New York City. A veritable melting pot of people, living record of historical events, and... a coven of underground subway witches? Run by different gangs of birds?! The Ravenblack Court is an original Webtoon canvas series created in English by ⁠Adorabirb⁠, comics artist and journalist, and friend of the show! With the manhwa/Webtoon industry growing, more and more original series created in English are being published by these platforms. Want to learn more about how the process works? Dive into this series with us as we discuss historically significant events, how a creator can draw inspiration for their work, and gleam insight on the Webtoon/digital comics industry with someone who has lived it!

Welcome back to Manga Mavericks @ Movies! The show where we don’t just talk smack about movies, we celebrate them! We’re back after (check notes) FOUR YEARS(?!) to talk about the year of film in 2024! It’s been a long time since we’ve done one of these, so you may be wondering why we were so eager to record a podcast about 2024 films than years past. While 2024 was a bad year for most of the world, it was a pretty strong year for entertainment all around, including movies. While it got off to a rough start with movies that didn’t click with audiences and hit at the box office, by the end of the year we got a lot of interesting and entertaining gems that delighted film critics and moviegoing audiences alike. I think that’s why we have an Oscars race this year where you have a lot of films people have seen and are genuinely enthusiastic about, plus Emilia Perez for some reason, and the lack of clear overwhelming favorites like Oppenheimer and Everything, Everywhere, All At Once like the past two years has made the Awards season really competitive, to the point where it’s hard to predict what will win at the Oscars this year, especially in the Best Picture race. Some critics and commentators consider 2024 a weaker year for film than years previous, but personally, this was the most engaged moviegoing year I’ve ever had. This is the first year since I (Lum) started using Letterboxd over a decade ago where I managed to see over 100 movies that came out that year within the year itself! Only time will tell which films will be remembered as part of the canon of great and essential cinema, but as far as I’m concerned, there were plenty of great films that came out in 2024 that I adore and want to explore, so we’re here to discuss them so much more! Vlord and I each count down our Top 10 favorite films from 2024, celebrating the films we enjoyed and resonated with the most. Then, we discuss all the films and categories nominated at the 97th Academy Awards, giving our thoughts on the nominations picked for each category and speculating on who the Academy will pick as winners. As someone who has listened to lots of Oscars-related podcasts over the course of this Awards season, I can guarantee you that you won’t find a longer discussion of the Short Film categories on any other film podcasts! So get listen up and listen good to our thoughts on the best and most awarded movies of 2024 (not necessarily the same) in our nearly 4-hour long podcast that’s probably longer than this year’s Oscars ceremony itself! Enjoy the show, and follow us on twitter at @manga_mavericks, on Blu Sky at @mangamavericks.bsky.social, and subscribe to us on Youtube.
