@sarahminaosman.bsky.social writes that #Netflix’s raunchy comedy "Little Brother" gives comedian #ericandre some room to flail, but there’s not enough weirdness to fully unleash his chaotic brilliance. artsfuse.org/330873/film-...

For @sarahminaosman.bsky.social, the fantastic #tatianamaslany anchors Apple TV's "Maximum Pleasure Guaranteed" -- a cluttered but compulsively watchable thriller about cam culture, murder, and a very stressed-out mom. artsfuse.org/329070/telev...

@sarahminaosman.bsky.social really enjoyed HBO's visually stunning adaptation "Song of the Samurai” -- it blends historical grit with balletic fight choreography, elevating the live-action anime genre. artsfuse.org/328961/telev...

@sarahminaosman.bsky.social writes that a remarkable young cast anchors Netflix’s #lordoftheflies, a haunting adaptation of the William Golding's 1954 novel that resonates sharply with today’s anxieties about masculinity and violence. artsfuse.org/328548/telev...

@sarahminaosman.bsky.social thinks "Margo’s Got Money Troubles" is a sharp, locally grounded dramedy that captures the contradictions of suburban Southern California — and the steep cost of survival for young women. The show stars #michellepfeiffer and #ElleFanning artsfuse.org/327628/telev...

@sarahminaosman.bsky.social on "Malcolm in the Middle: Life’s Still Unfair A surprisingly heartfelt reboot that revives the show’s chaotic charm, even if some of the family sparks are missing. artsfuse.org/327432/telev...

@sarahminaosman.bsky.social on the final season of #hacks, one of the best sitcoms in recent years.

@sarahminaosman.bsky.social writes that the Prime Video series Jury Duty: Company Retreat is an amusing lampoon with an economic message: it is is pro-small business and anti-private equity. artsfuse.org/326295/telev...

@sarahminaosman.bsky.social writes that, while each female protagonist makes some rough decisions, the satisfying Apple TV soap "Imperfect Women" never pigeonholes them as villains or saints. artsfuse.org/325986/telev...

@sarahminaosman.bsky.social on #Pixar's latest animation, "Hoppers": the film's climax is a valuable reminder that none of us — from mammal to ant — are safe from the fury of a Mother Nature we have badly wronged. artsfuse.org/325348/film-...?

For @sarahminaosman.bsky.social, the ratio between fantasy and real life felt off in this uneven film version of Kander and Ebb’s 1990 musical, though #JenniferLopez and #Tonatiuh shine. artsfuse.org/324033/film-...

@sarahminaosman.bsky.social on "The Doctors’ Riot of 1788": For all the book's rewards as a gross-out experience, the study has an ethical question at its core: does the search for medical knowledge outweigh our respect for human life and death? artsfuse.org/323221/book-...

@sarahminaosman.bsky.social writes that #Twinless is by far the most surprising film she's seen in a long time. Director and writer #JamesSweeney takes viewers on a memorable emotional roller coaster ride. artsfuse.org/322993/film-...

For @sarahminaosman.bsky.social, the problem is that, as the #EternityMovie goes on, the film starts to feel as if it is taking an eternity. artsfuse.org/321450/film-...

@sarahminaosman.bsky.social on #Netflix's "Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery": This well-done whodunit supplies an insightful look at how money, politics, and religion have become intertwined—and where that may be taking us. artsfuse.org/321229/film-...

@sarahminaosman.bsky.social writes that "Wicked: For Good "has its faults, but it still stands out as one of the stronger adaptations of a musical to film. artsfuse.org/320647/film-...

HBO Max's "The Seduction" is visually stunning but, even though it is the magnificently clothed French aristocracy, @sarahminaosman.bsky.social writes that it all comes down to unremarkable people behaving badly. artsfuse.org/320332/telev...?

For @sarahminaosman.bsky.social, Peacock TV's #stumble is a welcome addition to the increasingly tired mockumentary genre. artsfuse.org/320230/telev...

Part #superstore and part #theoffice," writes @sarahminaosman.bsky.social, there’s nothing inherently wrong with the #CBS sitcom #DMV. But there’s nothing all that remarkable about it either. artsfuse.org/319180/telev...

While not without its flaws, the @netflix.com series #TheNewForce proves that traditional TV cop drama can be given a new spin, and @sarahminaosman.bsky.social says it is especially gratifying when the innovation involves kick-ass women. artsfuse.org/318318/telev...

@sarahminaosman.bsky.social writes that #thepaper is a light, diverting show, well-suited as background fodder, but unlikely to garner the same following as "The Office" or "Parks and Recreation." artsfuse.org/316563/telev...

@sarahminaosman.bsky.social writes that, In terms of legacy film sequels, #AdamSandler's #happygilmore2 one isn’t a hole-in-one, but it doesn’t roll into a sand trap either. #Netflix artsfuse.org/314616/telev...

@sarahminaosman.bsky.social on #LenaDunham's new @netflix.com series "Too Much." Dunham is not known for modulation — and there’s a good chance that the series’ swings from comedy to tragedy are indeed going to become too much. artsfuse.org/313983/telev...

@sarahminaosman.bsky.social on the entertaining "Back to the Frontier" #HBOMax. The series isn’t a competition, but the families have been given a challenge: to gather enough resources to survive a winter in the 1880s. artsfuse.org/313810/telev...

What the Popeyes person sees for ten minutes straight while I wait for spicy

There are nearly 100,000 people at the rally in Philadelphia. #NoKings

Look at downtown LA right now

this is the best one imo

Is it just me, or has Sean William Scott never been cast as a somewhat normal person? Him and Walton Goggins 😅 correct me if I’m wrong! #righteousgemstones

@sarahminaosman.bsky.social writes that, given the current state of the world, we need more shows like @netflix.com 's "North of North" that not only entertain, but reflect the importance of community. artsfuse.org/308945/telev...

@sarahminaosman.bsky.social on "The Summer I Ate the Rich". Despite its title, this YA novel would be best described as an exercise in magic realist satire. Those looking for heaping helpings of the affluent will be disappointed. @fsgbooks.bsky.social artsfuse.org/308884/ya-bo...

@sarahminaosman.bsky.social writes that this Netflix series is a wittier, sassier, Spanish version of #Bridgerton. artsfuse.org/308629/telev...

Also…I wouldn’t mess with penguins

Now how you gonna tariff penguins?

@sarahminaosman.bsky.social on #AppleTV's series "The Studio". The current state of Hollywood — terminal banality — is concerning. But that’s what makes it so perfect for Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg's dose of acidic satire. artsfuse.org/307965/telev...

@sarahminaosman.bsky.social writes that the fourth and final season of Danny McBride’s demented satire of evangelical mega-churches, "The Righteous Gemstones," comes to a satisfying conclusion. #HBO artsfuse.org/307308/telev...

“Everybody’s family in America came from a different country” “I’m part Cherokee!” Ha. I see what you did there Luck of the Irish

Anyone else notice Luck of the Irish has a weirdly David Lynch opening?

With its fabulous ’50s costumes and visceral wrestling scenes, the film "Queen of the Ring" is a blast from the past, writes @sarahminaosman.bsky.social artsfuse.org/307194/film-...

I really want to read The Sassy Wizard Kid #abbottelementary

Ava Reid's YA novel on techno-fascism, “Fable for the End of the World,” reflects our own uncertain condition, writes @sarahminaosman.bsky.social. There are possibilities unknown, alternatives that even would-be godlings like #elonmusk and his ilk have not accounted for. artsfuse.org/305173/book-...

Hurray Anora!! Hurray for independent film! I’ve been a huge Sean Baker fan for a while, so this is great to see! #theoscars

No Other Land just won an Oscar without US distribution. Absolutely legendary for them, this film and its message. The most important award of this year, hands down.
