JUST EMILIA - Book Review

3 weeks ago | geekgirlauthority.com | Monita Mohan

Thank you to Regal House Publishing for sending a copy of Just Emilia in exchange for an honest review. TW: ageism, alcohol/alcoholism, car accident, death of a parent, fatphobia, grief, sexual assault, suicidal thoughts. Three women are trapped in an elevator, but soon their confines become the least of their problems in Just Emilia. There’s something connecting teenager Em, middle-aged Emilia, and elderly Millie, which goes beyond the obvious.
Concert Review: MARVEL STUDIOS' INFINITY SAGA CONCERT EXPERIENCE

1 month ago | geekgirlauthority.com | Monita Mohan

On a surprisingly windy summer day in Toronto, Marvel fans came together to experience the Infinity Saga like never before. The Marvel Studios’ Infinity Saga Concert Experience combined select scenes from the Marvel Cinematic Universe with live orchestral music from the franchise to produce an immersive experience unlike a regular movie-going one. The concert was brought to the city by Kashamara Productions, a Canadian-based special events company.
THUNDERBOLTS*: Does the Film Hide an Original Comic Book Member in Plain Sight?

1 month ago | geekgirlauthority.com | Monita Mohan

This article contains spoilers for Thunderbolts*. Thunderbolts* stars a group of anti-heroes and villains who come together to form a super-team of saviors. While the team’s name in the film has comical origins—jokingly named after Yelena Belova’s (Florence Pugh) childhood soccer team—the original comic book team was deadly serious. However, none of the members of the original group of comic characters appear in the film. Or so we thought.
Who Is Bob Reynolds, the Newest Hero Introduced in THUNDERBOLTS*?

1 month ago | geekgirlauthority.com | Monita Mohan

This article contains spoilers for Thunderbolts*. A new hot favorite has landed in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and his name is … Bob. Lewis Pullman plays the latest hero added to the franchise, but he’s even more unlikely a hero than the rest of the team in Thunderbolts*. So, who is this klutzy, insecure and seemingly powerless fella? And what’s his origin story?
Why Did THUNDERBOLTS* Even Bother Including [SPOILER]?

1 month ago | geekgirlauthority.com | Monita Mohan

This article contains spoilers for Thunderbolts*. The writing was on the wall for Taskmaster. The moment Marvel decided to announce the cast of Avengers: Doomsday ahead of the release of Thunderbolts*, we could surmise what Antonia Dreykov’s, aka Taskmaster (Olga Kurylenko), fate was going to be. But I still held out hope that Marvel would surprise us. They didn’t. The brief history we have of Antonia in the Marvel Cinematic Universe is tragic.
Thunderbolts* review: A hilarious and unusual superhero film, but an ensemble it isn’t

1 month ago | bamsmackpow.com | Monita Mohan

A rag-tag group of superheroes bond over their dark pasts and their need to save the world in Thunderbolts*, a film more interested in the emotional wellbeing of its heroes than their combat skills. What happens when a bunch of baddies with red in their ledger get thrown together to save the world? You get Thunderbolts*.
THE UNINVITED - A Movie Review

1 month ago | geekgirlauthority.com | Monita Mohan

I doubt I would have watched The Uninvited of my own volition had I not been, pardon the pun, invited to watch the film. A film that’s a little inside-baseball about American show business, featuring a bunch of crabbity, rich people being … well, rich, is hardly something I’d sign up for. But the premise seemed intriguing, as did the cast, so I thought I’d give it a shot.
Andor Season 2 review: Star Wars has never been this regressive before

2 months ago | bamsmackpow.com | Monita Mohan

The final season of Andor Season 2, the prequel to Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, forgets what made the film special, and that there’s a canon to adhere to. I’ve never sat down to watch a Star Wars property and thought to myself, “what this franchise needs is more intimate partner violence, child marriage, and attempted sexual assault.” All of that is in the Disney+ show, Andor season 2. Somehow, that’s just skimming the surface of how lazy and backward the entire season is.
THE WEDDING BANQUET - Movie Review

2 months ago | geekgirlauthority.com | Monita Mohan

Fire Island director, Andrew Ahn, turns his sights on the classic Ang Lee-directed queer Asian dramedy The Wedding Banquet with his latest film. Updated for the 21st century, the remake focuses on an ensemble of queer characters, led by comedian Bowen Yang and Star Wars actor Kelly Marie Tran. This time around, however, the antics and hijinks are put on the back burner for an intense and confusing ride. In The Wedding Banquet (2025), we follow two couples.
