It’s hard to single out the quintessential cult classic horror movie out there, but House is for sure a contender. Helpfully, it’s remained within the realm of “cult classic,” become more well-known in the decades since its 1977 release, sure, but not so well-known that it’s pulled a Blade Runner or The Rocky Horror Picture Show kind of thing and elevated itself from “cult classic” to just an outright/normal classic. House is about a crazy house that forever changes the lives of a group of young women who have the misfortune of staying there. It’s an absolute fever dream of…

Warning! This post contains SPOILERS for Stranger Things season 2, volume 2Stranger Things season 5 is making sure to pay off some major character arcs ahead of the finale, and that includes the beloved relationship between Steve Harrington and Dustin Henderson. Their friendship has long been one of the show’s very best, blending goofball humor, mentorship, and a genuine bond you love to see. That’s why it was so concerning to see their relationship so fractured at the start of Stranger Things season 5. Generated by the brutal fallout of the previous season with the death of Eddie Munson, here’s…

In 2016, David Bowie’s death shook the world like a supernova – a deliberately-staged explosion that collapsed a lifetime of personas into a single, blinding point of closure. Ten years later, with a glut of posthumous Bowie films in tow, the question is no longer what remains to be said, but how it can still be said. The Final Act treats Bowie less as a subject than as a cosmological apparition. Director Jonathan Stiasny is concerned not with revelation but with design – how an artist who spent his career shapeshifting engineered the conditions of his own disappearance. It’s an endeavour he mostly succeeds in. Get more Little White Lies Stiasny frames his…

What is the Micro-Biopic  Trend: The Narrow Lens of Legend The “Micro-Biopic” trend discards the traditional “cradle-to-grave” narrative in favor of a hyper-focused examination of a singular, transformative creative period. By zooming in on a specific two-year window, filmmakers are able to bypass genre clichés and deliver a high-stakes psychological character study. Surgical Scope:  The film strictly covers the 1981–1982 period, centering on the recording of Nebraska  after the exhaustion of…

At this point Avengers: Doomsday is now a full-fledged Marvel Cinematic Universe reunion. It stars and is directed by people who all claimed they were done (done!) with Marvel after 2019’s Avengers: Endgame. Not so much. First Marvel coaxed back Joe and Anthony Russo, the directors of Endgame (and Avengers: Infinity War, Captain America: The Winter Soldier, and Captain America: Civil War) to direct Doomsday, after the project was retooled following Jonathan Majors’ firing. (It turns out Kang’s dynasty wasn’t all that dynastic.) Then they got Robert Downey Jr. to come back and play Doctor Doom, even though Downey’s Iron Man heroically sacrificed himself to save half of the…
