Well, the world’s in pretty terrible shape, isn’t it? As if living through a generation-defining pandemic wasn’t enough we’ve also gotten the joy of watching America become more open about it becoming a fascist police state as protests around the country are turned into nightmares. And, it’s really hard to figure out what you…

Not to keep beating the same dead horse, but boy are we starved for new movies right now. Obviously there are a whole bunch of more important things going on, but as someone who has historically used the theatrical experience to cope with the stresses of the world, having that get removed, and to…

Have you ever heard about the concept of director jail? Basically it’s the idea that if a director proves to be untrustworthy, either by delivering massive flop or by difficult to work with personally, they kind of lose their personal cache in the industry, and find themselves unable to actually make any more…

A couple years ago I had the pleasure of checking out a weird little indie movie that I hadn’t heard much about, and have it absolutely blow me away. Cory Finley’s directorial debut, Thoroughbreds was a movie that hit me like a ton of bricks, and ended up becoming one of my favorite films of…

As I’m sure anyone reading this right now is aware, things aren’t great in the world. A global pandemic has basically shut down society to a degree that we’ve never experienced before, and it’s causing some pretty dramatic changes to people’s lives. And, while this is obviously a trivial aspect compared to the larger…

I’ve heard it said that people who have a talent for creating comedy have a natural proclivity towards also making horror. The idea being that both genres are heavily indebted towards timing, something that can be very hard to master. So, if you end up finding yourself as someone who can successfully pull off…
