Wrote about the delightfully wonderful time loop Hanukkah Hallmark movie, Round and Round, for Letterboxd’s latest! With this, I have made further progress with my slow but committed mission to shoutout as many films starring Dropout cast members as I can

Picked Travis Stevens’ gorgeous 16mm experimental nightmare for Letterboxd Journal’s latest :) An under-seen gem all should check out, maybe especially fans of Josh Ruben. His performance in this is so unexpectedly terrifying and something I haven’t been able to shake for years!!
To honor the hallowed Halloween season, Letterboxd staff and contributors recommend 24 underseen horror films, spanning from ’60s noir witches to ’70s psychedelic vampires to ’80s against-type Colin Firth.

Had a wonderful time diving into the legacy of Clueless over the past 30 years :) Especially glad I was able to highlight the Bollywood film Aisha, another really lovely modern adaptation of Emma
