I actually think the question is irrelevant, mainly because I’m guessing you’ve already seen it. I’m guessing you are here because you were hoping for a little explanation of what it is that you just watched. No? Sure, there were some funny laughs sprinkled in here. And a really really long complicated diatribe about The Gilmore Girls. But by and large, I’m guessing the reason that you are here is simply to understand what […]

I watched Coyote vs. Acme and something about it wouldn’t let go. So I thought about it. And I thought about it… and I decided what I was going to actually do was a full philosophical deep dive, using a Looney Tunes courtroom comedy as the on ramp into Nietzsche, of all people, and this search for meaning inside a life that keeps handing you the […]

WHAT ARE WE DOING HERE?!? This is one of the darkest, and most brilliantly plotted and dark downward spirals I’ve seen in a long time… and I can’t recommend it highly enough.

It’s the new one from Na Hong-jin, the Korean director behind The Wailing, and it’s the most expensive Korean film ever made, and it uses that budget on something genuinely unusual, an alien invasion story told almost […]

Here’s my spoiler free pitch. It’s 2035, a flu pandemic wiped out most of the world, and Jacob Elordi’s character Hig is living out at an abandoned airfield in Erie, Colorado with his dog […]

The Runner, the new Gal Gadot thing on Prime Video, is one of the most baffling pieces of studio filmmaking I have sat through this year, and not in a fun way, in a “who approved this script” way. It currently sits at 9% on Rotten Tomatoes, and honestly I think that’s generous. Brian Tallerico at RogerEbert.com called it “one of […]

Which one of the top ten are your absolute favorite? I’ll reveal mine in my next and final post… but my favorite of this particuar list is The American Experiment.
