Today, Flamingo, a brand of Harry’s, Inc., whose mission is to champion women, their bodies, and their choices, unveiled the first episode of their all-new podcast, Unruly, produced by Audacy’s Pineapple Street Studios. Hosted by author, curator, and critic Kimberly Drew, the eight-part podcast unpacks how women’s bodies are quietly regulated in facets of everyday life, including through social media, the beauty industry, medicine, and more.
The bodies of all women and those assigned female at birth have always been at the center of cultural conversations, and modern society is no exception. Unruly seeks to redirect the conversation by shedding light on lesser-known ways that women’s bodies are regulated, which often unknowingly influence how women think and feel. Together, Flamingo and Kimberly are examining various topics and tapping experts to educate and empower women to take control of their own narratives throughout different stages of their lives.

Mahershala Ali, the Oscar-winning actor who is set to play the iconic vampire hunter Blade in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, was reportedly ready to leave the project due to creative differences with the studio. According to a recent article from Variety1, Ali was unhappy with the direction of the script, which had Blade as a secondary character in his own movie.
The article claims that one of the early drafts of the script, written by Stacy Osei-Kuffour and Nic Pizzolatto, had Blade as the fourth lead of the film, behind three new characters who were supposed to be his allies.

Sweden’s Göteborg Film Festival returned this month after two pandemic-disrupted editions with an accomplished crop of urgent and highly-political competition titles.
On opening night, there was Abbe Hassan’s Exodus, a tender thriller about the lives of refugees in Europe, while Malou Reymann’s Unruly, the eventual winner of the festival’s Dragon Award, uncovers the dark history of institutionalization and women’s rights in Denmark.
Out of the nine films in the main Nordic competition, six dealt directly or indirectly with issues around class, race, gender, and the role they play in a specifically Nordic construction of power; however, none more potent than Frederikke Aspöck’s scorching colonial satire Empire.
Set in 1848 on the Caribbean island of St. Croix, now part of the U.S. Virgin Islands but then a central post of the expanding Danish empire, the pic follows two close friends: Anna Heegaard and Petrine.
