Midnight Texas, IF and Movies to Help Kids with Trauma – Reviews
This week it’s Tamzyn and Clayton taking the reins to guide us through three captivating reviews from the geek-side.
First up, scaling the heights of monster mayhem against a backdrop of melodrama, the team explore Midnight Texas. Prepare for spoiler alerts as they dissect the thousand-year relationship of the town’s gay couple. It seems the charm of this show is during a monster melodrama, themes of found family and the diversity of creatures abound.
Next, our insightful duo shifts their focus to “IF,” a film boasting a star-studded cast and unexpected twists. Tamzyn and Clayton reveal how the trailer may mislead viewers. With moments that tug at the heartstrings with a sprinkle in comedic relief, “IF” transcends age barriers with its blend of animated characters and stellar performances by real actors. Is it possible our hosts even share a bit about their own imaginary friends? Brace yourselves for a film that prompts deep conversations post-viewing.
Lastly, Clayton and Tamzyn sensitively unpack the role of movies in helping children cope with trauma. They explore the extensive list of films tailored to address various traumatic life events for kids, some of which may surprise you. Clayton, donning his teacher’s hat, advocates for age-appropriate movie choices while emphasising the importance of knowing your child’s readiness for different narratives. A highlight is Clayton and Tamzyn delving into the fascinating realm of animal allegories in children’s films.
Enjoy!
