Critical Hits & Misses #96

• Bustle's Julie Sprankles discusses the 7 things "feminism" doesn't mean. (Ivonne)


• ABC wants more programs about the rural working class - because of the election? Like Clover Hope writes on Jezebel, let's hope this means more TV shows “all shades of blue-collar folks," and not just the white part of the working class. (Tova)


• Giaco Furino over at The Creator's Project blog takes a look at comics and the digital age, and asks where comics can survive through digitization. (Critical Writ staff)

Critical Hits & Misses #95

• The site Merry Jane may be "...dedicated to expressing a new cannabis mentality," but their article asking why there are so few TV dramas about working-class people is worth a read regardless of your views on cannabis use. (Tova)


• The Washington Post discusses how Saturday Night Live has turned the chaos (or hell) that was 2016 into tv gold. There is much discussion of the on-going Twitter feud between Trump and Alec Baldwin. (Ivonne)

For today's musical hit, I am obsessed with this choreographed video set to Moana's "How Far I'll Go," from the Kyle Hanagami Choreography dance studio. Besides my obsession with the music from Moana to begin with, I think what I love most about this video are the different races and body types of the dancers, and the giant UNITY IN DIVERSITY banner in the background.
