Every doc in this batch is sitting at 88% or higher on Rotten Tomatoes, and the stories range from Beckham to the Murdochs to the Ukrainian revolution. This is the sweet spot of the list. And know that if you are watching these as we go, you are joining me on this journey too. I’ve seen maybe 30% of these already – and I’m watching the ones I haven’t seen yet, and I’m having […]

So remember at the end of my Invite writeup when I said I was going to watch every single adaptation of this play that exists? Yeah, welp, so now, a project of mine for the next month is well underway. Well, I started doing the homework, and it turns out the assignment is way bigger than I thought it was. I figured there were maybe seven(?) versions of this thing floating around the world. There might actually be closer […]

Granted, generally they are more mindjobby than hilarious. More mind-fucks than intense life dramas. But still, I love a fantastically scripted closed box flick. Take for example the movie The Humans. That is 100% in this same veing… well, until it isn’t of course. Or 10×10, or Hippopotamus? Or or or or… Faults anyone? Hell! Or Tape?!? Or for the love of all that is good and holy?? Sanctuary? Huh? What about Sanctuary? Or […]

And before that — if you somehow haven’t already — go watch Kane Parsons’ original Backrooms YouTube series from the beginning. Not a recap video, not a “best moments” compilation. The actual thing, on his channel. The feature is a genuinely great expansion of what he built, but it’s built on top of that nine-minute short and everything he […]
