Worrying if black people are gonna die by racism, capitalism, white supremacy and all the other shit we have to deal with in real life? Nope. We get to deal with the fear of regular science fiction — and it is glorious.
Juliet Bashore and Tigr’s approach to this film was revolutionary, but now it would fit right in as The Real Gay Housewives of 1970s San Francisco.

“This is starting to feel pretty gay, Elena.”
