"Freaks" is one of the most impactful films ever made about humanity's cruelty and the power of solidarity. It tells the story of a beautiful but conniving trapeze artist named Cleopatra who plans to seduce and murder Hans, a circus sideshow performer and a person of short stature, for his inheritance. Director Tod Browning's dark film was a critical and box office failure during its 1932 release because of its unflinching depiction of persons with disabilities, causing it to fade into obscurity for many years.
Today, many critics debate whether or not "Freaks" is an exploitative product of its time or actually sympathetic towards the sideshow characters. It spotlights persons with all sorts of disabilities such as dwarfism (the siblings Harry and Daisy Earles), sacral agenesis (Johnny Eck), conjoined twins (Daisy and Violet Hilton), microcephaly (Schlitzie), and more. Yet at the same time, the film contains terrifying scenes where the...

The end has come for Game of Thrones. Not like any of us are surprised, but there haven’t been many TV shows with finales that were this hyped up, and though it was definitely a bit of a divisive conclusion, it still delivered and left audiences around the world thrilled and with a ton to talk about.
The queen has been dethroned with a knife to the heart by none other than Jon Snow. Bran is now king. Tyrion is still breathing, and Jon finally received some kisses from his direwolf, Ghost. But there’s one loss that Thronies are having some trouble dealing with: the Iron Throne itself.
Yes, in an unexpected (unless you know about those cursed leaked spoilers and couldn’t resist reading them) turn of events, Drogon doesn’t kill Jon for murdering his master. Instead, the mighty dragon directs his fire at the throne...
