Frankenstein: As always with del Toro, the monsters are never the literal ones. Kindness and understanding are the antidote if only we can fathom it
Frankenstein (2025)
Dr. Victor Frankenstein, a brilliant but egotistical scientist, brings a creature to life in a monstrous experiment that ultimately leads to the undoing of both the creator and his tragic creation.

Wicked: for Good: it’s the second act of Wicked. Hard to fix the problems when you’re starting from that
Wicked: For Good (2025)
As an angry mob rises against the Wicked Witch, Glinda and Elphaba will need to come together one final time. With their singular friendship now the fulcrum of their futures, they will need to truly see each other, with honesty and empathy, if they are to change themselves, and all of Oz, for good.

I hope you’ve already had a chance to watch this speech by Canadian PM Mark Carney. If not please take the time.
This is coming from a former banker–a banker! Be skeptical of predicted disruptions to the status quo. But if things are about to change, this is how it starts.

Wake Up Dead Man: Not as fun as the others in this series, but the most thematically resonant to me. The faint outline of where the cross used to hang at the front of the church nails what this movie is going for

Pluribus Season 1 my god, it’s nice to have Vince Gilligan back in Sci-Fi. Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul are two of the greatest shows ever created, but Gilligan’s sensibilities are served so much better in this genre 📺

Zootopia 2: This series somehow remains thematically sharp despite 8+ years between entries. It’s a good reminder that our problems are deep, but they’re not complicated 🍿
