Wake Up Dead Man, the latest Benoit Blanc Mystery, is out in theaters. From Josh O'Connor's excellent performance to Rian Johnson's questions about faith and the role of a detective, its easily my favorite of the three films so far!

I wrote a bit about Richard Linklater's newest film, Nouvelle Vague, and how its less about Godard and Breathless and more so a tragic reflection on the current state of movies.

Dan Trachtenberg is back for his third Predator film, and this one is his best yet. Killer planet, laser swords, and toxic masculinity all played with the fun and tone of a Saturday morning cartoon. Check out my review of Predator: Badlands

I saw del Toro's Frankenstein and... I really didn't care for it. There's a lot to love and moments that moved me, but its all packaged in a story that removes all complexity in favor of foregone conclusions it never cares to examine.

A football horror movie that goes into the insanity of the sport is something I've always wanted, but HIM is absolutely horrendous and wastes that potential. Here's my review, along with some thoughts on the NFL

Jimmy Fallon had this man on his show last month for a friendly interview.

That happened AFTER Gutfeld suggested conservatives embrace the “Nazi” label.

They are fascists. The mask is off. They’re using Kirk’s death as an excuse and license to be even more open—and even more violent.
absolutely repugnant, gutfeld completely dismisses the assassination of melissa hortman, calls it a "bull shit" example of political violence

I saw the 75th anniversary re-release of Sunset Blvd recently, and I was compelled to write about it as a work of Gothic Horror, in both its style and critique of Hollywood

Current ranking of all the albums I've listened to so far this year. Looking for some recommendations. Want to finish 52 albums I've not heard before, before the end of the year. I've completed 47.

Zach Cregger follows up Barbarian with another unsettling and hilarious horror film, Weapons. One of the few examples of modern horror "about grief" that's actually good and incredibly fun to watch

A couple new releases this weekend about some famous couples.

Alison Brie and Dave Franco shine in a mostly pretty good horror film.

Liam Neeson and Pamela Anderson shine even more in The Naked Gun, the funniest movie I've seen in years

These were always rolled out when the D.A.R.E guys showed up. They always had a least one video they wanted to show as part of their presentation.
Name something you remember watching in this!
