Happy Pride, everyone! So much love to you all. In celebration, this week the Crit Club has watched 1991’s Young Soul Rebels, a movie that explores various queer and counter cultures in late-70s England. The movie follows two friends who operate a soul music pirate radio station as they deal with tragedy, hatred, ambition, and the realities of an intolerance mainstream. It’s an interesting counterposition to another movie we watched (Jubilee) and a notable depiction of communities that rarely have their stories told. Come listen to what we thought! 

And join us next week for a Wizard Pick™, where we’ll watch the psychedelic looking Liquid Sky from 1982. It’s fresh off of the Criterion Channel’s Synth Collection, and hopefully will be a fun ride. Watch along with us!

You can follow the whole of our podcast, aided by ⁠this helpful spreadsheet⁠ which documents all the scores we gave to the movies we have watched.
