Welcome to Media Magpies

We did it! Welcome to Media Magpies!

The lore is long and complicated. We’ll talk about it some night before the fire with a soothing beverage in hand. For now, know this. We are a pop culture collective. We have a bunch of voices and a bunch of perspectives. We hope you enjoy it all.

As time goes by, our writers will be bringing over older articles and writing new ones, so there will be a constant stream of new writing to be seen. Regardless of your interest, we believe you will find something to enjoy here. We have discussion of old favourites, new releases, and what goes on behind the scenes. We’ll be discussing more than just movies, because entertainment is more than just one thing and all of it might turn out to be shiny.

We have a Patreon, and we’d love it if you signed up. Even a free membership would be nice, but higher tiers come with more features even if it’s just something as simple as early access to things. Some of our articles even have bonus content only available there.

We hope our comment section here will form a vibrant community. We can promise it will be well-moderated. The site’s history includes the comments sections of at least three websites, so we understand the importance of keeping a careful look at what’s happening there. We encourage you to participate, unless you’re only here to troll. In which case we encourage you to move along.

Media Magpies is a community welcoming and inclusive of all kinds of people. We stand with the LBGTQ community. We stand with people of color. We stand with immigrants. One of our regular features will be our annual month of Intersectional Femivision, our tribute to works outside the traditional canon as set by the male establishment by people outside the male demographic. That’s at least as important to us as Year of the Month, our monthly look at the works of a given year.

If all of that sounds like your kind of place, Media Magpies is for you, and we hope it is!
