Suck it up, gatekeepers
14 January 2017
This movie was absolutely brilliant, action-packed with cracking jokes and the best cast imaginable. All four ladies did an excellent job and Chris Hemsworth was perfectly cast as well. If there are some misogynist gatekeepers out there who cannot stand girls kicking ghost butt, then, well, suck it up. This isn't a film for girls or a film for boys, those who are uncomfortable with this really need to go and take a gender studies class - the world doesn't revolve around your fragile male egos, you simply need to educate yourself and move on. It's a win-win, really, because if you can look past patriarchal tropes and structures, there's much more fun to be had, including films like this one.

Samantha Bee is killing it
12 January 2017
So glad Samantha Bee finally has her own show. She was amazing on The Daily Show as a correspondent, but now that she is in control, her true potential is finally being realized. My partner and I love Full Frontal, it's the realest sh*t. Finally a female voice that unapologetically tackles political commentary in a satirical way, cutting through all the BS of biased reporting that often pollutes our screens. Samantha Bee doesn't just crack jokes, though, she also does the gritty work of actually travelling, talking to people and digging deeper (also known as investigative journalism). Of course, those viewers that feel threatened by a woman tearing down rigid patriarchal structures will feel that Full Frontal is far too biased and leftist, etc. But I'd say, it's a nice change from all the white men commenting on current events. We need more diversity in the media and Samantha Bee is giving us that.
