Attack on Titan Season 4 Episode 9 Review: Brave Volunteers

This Attack on Titan review contains spoilers. Attack on Titan Season 4 Episode 9 “Welcome to Paradis Island…” Attack on Titan’s final season has expertly played with the viewers’ expectations, but “Brave Volunteers” feels like the most atypical episode of what’s been an extremely unpredictable season.  On one level, an episode that’s largely set in the past and is almost entirely designed as an expository device shouldn’t be a very satisfying installment of Attack on Titan. The anime has done episodes like this before, but it actually feels appropriate for it to pump its breaks a little and take stock…

Brave New World Review: Dystopia Fatigue

This Brave New World review contains no spoilers. In Brave New World, the filmmaker character of Helm Watson, played by Hannah John Kamen, laments having to create yet another sequel to her successful feelie series, Pleasure Bomb. “They want more,” she says. “I don’t know more!” Such is the paradox of Peacock having adapted Aldous Huxley’s 1932 novel after years of audiences being subjected to the dystopian stories of The Hunger Games and The 100 among many others. The book was an innovation, satirically criticizing the utopian novels of the time, but the reinterpretation now illogically appears to be derivative…

Brave New World: The Happiness of Bernard and Lenina

“Everybody’s happy now,” is the familiar refrain from Aldous Huxley’s classic novel Brave New World, and the phrase becomes the central irony of the adaptation on the new Peacock streaming service. Two of the main characters who immediately begin to question whether their supposed happiness in New London is truly fulfilling are Bernard Marx, the Alpha Plus counselor played by Harry Lloyd (Legion), and Lenina Crowne, the Beta Plus fertility specialist played by Jessica Brown Findlay (Downton Abbey). We spoke with the pair recently about their characters’ personal journeys as their Utopian existence crumbles during the course of the series.…
