JJK Execution overall feels more like a collation as opposed to cohesive narrative. It was cool seeing action scenes on the big screen with highlights from Shibuya incident and preview of Culling Game. Can’t wait to watch in IMAX! #JujutsuKaisenMovie

Wicked: For Good distills the want to be good in all of us and feels like a warm hug. From the costumes to performances, this conclusion is fulfilling and full of emotion. #WickedForGood

In the pursuit of power and acceptance, the spoils are granted to the lovers. Predator boasts decades of rich lore, but Badlands finds its heartbeat in the story through character dynamics and growth. #PredatorBadlands

Shouts to Sony AUS for invite to #TwinlessMovie

Continuing on from what felt like a concluded story, Black Phone 2 has enough new/flashback lore to keep things interesting and returning performances add to the atmosphere. Kids being haunted while investigating noises and mouthing off to adults, I get it lol #BlackPhone2

Ambition fuels HIM but overall messaging is pulled in different directions. However, when observed through the lens of Wayan’s White, an athlete where any peak is never enough and resents the inevitable succession of his career, even the surrealism feels grounded. #HimMovie

Paul Thomas Anderson leans heavy on the elasticity of the fictional setting, and never really commits to the rights of the very groups fighting for the innocuous diluted 'revolution'. A lot to offer visually but not enough to avert from the real world. #OneBattleAfterAnother

Shouts to studiocanal for invite to The Long Walk. We been waiting for this one 😮‍💨

James Gunn has the rare ability to go beyond live-action storytelling rules and embrace the playfulness usually utilised in animation, while being aware of the world around us. Great performances but Mister Terrific & Krypto have our hearts. #Superman

Scanning the horror genre, M3GAN is still processing to form an identity of her own. While there were enhancements in ‘maturity’, the bug for ‘overall tone’ remains. When the story isn’t tethered to real world implications (with overly optimistic ethics) it’s a fun wild ride 💦 #M3GAN2

Realising interviews I requested for Sydney Film Festival are all women 💁🏽‍♀️🥰

Hi, had two SFF interviews today and they both went so well. We got really deep and one mentioned I was the first to reference films they watched making the film. It’s nice to connect and share energy. 🥰

I don’t think I’ve felt as much as I’ve felt watching the first season finale of Big Boys. It is Queer led and my life experiences/emotional journey overlap with the straight white man lol but that’s the beauty of storytelling. Sorting our schedule so we can fit a full review 🤎

Preparing for Bloodlines, first up Final Destination (2000).

Last week I saw the best film of 2025. This week I saw the most tubi Tyler Perry movie. Balance I guess…

De Niro leads another enjoyable Italian American Gangster story with all the cloak and dagger intrigue we’ve come to anticipate. The Alto Knights had dialogue that felt like foreshadowing but mostly didn’t materialise so resulted in old man talking. #TheAltoKnights

UMG said “Dear Aubrey I know you probably thinkin' I wanted to crash your party · But truthfully, I don't have a hatin' bone in my body.” 😈

New to Playboi Carti so will check out the rest of album but my rankings of Kendrick features 💰GOOD CREDIT - GNX was the bat signal to the time Kendrick is on and this Boogie is excited lol 💦 BACKD00R - got that 30 for 30 energy, smooth 🎤 MOJO JOJO - Hype man always

I wish celebrities would stop getting on podcasts and saying dumb sh*t 🫠

Check out our interview with Lady Gaga here!

I nearly walked out of “The Unbreakable Boy”. Its portrayal of autism is one-dimensional, presents the idea that an autistic child is the worst thing that can happen in a marriage, and makes its titular character a supporting player to his unlikable parents. I found this insulting.

This month we have six screenings and a mountain of screeners. We l have three press events pencilled in. While we don’t take ourselves super seriously, we are so serious about how much this pod thing means to us. Shouts to our friends and lovers that being riding for us 🤎

Very excited but also hope this is less like Okja 🫣

Hands down worst speeches of the night: Zoe & Adrien #Oscars

If it’s one thing the FYR household appreciate, it’s filmmakers that are real and raw. Do the Right Thing and Malcolm X were tough films to follow but Bamboozled will continue to get praise from us for years to come. Review on the pod and pull quotes on 🍅 #SpikeLee #Bamboozled #DamonWayans #Jada

If you’re looking for something to watch and someone to chat to - kinda like a film club - I’m watching the Bridget Jones films today. First up Bridget Jones’ Diary (2001). I’ll tell Mark Darcy you said hi hehe 🥰 #NowWatching

2025 is being well rested, respecting the art form and deserving it all ✨

33, great hair and turning water into wine 💃🏽🍷💦 #BirthdayPost
