The Screen Queen

Send us Fan Mail Mental health warning: Mentions of depression and self-sabotage.  A ninja anime that's not Naruto? Nabari No Ou existed in an age of anime I grew up with a teenager. I still have the books that I have read cover to cover. It's a miracle the pages are still INTACT.  It's an obscure anime that feels like a gem, but why would it be a gem? That's what I'm here...

Send us Fan Mail Oh my god, of all the anime titles to start out the anime series OF COURSE it would would have to be the movie that got me into Studio Ghibli. It is a crime to not love a film that brought us into a world of fantasy while giving a realistic take on maturity while never losing the imagination. It's my favorite Hayao Miyazaki film and I'll be dishing out the praises to add...

Send us Fan Mail Welcome back, Screen Team! I have a wonderful episode that is going to be different than my usual episodes. This episode was a challenge to see how I could be an interviewer and get some other commentators on the show---and who better than my dear friend Ann Lowe as my first guest as we cover a film that had one of the first few sociopathic kids before we had Kevin McAllister.  Ap...

Send us Fan Mail A certain trailer dropped last week about the long-awaited sequel to one of the greatest horror films ever made.  I'm not the hugest fan of The Exorcist but I have the highest respect to the film's legacy and the current director folliwing the coat tails to give us new thrills from a timeless terror tale.  Are you a fan of The Exorcist? Are you gonna watch it with a defr...

Send us Fan Mail For almost thirty years Pixar had made movies of toys overcoming judgment, fishes learning to take it easy, and superheroes working together and now we have DEATH. Who knew it took a movie about death to make you appreciate life in a way that didn't feel shoehorned? Coco is one of those spectacles that you can see once and never forget again. But what special tactics had to b...

Send us Fan Mail There is something attractive about this movie, just not attractive to rabbits that's for sure! Fatal Attraction has been remade a triple amount of times but everyone still remembers the way Glenn Close terrorized men out of the thought of ever cheating on their wives. On this week's episode of the screen queen, you'll learn the intimate details of this provocative...

Send us Fan Mail Philadelphia...the city of brotherly love and one of the most powerful LGBT movies that broke the stigma about a disease people were misinformed about. For the end of pride month, it has been an honor to talk about one of the films that took the risk to break the stigma once and for all.  Part 1: Intro! Part 2: The REAL story behind Philadelphia Part 3:  Jonathan Demme's work...

Welcome to a different kind of dollhouse as we see Barbie’s world come to life and come crashing down with reality. What’s Barbie gonna do when she finds out, more importantly, what’s Ken gonna wear?! What are your thoughts about the Barbie movie?! Profile pictu...

Send us Fan Mail School’s out for the summer! But let’s face it, we always wanted to be the schools of the 80s. You can’t go wrong with the classics, but Rodney Dangerfield playing a rich freshman is the kind of movie that doesn’t come around that often. There some stuff that aged well…some that just needs to stay in the 80s (I’m looking at that shower scene). On this week’s episode for the screen...

Send us Fan Mail Once Upon A Time…there was a movie buff that loved to share details of stories. Stories about how Christopher Reeve soared in Superman or who was responsible for the song from The Bodyguard. One day in 2022, she had the idea to take her love of movies and TV into a show to be listened to by all the subjects of the world…and it was about damn time!  As you all know, I am your Scree...

Send us Fan Mail Jeff Bridges…Robin Williams…Mr. Noodle? On this week’s episode for The Screen Queen, we are going into one of the most hilarious, heartbreaking, and heightening movies, The Fisher King. The guy who made Monty Python brought everything and the kitchen sink for a movie that still lives in the hearts and minds of those who watched it. It’s an unforgettable movie, but what about it ma...

Send us Fan Mail With the passing of Ray Liotta in 2022, I’ve gotten the chances to see of the legacy he left behind. I went into this film knowing if I didn’t like it, at least I got to see another Ray Liotta movie. This is a sci-fi gem that got buried in the 90s and now’s the chance to show this futuristic sci-fi Shawshank tale. How did this film work and what was the unfortunate irony that ties...

Send us Fan Mail This summer is gonna look a little…batty. Last Voyage of The Demeter is an upcoming fantasy/horror film that’s gonna take us back to an old world of gods and monsters…emphasis on the monster part. Could this be a new change to our horror movies? Are you planning on seeing the terrifying tale of the ill fated crew?   You can find me on my instagram -@thequeenofthescreen (Hit me up...

Send us Fan Mail This episode is all about the jazz to talk about the funny hunny all the way to the cell block tango to see how we both reached for the gun to razzle dazzle em’. Today on The Screen Queen, we’re diving into the first musical that divided a lot of people if musicals were a free Oscar card. Mmm…yes and no, there is a lot to discuss the history behind the music, who would have been i...

Send us Fan Mail Talking about anime live actions is like the same energy of talking about politics…until Alita Battle Angel came along and changed the way people thought about anime live action movies. But this movie was a hit…why does it feel like a miss? It had an all star cast, amazing graphics, and two well known directors that pushed this story more than the others did. What made this film s...

Send us Fan Mail Where would we be if we didn’t have Die Hard? We wouldn’t have Bruce Willis or the future action films of John McTeiernan. But this film was seen as a wild card to play for Fox Studios. There is a lot of history to this film that was originally supposed to be a sequel before it became a stand-alone film. Get that fire hose tied tight around your waist as we jump into the blockbust...

Send us Fan Mail Who knew all it took to make a smart movie was Val Kilmer and a lot of popcorn. Welcome back to the fourth episode on the screen queen where we are going back to the days of the 1980s to see a film that flew under the retro radar. What is the science for the movie and which character was the inspiration for two famous chipmunk characters?  Part 1: Intro (warning scratchy noises…so...

Send us Fan Mail The Birdcage was more than just a remake of a classic, it became a solidified part of the 90s with the themes it tackled. How did everything turn out for the film almost thirty years later, what almost happened to Nathan Lane during the production of the movie? Who was considered gay during the film? And who had to wear a sound blanket because of laughing too hard? Part 1: Intro P...

Send us Fan Mail Cartoon Network had already shown us a superhero fighting evil by moonlight and a character trying to find the dragonballs, but no one was ready for a character run over by car to come back to life as a spirit detective to work with his rival and two demons. Who knew this was the wild card for Cartoon Network. This is my favorite anime of all time and I’ve followed this series fro...

Send us Fan Mail 27 years ago, our favorite actions heroes of the 90s went into a different kind of action…The drag queen scene. This movie was a bit of an oddball choice to see a drag queen movie to be presented in the 90s when Drag Queens and LGBTQ culture was being normalized in the media. You’ll get to hear about the surprise cameos in the film, a history of drag, and a piece of the movie that...

Send us Fan Mail Back in 1989, the world was introduced to a dangerous dirty bar that needed to be cleaned up from a man that came off of a dancing movie that was also dirty. Years later, here we are where people still don’t know if they are supposed to hate this 80s gem or love this 80s gem. As a die-hard fan of the movie I can see different points of the film to why people feel torn about it. Wh...

Send us Fan Mail The talk about the remake of this classic fairy-tale of everyone's favorite fish out of water has been...divisive. So far the reactions have been either negative or people tired of the negative reactions. I have some thoughts about it to share since the trailer dropped. Are you going to see this remake of Disney's first mermaid in theaters? My insta! - @thequeenofthescre...

Send us Fan Mail History was made with how Richard & Mildred Loving won the Supreme Court case in 1967. Loving was the movie we deserved and honestly what the Lovings deserved as well for their love story to be apart of our history for years to come. What was the history of the Lovings before we got the 2016 biotopic? What was the adaptation we got before we got this movie in 2016? Why is this...
