Allow us to be your guide!

What is Turning Red About?

Meilin “Mei” Lee is a 13-year-old school student who has just begun to deal with the chaos and uncertainties of teenage life. While she struggles to adapt to the changes, she also has to remain obedient at home and respect the wishes of her strict mother. As if all of this is not tough enough, Mei is, unfortunately, a victim of a family curse, because of which she transforms into a giant red panda whenever she is excited or stressed. To get rid of the curse, Mei must perform a special ritual on one specific night. While it seems pretty simplistic, her decisions are complicated when Mei learns that the day of the ritual coincides with the concert by her favorite boy band, 4*Town.

What to Watch

Remember how intensely awkward you were as a preteen? Pixar does, and they made a movie about it. Directed by Domee Shi in her feature directorial debut and written by Shi and Julia Cho, Turning Red revolves around Mei (Rosalie Chiang), a 13-year-old girl who’s torn between being the person her mom wants her to be and forging her own path. Oh, and also Mei turns into a giant red panda anytime she loses control of her emotions. Beautifully animated and deeply sweet, if this one won’t make you call your mom, nothing will.

‘Valley Girl’ (1983)

By Mark Graham

One of my favorite things about The Criterion Channel is their lack of pretension. Yes, you read that correctly. While you can definitely get your fill of Godard and Rohmer and other proudly pretentious capital-A Auteurs there, the channel also consistently features largely unheralded selections like 1983's Valley Girl, movies that are ripe for...

‘Ink Master’ Season 14

By Brett White

Ink Master is back with a vengeance on Paramount+. After an unceremonious and abrupt end to Season 13 (thanks, COVID-19), the tattoo competition series is back with an all-star season that ups the stakes, ups the drama, and ups the prize money. If you've never watched Ink Master before (hello, it is I), this is a great entry point into the... Read more

‘Thor: Love And Thunder’

By Mark Graham

My kids have been bugging me to watch Thor: Love And Thunder for months now. Despite my general aversion to all things MCU, I finally relented now that it's streaming on Disney+ . And you know what? It's not good! That said, there are two positives that came out of the experience: 1) Now my kids like Guns N' Roses. 2) Russell Crowe, baby! Fresh... Read more

‘Cobra Kai’ Season 5

By Josh Sorokach

Cobra Kai never ceases to give the fans what they want. A Johnny/Chozen team-up? Yes. The swashbuckling bravado of one Mr. Terry Silver? Absolutely. The return of "karate's bad boy" Mike freaking Barnes?! Just hook it to my veinssss! Cobra Kai Season 5 is a deft mix of hilarity, pathos, and delightful pop culture references as the endlessly...

‘The Serpent Queen’

By Meghan O'Keefe

Over the years, Starz has made a name for itself as the home base for female-forward, soapy medieval history dramas. The Serpent Queen is their latest and most devilishly fun costume drama to date. The Serpent Queen takes us away from the York and Tudor courts and drops us on the continent. Young Catherine de' Medici (Liv Hill) is an orphan left... Read more

‘Honk For Jesus, Save Your Soul’

By Anna Menta

You have to admire a film like Honk for Jesus, Save Your Soul, which is now in theaters and streaming on Peacock Premium. Not every swing this dark satire takes is a home run, but you've also never seen a movie take swings quite like this. Written and directed by Adamma Ebo, this mockumentary stars Sterling K. Brown as a disgraced pastor of a... Read more

‘Better Call Saul’

By Nicole Gallucci

Thought the Better Call Saul fanfare would die down after its sixth and final season concluded in August? Never. But also, especially not now. The 2022 Emmy Awards are on Monday, and Vince Gilligan and Peter Gould's masterful Breaking Bad prequel (and sequel) is nominated for its outstanding writing, sound editing, music supervision, cast, and...

‘Elvis’

By Samantha Nungesser

Elvis Presley may have left the building decades ago, but Austin Butler is bringing him right back in with his spot-on performance as the King of Rock. Released earlier this summer, Baz Luhrmann's Elvis biopic brings the musician's legacy back to life. Through the eyes of the singer's corrupt manager, Tom Parker, in which Tom Hanks plays perhaps...
