With the Oscars coming up this weekend, we wanted to share this interview that Clint Worthington had with Rafiq Bhatia on the scoring of Oscar-nominated Everything Everywhere All at Once.  The film has received the most nominations at the 95th Academy Awards with 11 Oscar nominations including Best Picture, Best Original Score, and Best Original Song, which Bhatia played a big part in.  Clint Worthington adapted his interview into an article found on our website.

    Tank Girl | Lori Petty Walked so Harley Quinn Could Run

    Join Stargate's Chief Master Sergeant Walter Harriman to learn the ins and outs of the hotseat of the control room in this immersive roleplay and cosplay experience! Tickets and info are available now at www.thecompanion.app/events. Sign up as a member (paid or free) for a discount code! Lori Petty revisits the chaotic cult classic of science fiction's most unruly antiheroine twenty-five years after the film's release.  This article was originally published in March of 2021. Tank Girl was the first true unruly female anti-hero. There hasn’t really been such a powerful, no-holds-barred riotous female character on screen until very recently. Tank Girl walked so Harley Quinn could run. To no one’s surprise, Margot Robbie’s production company has now optioned the rights to make a new Tank Girl adaptation. In Talalay and Petty’s hands, she deviated from the comic books but became her own, unique blend of madness, humor and sexiness. Petty says it best: “She doesn’t need to fit into a system. She’s her own system.” Read the original article here.
