'The Legend of Tarzan' Took a Swing With Alexander Skarsgård – And Missed

Catherine O'Hara is as much of a "good in absolutely everything, no matter how good the thing itself was" actor as Philip Seymour Hoffman.

the stranglehold Catherine O'Hara had on the cultural development of so many people, myself included, from Beetlejuice to Home Alone to Christopher Guest and on and on. we've lost a singular, formidable talent.

Don't expect Sydney Sweeney to discuss her political beliefs anytime soon: The actress says she's 'here to make art' and 'not here to speak on politics.'

this implies that young people were “in love” (gross) with liberalism or any political ideology to begin with. kids only have eloquent political opinions in those annoying tweets from munchausen moms
In @nytopinion.nytimes.com
Younger generations “have fallen out of love with Harry Potter because they have fallen out of love with the worldview the series represents,” writes Louise Perry. “Which is to say that young people have fallen out of love with liberalism.”

RELATED: Any editors want another experienced, reliable freelance writer to cover film/TV/books in the horror space and beyond? Moving is expensive! DM me!
The Great Jackson Real Estate Saga is on the verge of drawing to a close. That's the good news. Bad news is due to moving we're gonna slow down (but not stop!) the podcast for a bit.
Some News:
We're moving! In the coming weeks, Scares That Shaped Us HQ will move to a new home, which means lots of stressful moving stuff! With that in mind, we are temporarily taking the show back to its original, every other week format. We'll resume weekly operations when the move is done.

for this week's column, i finally watched The Electric State, an *insane* movie that uses sentient AI robots as a metaphor for the marginalization & oppression of immigrants, co-opting real-life horrors for AI propaganda.
also Mr. Peanut signs a peace treaty with a deepfake Bill Clinton.
