Feminism is currently in a backslide in the U.S. And around the world, there are increasingly more attacks on women’s liberties and lives – even in democracies like ours. The war on women is global. And so is the fight against it. You spoke up in the comments of our ‘Death of Feminism’ video in droves – and you were right. A purely American lens on feminism leaves out the majority of the world, and the struggle for women’s liberation hasn’t ended.Thanks to social media and our increased accessibility to global news, we’re witnessing havoc wreaked against women on an international scale at a speed and volume that was not possible in any other century. But with our liberties—and the liberties of women in our global community—being threatened, we can’t afford to burn out now. Here’s our take on how the global war on women has reached a breaking point – and how we can fight back by learning from other women in similar positions around the world.If you like this video, subscribe to our channel and support us:Join our Patreon: patreon.com/thetakeFollow our TikTok: tiktok.com/@thisisthetakeTwitter: http://twitter.com/ThisIsTheTakeWebsite: the-take.comWe are The Take (formerly ScreenPrism).00:00 The global war on women rages on02:06 Resistance brewing in America05:50 Learning from the global fight for women's rights12:12 Why these fights are so important13:18 We do better together

How Toxic Discourse Can Do More Harm Than Good The Take 2023-01-03 | Is it time to retire the word “toxic”? The word “toxic” itself has become a buzzword – that’s even become an integral part of our channel’s vernacular. But it’s beginning to feel like the word is losing its meaning. If everything is toxic, then nothing is... You don’t have to look far online these days to find hordes of advice telling you how to cut toxic people out of your life. But the problem is that this oversimplified advice is very black and white, and at its worst conflates behavior that you may personally find annoying with genuine abuse. It also assumes all relational problems are a one-way street, and doesn’t allow for any self-examination.If you like this video, subscribe to our channel and support us:Join our Patreon: patreon.com/thetakeFollow our TikTok: tiktok.com/@thisisthetakeSnap: snapchat.com/discover/The_Take/6898188394 Instagram: http://instagram.com/ThisIsTheTakeWe are The Take (formerly ScreenPrism).00:00 Has "Toxic" Become...

For a long time, the leading man has been an alpha male type. But now it feels like leading men are becoming more unkempt, unbothered, but maybe even more attractive as a result. They’re a little rougher around the edges, tortured souls, and still manage to be really hot. So, why now? Maybe because our leading men in cinema have been handsome, but a little bland for so long. The dirtbag represents an alternative to the status quo, and right now the status quo is pretty chaotic, so those who push against it almost seem aspirational.

The history of the movies is a history of movie stars –- they were the reason why people came to the movies. But now – it’s not actors that draw people to the cinema, it’s properties. The big tentpole releases that get the buzz tend to be ongoing franchises or reboots, where the performers feel subservient to the overall product. On the flipside, actors now have more freedom than they did in the past, and movies aren’t the be all and end all anymore with the rise of prestige TV. So is the true movie star dying out because the business has changed, or because actors have changed?If you like this video, subscribe to our channel and support us:Join our Patreon: patreon.com/thetakeFollow our TikTok: tiktok.com/@thisisthetakeTwitter: http://twitter.com/ThisIsTheTakeWebsite: the-take.comWe are The Take (formerly ScreenPrism).00:00 Are Hollywood stars a dying breed?01:22 The last of the REAL movie stars04:37 MUBI05:31 What really shifted things for Hollywood actors?10:24 The big franchise takeover12:58 How it became so hard to break into Hollywood

You’ve Got Mail - In Defense of Joes Toxic Traits The Take 2022-12-24 | GET YOUR WEIRD GIRL MERCH: bit.ly/3dcsJ0HIs Tom Hanks’ Joe Fox in You've Got Mail not actually that toxic after all? He does make some questionable choices, and it can make you doubt at points – how romantic is this story of his courtship with Meg Ryan’s Kathleen Kelly? But as shady as some of his actions might be, Joe’s duplicity gets at the ultimate message of the film – which is that a lot of us are actually living double lives, often without realizing it. This duality is central to the romance because Kathleen also isn’t living her truest life. So why are we so afraid to be our best selves, when we know it’s going to make us happy? And what is it that finally pushes us over the edge to make that change?If you like this video, subscribe to our channel and support us:Join our Patreon: patreon.com/thetakeFollow our TikTok: tiktok.com/@thisisthetakeTwitter: http://twitter.com/ThisIsTheTakeWebsite: the-take.comWe are The Take (formerly ScreenPrism).00:00 Revisiting You've Got Mail's love story01:04 How Joe and Kathleen "play roles"05:29 Why it's hard to be our true selves07:57 Finding love online09:53 Joe isn't really that bad

Prince Charming Onscreen - It’s Time For An Update | TROPES The Take 2022-12-22 | Go to http://rocketmoney.com/thetake to cancel your unnecessary subscriptions with Rocket Money.Modern versions of the fairy tale princess archetype are a far cry from the stereotypical damsel in distress, waiting for her prince. But what about Prince Charming himself? Has he been updated? Modern stories that do involve a prince charming figure often don’t bestow him with nearly as much interiority, agency, or complexity. And if a newer movie does want to challenge the prince charming stereotype, they mostly resort to a different kind of boring: a predictably shallow doofus (who’s also sometimes evil), or a quote “fixer-upper” who the princess sees something in even though he’s rough around the edges. So why hasn’t the Prince gotten the same updates as contemporary Princesses – and could he ever become something more three-dimensional and... interesting?If you like this video, subscribe to our channel and support us:Join our Patreon: patreon.com/thetakeFollow our TikTok: tiktok.com/@thisisthetakeSnap: snapchat.com/discover/The_Take/6898188394 Instagram: http://instagram.com/ThisIsTheTakeWe are The Take (formerly ScreenPrism).00:00 Prince Charming needs a better suitor01:27 The secretly evil doofus prince05:01 The fixer-upper prince07:01 Rocket Money08:17 What lessons do these princes teach us?12:48 How to make Prince Charming more charming

The Ugly Pretty Girl: It’s the Stories That Need a Makeover | TROPES The Take 2022-12-20 | Go to http://masterclass.com/thetake to buy one annual membership and get one free. We all know the "ugly pretty girl" trope: she’d be so pretty if she just took off those glasses and rags, or just lost some weight, or just put on a little makeup! After her makeover, we see that people treat her better, that her life becomes more fulfilling, and that she comes closer to realizing who she actually is. But this lesson doesn’t exactly hold water in real life, and adds to the already overwhelming societal pressure to look and be a certain way. But the ugly-to-pretty girl story can also teach us about the link between inner and outer beauty, and how confidence in one can lead to confidence in the other.

The Crown S5 Explained, The Institution vs Its People | ROYALS The Take 2022-12-08 | Season 5 of The Crown has faced a lot of criticism for being too soft on the Royals. Many were expecting, or hoping, for Charles to get a villain edit as the show geared up to cover the early 90s… but instead, fans were met with a rather subdued version of Charles’ infidelity and its effect on Diana. However, while the characters may get our sympathy, the Monarchy itself doesn’t. This season is the most explicit and damning in how it shows these people manipulated and abused by a brutal, draconian system.

The Childfree Woman Trope Needs a SERIOUS Update The Take 2022-12-04 | Society still has a problem with the child free woman. Despite all the advances that have been made in terms of women’s rights, motherhood is still depicted as the idealized end goal for all women, to the point where depictions of childfree women in movies and TV often feel reductive or even vilified. The childfree woman desperately needs an upgrade to reflect society’s changing attitude towards the decision to not be a parent.

Female Friendship Stories - How We Finally Moved Away from Rivalries The Take 2022-12-03 | Are we finally trading mean girls for sisterhood? Female friendships have traditionally been depicted onscreen with a rigid hierarchy, but plenty of stories today about female friends today are moving beyond “rivalry” arcs, and toward centering equal, sisterly bonds. We're seeing more stories bout friendships that aren’t disrupted by women having to strive in a cut-throat social pecking order or to snap the right job or man, but are instead about how females can support each other and connect through shared experiences.If you like this video, subscribe to our channel and support us:Join our Patreon: patreon.com/thetakeFollow our TikTok: tiktok.com/@thisisthetakeTwitter: http://twitter.com/ThisIsTheTakeWebsite: the-take.comWe are The Take (formerly ScreenPrism).00:00 Gals pals are pushing mean girls out01:23 All the ways female friendships had been portrayed in the past07:14 Older women on screen have avoided the cattiness11:22 Friendships as community
Why “Female Entertainment” Still Gets Written Off The Take 2022-12-01 | Why is there still so much shame and belittlement directed towards popular female media? Female fandom has driven some of the biggest cultural moments of the 20th and 21st centuries. But, with the notable exception of The Beatles, arguably none have ever been widely accepted as legitimate, serious art. On the other hand, culture targeted toward men gets put center stage. All this leads to an even more fundamental question: At a time when gender stereotypes are supposed to be breaking down – why is there even still such a divide between “women’s” and “men’s” entertainment?

What’s Really Behind Elon Musk’s Twitter Chaos The Take 2022-11-27 | Will Elon Musk finally be what kills Twitter? For years, the social network has been an extremely popular center for news and public conversation. But it’s been in a chaotic transition phase since Tesla CEO Elon Musk completed his purchase of the company. Elon’s transition to Twitter CEO has come with immediate changes, like mass employee layoffs and new features designed to monetize the platform. But changes like this one fundamentally alter Twitter’s landscape.

Since we’ve now entered a period where the idea of what it means to be a boomer has become contested, it’s time to ask: What was the boomer ideal, and how much of it holds up? By looking at the pop culture the boomers originally produced, and comparing it to the way they’re portrayed now, we can gain insight into how to correct some of that generation’s mistakes, but also where to find generational common ground, and potentially learn from the past.If you like this video, subscribe to our channel and support us:Join our Patreon: patreon.com/thetakeFollow our TikTok: tiktok.com/@thisisthetakeTwitter: http://twitter.com/ThisIsTheTakeWebsite: the-take.comWe are The Take (formerly ScreenPrism).00:00 Should we really write off boomers?01:22 Why Boomers are so vilified03:24 MasterClass04:35 How Boomers mythologized themselves08:14 Do Boomers have more in common with younger generations?10:07 Why we shouldn't dismiss boomers

Get an additional $50 off on any purchase with code TheTake during their Black Friday Sale. Go to kamikoto.com/TheTake and help support the channel.The trophy wife: She’s married to a rich, powerful man—possibly decades her senior. And at a glance, this gorgeous woman appears entirely out of her husband’s league. Her beauty adds to his status and social capital – hence the “trophy” part of the label. While the Trophy Wife is technically defined as being a positive status symbol for her partner, the identity often comes with a negative implication that she’s not his intellectual or professional equal or isn’t deserving of the success she gets to enjoy. Here’s our take on who the trophy wife really is – onscreen and off – how the qualities that make her a prize shift over time, and what her evolution says about “ideal” womanhood.

The “End” of Cancel Culture - Why We Need a Better System The Take 2022-11-20 | Cancel culture has been canceled… and for good reason. We’ve been living through the era of cancellation for nearly a decade now and are beginning to see people re-emerge from their periods of public banishment. If cancel culture was working, you’d see these people come out reformed. It feels like a step backwards that people who did some really bad stuff seem to have gotten away with it, and it also reveals just how muddy the waters of cancel culture were in the first place.If you like this video, subscribe to our channel and support us:Join our Patreon: patreon.com/thetakeFollow our TikTok: tiktok.com/@thisisthetakeTwitter: http://twitter.com/ThisIsTheTakeWebsite: the-take.comWe are The Take (formerly ScreenPrism).00:00 Is cancel culture canceled?00:55 How the broken system has evolved04:06 The inconsistencies of who we cancel08:49 The anti-cancel culture movement

But now that she’s passed, there’s less shielding the series of cover-ups and disturbing stories that paint a different picture of a larger family and culture. Not only are younger Brits are feeling more comfortable speaking out against the crown or criticizing those in power, but the Queen’s death is ushering in a new era of the royal family, one that is more vulnerable to criticism.

Derry Girls’ Michelle - Rise of a Brash & Rowdy Alpha The Take 2022-11-17 | Get a full month of MUBI FOR FREE: mubi.com/thetakeDerry Girls’ Michelle Mallon is the quintessential alpha girl – but how real is that act? When we’ve seen alpha girl characters onscreen before, they’re often cast as mean girls – master manipulators, school bullies, or just kind of annoyingly assertive. Initially Michelle could come across that way, too. But Derry Girls goes deeper into the alpha girl’s psychology to ask why they’re so determined to be the leader of the pack. Michelle is genuinely brimming with confidence and loves leading the others on pleasure-seeking adventures. At the same time, her brash exterior is also a coping mechanism employed to deal with a broken family, splintering friendship group, and tumultuous society.If you like this video, subscribe to our channel and support us:Join our Patreon: patreon.com/thetakeFollow our TikTok: tiktok.com/@thisisthetakeTwitter: http://twitter.com/ThisIsTheTakeWebsite: the-take.comWe are The Take (formerly ScreenPrism).00:00 What makes Michelle Mallon a blast01:16 A new kind of alpha girl04:09 MUBI05:07 Michelle's insecurities and fears08:03 Hometown culture shock
