Oh my god, Prom Pact was so good!!! It’s such a fun romcom that centers a m/f friendship and doesn’t compromise on either the friendship or romances and placed all the relationships as equal importance, whether it be platonic or romantic. Also even though it was only for, like, 30 seconds, I can’t believe they implied that two guys were having sex on Disney Channel. Truly romcom of the year!
Realizing that Disney has been putting out content for me as far as Black girls being dope and adored - Secrets of Sulphur Springs, Z.O.M.B.I.E.S., Prom Pact, and National Treasure: Edge of History gave me things I wanted and not too much things I did not, even when she's in a smaller role like Bree or Latoya Reynolds, that she's clearly got good qualities and gets to have love interests like everybody else, or be a main who gets things done and not in a Black Women Save Us way, but just capable and bold while also being kind like Harper and Tasha.
I'm just thinking about how I do have a few nice things to go back to if I get tired of the typical shady ways Black girls are written a lot of the time. I usually fall back onto Craig of the Creek, and still will, but I do appreciate having some live action wholesomeness.

La ambición es un juego sumamente peligroso… “Pacto De Graduación”
En plena temporada de graduación, la marginada, pero astuta Mandy Yang y su mejor amigo, Ben, están rodeados de extravagantes invitaciones al baile de graduación con temática de la década de 1980.
Sin embargo, Mandy no pierde de vista otro objetivo: el sueño de su vida de ir a Harvard. Cuando se entera de que su admisión ha sido aplazada, está decidida a hacer todo lo posible para salir de la lista de espera, aunque eso signifique pedir ayuda a la persona que aborrece: el popular jugador de baloncesto Graham Lansing, cuyo padre es un poderoso senador y antiguo alumno de Harvard.
Una vez que Mandy se convierte en la tutora de Graham, empieza a darse cuenta de que hay algo más de lo que pensaba en él y quizás, más allá de Harvard, existen otras cosas igual de valiosas.
Estreno: 31 de marzo de 2023 en Disney+.
La película está dirigida por Anya Adams, guionizada por Anthony Lombardo y protagonizada por Peyton Elizabeth Lee, Milo Manheim, Blake Draper, Monique Green, Arica Himmel, Jason Sakaki, Chelah Horsdal, David S. Jung, Wendi McLendon Covey y Margaret Cho.

In 4 seasons of High School Musical the Musical the Series, it’s so hard to pick too five favorite moments. But the scene between Kourtney and Monique is ABSOLUTELY too 5 for me. I loved everything about it and I felt Kourtney fangirling about Monique in front of Monique in my bones.
