I reviewed SPIDER-NOIR, which embraces its gimmick to become a wildly fun love letter to film noir. Li Jun Li should be in everything. Nic Cage curls up like a dead spider at one point. A pulpy blast www.inverse.com/entertainmen...

I spoke to Ildikó Enyedi, Tony Leung, and neuroscientist Anil Seth about whether we can really talk to plants, as Enyedi's gorgeous, mesmerizing drama suggests. The answer: maybe. www.inverse.com/entertainmen...

As many of us feared, THE MANDALORIAN AND GROGU is basically “Glup Shitto: The Movie.” We need to stop Star Wars fans who have made the cantina scene their entire personalities www.inverse.com/entertainmen...

THE PUNISHER: ONE LAST KILL is interesting in parts, namely in its surreal swings and that part when it becomes THE RAID, but its plot is way too nonexistent to make an impact. Still at least we got another Kastle moment!! www.inverse.com/entertainmen...

Interviewed David Lowery about MOTHER MARY’s ghost story, POSSESSION inspirations, and how he considers this his first true-blue horror film! www.inverse.com/entertainmen...

Charles Melton is the standout in the most WHITE LOTUS-lite season of BEEF, which stuffs itself with A-list stars and prestige-TV turns, which still pales in comparison to the lightning in a bottle that was season 1: www.inverse.com/entertainmen...

“They fall in love really, I think.” I interviewed Ian McKellen (who was lovely!!) and Michaela Coel for THE CHRISTOPHERS! www.inverse.com/entertainmen...

while everyone was talking about AI, the space race was making a comeback at SXSW. my report: www.inverse.com/science/sxsw...

A round-up of some of the smaller films I saw at #SXSW: ANIMA (meh!), THE SAVIORS (bad!), and SPARKS (good!) www.inverse.com/entertainmen...

DAREDEVIL: BORN AGAIN Season 2 is a par for the course for a DAREDEVIL season: a rough start before it finally gets good in the latter half. Occasionally thrilling, often frustrating: www.inverse.com/entertainmen...

HOKUM is a terrifying, witchy horror movie and my favorite movie I saw at #SXSW. Old-fashioned, well-crafted horror at its best www.inverse.com/entertainmen...

I reviewed OVER YOUR DEAD BODY at #SXSW, which unfortunately feels mismatched in almost every way: www.inverse.com/entertainmen...

I thought NORMAL was fine! Ben Wheatley and Bob Odenkirk elevate a really shaky script that has one character saying "I thought this town was normal! It's not normal." www.inverse.com/entertainmen...

what HT said! i'm sure it'll still be good at home, but this movie played GREAT to a crowd

MIKE & NICK & NICK & ALICE is the kind of madcap time-travel romp that would KILL in the theater so it’s going to be a real shame most people will half-watch it when it hits Hulu next week. They will miss James Marsden being the hottest he’s ever been www.inverse.com/entertainmen...

I chatted with the directors of THE AI DOC: OR HOW I BECAME AN APOCALOPTOMIST (premiering today at SXSW!) about making an AI doc in a time when the tech is rapidly changing: www.inverse.com/entertainmen...

I LOVE BOOSTERS is Boots Riley’s brand of absurdist maximalism taken to the extreme. An anti-capitalist creed that is dripping, nay, sopping with style and Boots’ trademark surreal touches. Laughed SO much during this one #SXSW2026

I reviewed UNDERTONE which was scary! Especially in what it doesn’t show www.inverse.com/entertainmen...

PROJECT HAIL MARY is pure popcorn cinema — spectacular and moving, even if it’s clear that it doesn’t really care about the science that made its source material a hit. But who cares when you have Best Boy Rocky?? www.inverse.com/entertainmen...

THE BRIDE! is a mess! www.inverse.com/entertainmen...

REDUX REDUX is out in (very) limited theaters but I interviewed the McManus brothers about their terrific multiversal twist on the revenge thriller www.inverse.com/entertainmen...

Not included in my Dan Trachtenberg interview: the two of us reminiscing about TERRACE HOUSE and him recommending I watch a show called OFFLINE LOVE www.inverse.com/entertainmen...

I might be one of the few who didn’t mind HOW TO MAKE A KILLING even if I think it undercuts its own satire by trying to reach for some kind of moral catharsis www.inverse.com/entertainmen...

If you see the hypnotizing, electric SIRAT this weekend, go in knowing as little as possible: www.inverse.com/entertainmen...

ZI: Kogonada continues his big bold beautiful journey with something much smaller and humbler. A dreamy wisp of a movie, ZI is a fascinating experiment that still feels like Kogonada is synthesizing his film influences. With ZI, he’s one step closer www.inverse.com/entertainmen...

Very late to the game, but I reviewed ALL YOU NEED IS KILL a dazzling new anime movie that will fill the EDGE OF TOMORROW-shaped hole in your life www.inverse.com/entertainmen...

Our top 50 #movie moments of 2025 conversation continues with @htranbui.bsky.social making the case for #Mission #Impossible The Final Reckoning. Join us on Patreon to hear more! Link in bio.

“How do you create meaning when life feels meaningless?” Interviewed Nia DaCosta on 28 YEARS LATER: THE BONE TEMPLE, and she broke down key parts of the movie with me. First, her insight on the ending & Jimmy vs. Kelson: www.inverse.com/entertainmen...

Reviewed DEAD MAN'S WIRE, aka how Gus Van Sant got his groove back (good movie, don't miss it!) www.inverse.com/entertainmen...

28 YEARS LATER: THE BONE TEMPLE is an even more brutal and heady trip than the first, with a visceral sequence I couldn't believe made it into a mainstream horror release, and Ralph Fiennes offering much-needed levity and austerity. My review: www.inverse.com/entertainmen...

Now that EJAE is a Golden Globe winner, resharing my interview with her as Inverse's Scene Stealer of 2025! www.inverse.com/entertainmen...

PRIMAL is back and I interviewed Genndy Tartakovsky about it www.inverse.com/entertainmen...

Ok since you were all asking for it: my top movies of the year, as the #1 JAY KELLY apologist boxd.it/Ra7WE

It’s here, our top TV shows of the year!! @ryancbritt.bsky.social, @lyvie.bsky.social, @thegoodolddais.bsky.social, and I put our heads together to rank the top 25 shows, and we all had the same No. 1 www.inverse.com/entertainmen...

And finally, the list I know you've all been waiting for: Inverse's best movies of 2025! As democratically voted by me, @ryancbritt.bsky.social, @lyvie.bsky.social, and @thegoodolddais.bsky.social (for the most part). Forget the other lists, our is the best! www.inverse.com/entertainmen...

James Cameron does it again. "Avatar: Fire and Ash" is bigger, longer, more unwieldy—and the most enthralling Hollywood blockbuster in years. Stirring spectacle. Wrenching melodrama. Overwhelming beauty. No one’s making old-school religious epics like this www.inverse.com/entertainmen...

I have good news: FALLOUT Season 2 is great. Though I may be biased (every time Walton Goggins was onscreen I was kicking my feet up). But seriously, with more Lucy/Ghoul stuff and more character actors chewing up scenery, you can't really go wrong: www.inverse.com/entertainmen...

I reviewed RESURRECTION, possibly my favorite movie of this year: www.inverse.com/entertainmen...

ntroducing...The Cozy Issue! As we get closer to the holidays, it's time to cozy up with your favorite comfort watch or coziest video game. First up, @lyvie.bsky.social's fantastic interview with Walker Scobell, PERCY JACKSON's hero and our cover star: www.inverse.com/entertainmen...

The only Sora that Disney should be investing in

I chatted with Tim Blake Nelson about his new novel SUPERHERO and he was lovely and showed me the guitar he got off the set of BALLAD OF BUSTER SCRUGGS www.inverse.com/entertainmen...

I was recovering from being the sickest I'd ever been when I went to see MARTY SUPREME. After it, I was SO WIRED that I thought I was cured (I was not)! The second Great American Movie of this year. Kevin O'Leary shockingly good? Timothée Chalamet a GOD. www.inverse.com/entertainmen...

for @inverse.com I ranked the top 15 sci-fi movies and tv shows of 2025, from anti-fascist Star Wars to a miserable woman who has to save the planet and even an underdog Predator, here's the best science fiction of 2025: www.inverse.com/entertainmen...

It’s the 10th anniversary of “Heaven Sent,” not just DOCTOR WHO’s best episode but one of the best TV episodes ever! In another world where Capaldi’s era was not underrated, it’d be on all the “Best TV Episodes” lists www.inverse.com/entertainmen...

THE SECRET AGENT is incredible. A shapeshifter of a movie that defies its political thriller genre trappings, its much more than its (admittedly magnificent) central performance by Wagner Moura. Out now in limited release: www.inverse.com/entertainmen...

I'm always grateful when @htranbui.bsky.social lets me pop up with something new at @inverse.com. It's about that time, so here's my take on the best of 2025's horror crop!

Has anyone had a better year than EJAE? I profiled the singer-songwriter behind the KPOP DEMON HUNTERS mega-hit "Golden" for this year's Inverse Awards! Keep an eye on this space for more great end-of-year pieces. www.inverse.com/entertainmen...

I had a great interview with Edgar Wright, in which we talked about how he consolidated his lighter instincts as a director with a bleak story like THE RUNNING MAN, and the very funny direction he gave Glen Powell for his silly accents: www.inverse.com/entertainmen...

I reviewed DIE MY LOVE, which is very much a showcase for Jennifer Lawrence. But to be fair she is absolutely, devastatingly, tremendous www.inverse.com/entertainmen...

PLURIBUS premieres this Friday!! And Vince Gilligan doesn't want you to know anything about it. I chatted with Gilligan and Rhea Seehorn about why there's so much mystery around their amazing new sci-fi show: www.inverse.com/entertainmen...
