Cesar Romero: The Joker Is Wild Author Samuel Garza Bernstein

Watch movies like Deep Waters and The Devil is a Woman to see his range and humanity in roles.
Cesar Romero: The Joker Is Wild Author Samuel Garza Bernstein
Q: What made you decide to go into biography?
I realized nobody had ever written about Cesar Romero, and I found his life to be fascinating.
Talking Melodrama with Millie De Chirico
Q: What made you start using the word melodrama?
The term was internalized from watching soap operas with my mother, where it was often used pejoratively, prompting my interest in the broader implications of melodrama in film.
Talking Melodrama with Millie De Chirico
Q: What is your view of melodrama and how do you come to the conclusion that a film is a melodrama?
Melodrama involves a feminized aspect that connects emotional struggles, particularly women's fears of loss. This allows films from various genres, including horror, to be recognized as melodramatic.
Corpses Fools and Monsters: The History and Future of Transness in Cinema co-author Willow Catelyn Maclay
Q: How do you view the relationship between social media and trans representation?
Social media has made it more likely for people to have contact with trans individuals and influences how transness operates on screen.
