The Beauty of Culture and Conflict in Marvel’s Black Panther

In Film, Marry + Screw + Kill by Alcy LeyvaLeave a Comment

Ryan Coogler) in which I found myself laughing out loud in the theater, and it wasn’t because there was anything particularly humorous happening on screen. I mostly laughed because I wondered how director Ryan Coogler was able to accomplish something so simple and yet still unheard of during my …

Carly Sioux. | Broken Angel.

In The Menu, Visual Arts by Akeem K. Duncan.Leave a Comment

Making her film directing debut, Sioux presents us with Broken Angel, an avant-noir film that is deliciously disorienting and ingeniously off its rocker. It’s a pleasure to watch an artist grow. We’ve followed Carly Sioux‘s career for some time now and when we heard that she was working on her first film, the anticipation was unbearable. The Brooklyn photographer’s photographic work possesses a …

That Cold Rock in the Night Sky.

We’re currently tripping balls over SZA‘s new tune “ICE.MOON”. Produced by Felix Snow and Patrick Lukens, “ICE.MOON” is a dramatic jam that gracefully trashes about in your eardrums.
