HBO Max’s queer pirate romcom, Our Flag Means Death, has become a runaway hit. Fans have embraced this diverse cast of pirates as they navigate the Golden Age of Piracy in an absurdist comedy that wrestles with serious issues. The show asks whether it is possible to experience self fulfillment by rejecting an oppressive society that traumatizes people with toxic definitions of masculinity and power. And there’s Taika Waititi as Blackbeard. Clearly this is the adventure of a lifetime.
In the pilot episode, self-professed “Gentleman Pirate” Stede Bonnet (Rhys Darby) proclaims, “Traditionally piracy’s a culture of abuse: floggings, keelhaulings. And my thought is why? And also: what if it weren’t like that?”
Stede’s question doesn’t just get to the heart of the show, it gets to the heart of activism. Real world activists pose the question, “why is there so much suffering and what...

[Note: With the film now out on DVD, here’s a reposting of our review of revenge thriller Nacro Sub]
Revenge thrillers have become increasingly popular in the last few years. John Wick seems to have been the most successful franchise in the genre but ever since Taken became a hit they have been made again and again. Any older actor, even if only with one or two hits on their IMDb page has given this small genre a go (Liam Neeson has made at least a dozen of what is essentially the same film). So it’s perhaps no surprise that smaller, indie films are having a go at this too. With that comes Narco Sub, the story about a guy who has to kill to save his family.
That very brief synopsis...
