‘Things Blowing Up Good’ has been surefire entertainment since the beginning of cinema, but this ill-fated Cinerama extravaganza about the biggest explosion in recorded human history limps along despite some pretty darned impressive volcanic effects. It’s quite an entertaining spectacle, with various good performers in three soap opera plots, either overacting or loitering about with nothing to do. And don’t forget the from-left-field musical striptease.

Web content continues to be the best place for the discovery of diverse voices — and audiences are turning up. Anna Akana has 1.5 million subscribers to her YouTube channel, where she makes scripted advice videos with a humorous appeal. Similar in vibe to Grace Helbig, reigning queen of the “awkward older sister” YouTube genre, Akana, an Asian-American woman, seems much more politically aware. She discusses candidly her struggle with mental health issues (Akana’s sister committed suicide in 2007) and delivers non-judgmental lessons on how to “Check Your Privilege.” Her video “Why Guys Like Asian Girls,” which lambasts so-called “yellow fever,” has 3.4 million views.
The quick-witted Akana writes all of her content, including great one-liners: “The more attractive you are, the more cats a potential partner will tolerate.” Much like her contemporaries Helbig and Hannah Hart (Electro Woman and Dynagirl), she has set her sights on longer narrative content, beginning with the...
