HBO Max’s queer pirate romcom, Our Flag Means Death, has become a runaway hit. Fans have embraced this diverse cast of pirates as they navigate the Golden Age of Piracy in an absurdist comedy that wrestles with serious issues. The show asks whether it is possible to experience self fulfillment by rejecting an oppressive society that traumatizes people with toxic definitions of masculinity and power.

It will come as no surprise to anyone that there is, and will be more coming, a host of movies, especially horror movies, that have been made centered around the pandemic. The bigger budgeted titles wont be out until next year I’m sure but there’s a whole lot of lower budgeted titles that are releasing as soon as they can. Isolation is one of those films that has been made during the pandemic and during the time of self-isolation and social distancing. Unfortunately any movie like this is going to be compared to the excellent Host and almost definitely come up short.
Isolation does have nine attempts at making things good...
