Send us a text How did this film that made an audience uncomfortable back in 1955 become a celebrated film of today? Here on the Screen Queen, you’re about to find out how this movie still thrills people 70 years later. BTW, major apologies for the audio quality, my voice got so scratchy and raspy in some parts. I never noticed how close I had the mike to my face. Many parts had to be lowered so it wouldn’t screech in your ears. Part 1: The film no one was prepared for Part 2: The Vile Villain P...

The Bodyguard

Send us a text We wouldn’t have I Will Always Love You if it wasn’t for The Bodyguard, yet the plot of The Bodyguard seems to have been obscured because of its cheesy appearance.

Part 3: Whitney’s Woes Part 4: The Poster Plan Part 5: The Music of The Bodyguard Part 6: The Last Scene TIME STAMP SKIP –...

Once Upon A Time In Hollywood: A Twist In The Past

Send us a text The Screen Queen Podcast info The movie that tells the tales of Hollywood with the ideas of what Hollywood would have looked like if Sharon Tate lived and if Rick Dalton was the guy that was almost the man in the movies of the past. It’s a twist in time with the tales of Tate and the Manson family, what’s not to love about the sweet sixties, the end of the era. P.S. I will take the fault that I enjoyed putting in many notes of repetition to parts I commentated about, I took a vote...

How Venom Surprised Everyone's Bizarre Expectations

Send us a text If there is one that never fails to make me smile its remembering some of my friends bashing this movie and refusing to do nothing with it, then looking around before whispering "I liked it." I anticipated the movie coming out despite the hate it was given by the census and rotten tomatoes and yet here I am talking about how the critics were wrong about this Marvel movie. Somewhere Sony pictures is like "So you were saying this one wouldn't work because it was owned by us? HA HA" ...

Now That Sounds Like It Would Be A Horror Movie

Send us a text A story is unique and has it's own identity, but that doesn't mean it should be counted out about what it would be like in a different flow of fiction. It's like a pair of shoes, it comes in another color for a reason. Here on the first episode of the Screen Queen I break down the idea that these two comedy movies have a plot that can work for a horror movie once you look at it's plot point and how it doesn't sound all wholesome once you take the original element of its genre out ...

Hi! I'm The Screen Queen, Welcome To The Show

Send us a text I am not royal, (though I am a royal pain and I accept that). I'm one of many people that are fans of the screen. If it wasn't for the stories we see, why I wouldn't be here telling you how much it changed my life to be an author. We choose how we are effected by what we see, what I saw made me appreciate the value of that story. It doesn't matter how that story is told, whether it's a full scale movie, a spectacular Tv show, an amazing anime, a beautiful book, or a vibrant video ...
