By Melissa Antoinette Garza I was 16 when EMPIRE RECORDS (1995) came out. It’s one of the films that defined the decade. It still packs a punch with me. It’s a mainstream film that reached across the aisle to the cult fandom and did so successfully. It’s the 90s […]

By Melissa Antoinette Garza Unsurprisingly, this movie is my jam. I was born in ‘79 and this was a constant on regular TV in the 80s and 90s. It’s a flick where the fems are fabulous and the celebrated boys are fems. The jock preps are the bad guys […]
