Can’t stop thinking about John Emdall in Buckaroo Banzai

Barely in the movie and yet what we know indicates she’s the most powerful person, a black woman, president of a whole planet, overthrew a brutal dictatorship, in charge of what is hands down the most advanced technology in the movie. That’s… interesting to me.

In North Africa in 203 CE, two young women, Felicity and Perpetua, were martyred side-by-side. Both had left conventional, patriarchal family structures to seek a chosen family among the nascent Christian community. They have gone on to become known as the patron saints of same-sex couples, and serve as a source of inspiration for queer Christians, especially queer women of colour.

We made a podcast on them if you’d like to hear more!

I wanna talk about some of my ideas, but I also don't want to give things away because I don't want to ruin the discovery via storytelling!

Diahann Carroll as Norma Desmond in Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Sunset Boulevard, photographed during the landmark Canadian production at Toronto’s Ford Centre for the Performing Arts, where she starred from October 1995 through August 1996 before the production transferred to Vancouver for an additional run into 1997. Carroll brought a uniquely glamorous and world-weary elegance to Norma, draped in opulent beaded gowns, sculptural turbans, satin caftans, and jewel-toned costumes that emphasized the faded silent-screen grandeur at the heart of the role. Her performance marked one of the first major productions of Sunset Boulevard to feature a Black actress as Norma Desmond, and became a celebrated chapter in the musical’s international history.

She is probably best known as friend, confidant–and in some cases, girlfriend–to legends like James Brown, Little Willie John, Sam Cooke, and perhaps most notably, Jimi Hendrix (it is believed that several Hendrix songs are about her, including “Foxy Lady”). She was also Etta James’ best friend. 

However, Lithofayne Pridgon is also a singer/songwriter. You can hear some of her recordings on YouTube (link below).

Meet the crew ...

Andrei Dalca is a rumpled, soft-spoken engineer who once believed humanity had outgrown war — until the Tranquility attack nearly killed his son. Now he’s helping build something powerful enough to protect the future, even as he fears he’s becoming complicit in the very forces he’s spent his life warning against.

Vera “Fishcakes” Lam is a feral, sharp-eyed Martian orphan who looks like a kid but moves like a blade. Torn from her parents during Mars’s first great betrayal and raised among the Moon’s forgotten children, she learned early that survival isn’t about safety... it’s about choosing her own freedom.

Lachesis “Kiki” Davis has built a name on charm and nerve. With a rare-metal asteroid to her name, she’s fielding offers from across the system and leaning into the thrill while it lasts.

Project Daedalus: build a spaceborne first-response defense platform capable of intercepting any Martian threat before it reaches Earth space.
