I’m kind of shocked to see that I never actually ended up writing anything about last year’s Little Women adaptation from Greta Gerwig. I saw the movie at the tail-end of the year, when everything was a tad chaotic, and it apparently just slipped through the cracks, but I […]
We’re apparently having a spooky week here on Puzzled Pagan Presents. I’m not exactly sure why February and March have become quite so full of horror movie releases, other than the potential idea of programming against the glut of romance movies that come out around Valentine’s Day, […]
Hey, do you all remember a few years ago when Universal Studios decided that they would try their hand at this whole Expanded Universe thing that Disney was making so much money with by creating a series of wildly popular films featuring their classic Monsters? No? You […]
If I’m being honest, I’m still kind of shocked that the Academy gave the Best Picture award to Parasite. Of the films nominated I do think that Parasite was the clear best of the bunch, but the idea that the Academy would give their highest honor to a South Korean film […]

Nobody has the time to watch everything, and as a result a lot of stuff just kind of slips through the cracks. Especially if it’s not something that just doesn’t generally match up with your preferences. Which, sometimes ends up making it so that you miss out […]
