Help was the most harrowing, brutal, yet validating, movie watching experience of my life! It's set in Liverpool (my city!) during the first few months of the pandemic, in a care home (I am a home care receiver)! It's as close to home regarding my deep trauma, as I will likely ever find in a movie. Two incredible friends (DisMoviePod & Adam) watched with me, or I would never have been able to make myself do it. But I am so…

Finding Nemo 2003
Finding Nemo I swear has more disability representation every time I watch it! 😆 This time I watched specifically to review from that pov & wow! This really is one of the defining & best dis rep movies I know of because it's so full of disabled characters & expertly teaches about ableism, disablism & disability, as well as acceptance of those different from yourself - all in a way accessible to even children! Yet most people don't really think of it as disability…

Elevation 2024
You know what, I had fun with this one. The actors are decent (I've loved Morena Baccarin since Firefly, like any good geek would!), the story is in my wheelhouse (however ludicrous), they kept it tight so it didn't get boring. A nice little creature feature to wile away the witching hour.

How to Blow Up a Pipeline 2022
This was a gruelling watch for this age, anxiety and depression flaring, both. What a world we live in, that we can watch this and have to genuinely ask ourselves the very same moral questions this movie poses.
How do we crawl out from under the rich who control our future? How much, and what kind of action is too much? Is destruction valid? Is the collateral damage justifiable? Will it really create the change that's needed? Are there better ways? What the hell are those better ways? How much more can we take?I sure don't have any of the answers.

La Palma 2024
One of the better disaster mini-series I've watched! More thoughtful and character-driven than most, building the story carefully, and giving us reason to care for the characters. Tons of tension, decent CGI, and good LGBT rep to boot! Some light and slightly tropey autism rep, but not offensive to me, as an autistic person. This was a family who allowed and loved their autistic kid to just be himself! It was a nice change, tbh.
Like basically all disaster media,…

Nimona 2023
Couldn't resist trying Nimona tonight, even though I'd realised it was gonna be one I'd wanna co-watch with my group! I thought I'd enjoy it, but I was not prepared for this gloriously queer, trans, disability centered story, all about people who just don't fit! 🥺 I wrote this review on the fly! 👇

I love so many levels of this. The powerfully, (at times painfully) wrought trans analogy…Translated from by
