In addition to her Collider pursuits, she is also the Managing Editor of The Geeky Waffle, and co-hosts podcasts on their network. She is also a graduate of the Second City Training Center sketch writing program, and holds a certificate in Producing from UCLA. She is fluent in French and Farsi, and conversational in Spanish. She has a Bachelor's degree from the University of Toronto in English Literature and Cinema Studies (with some Classics thrown in "for fun"), and a Master's degree from the University of Geneva in Specialized Translation. While she has always wanted to work as a full-time writer, Arezou's educational background is a little more wide-reaching. Arezou loves getting the opportunity to conduct interviews for Collider, including with Andy Samberg, Ming-Na Wen, Succession's Arian Moayed, and Ewan McGregor (her first ever interview for the site!). She is also an avid champion of Iranians working in the film and television industry. On the movie side, Arezou loves a good romantic comedy, from classics like French Kiss and The Holidayto more recent ones like The Lost City(yes, it counts) and the Turkish-language Love Tactics, as well as every single one of those Hallmark holiday movies. Her TV interests are wide-ranging, with recent favorites including Bridgerton, the live-action One Piece, and Vikings: Valhalla. She has a wide-ranging knowledge of movies and TV, which means she almost certainly will start quoting something mid-conversation.Īrezou is passionate about Star Wars, particularly Obi-Wan Kenobi, Fennec Shand, and the Sequel Trilogy. It's not all or nothing, but evolves as the story progresses and as their lives begin to change and redefine.Īrezou is a writer and news editor for Collider. It feels dynamic like so many real friendships are. But at the heart of it all, it is the well-meaning friendship between the entire Riverdale gang that is the strongest part of the story. Theirs is such a sweet, supportive relationship that it makes Archie's indecisiveness that much more frustrating in comparison. Dilton and Reggie are both given surprisingly thoughtful arcs while Moose ( Rudra Mahuvarkar) and Midge ( Santana Roach) only appear briefly. A 2016 issue of Jugheadrevealed that the character is asexual, and while that is never explicitly stated in The Archies, that reading of the character is never refuted either. As in the comics, Ethel nurses an unrequited crush on Jughead, but unlike other adaptations, Jughead doesn't seem all that interested in a relationship at all. Of course, theirs is not the only relationship that forms the heart of the story. On a final note on the subject, ladies, it's been 81 years. Fortunately, he's the only one who seems to dwell on it, as even Betty and Veronica have better things to do half the time. For a film that breezes through its nearly 2.5-hour runtime, Archie's constant insistence that he loves both and cannot possibly choose is the only part that drags. The issue is the love triangle starts early, and it goes on for most of the movie, entwining itself into the gang's other interpersonal drama. Granted, had this element not been present at all, it would have felt like something was missing. If the movie has one weakness, it's with one of the oldest pillars of the Archie comics, namely Archie's complete inability to decide between girl-next-door Betty and the glamorous Veronica.
