We feel ya, K.

Some convoluted thoughts on how a mind-bending twist on HBO Max’s Peacemaker and late night TV hosts banding together might point the way to resisting America’s growing authoritarianism. https://loom.ly/2PdbkY4

Had a silly time with @claudioalvesdc.bsky.social discussing how The House of the Spirits whitewashes Isabel Allende's novel, the film's lack of authenticity, the epic actressing event of seeing Glenn Close and Meryl Streep share the screen together, and so much more! Give it a listen!

From Laurie to Sienna, the Final Girl has evolved into something mythic—not just a victim who endures, but a warrior who fights destiny. #womeninhorrorwednesday morbidlybeautiful.com/from-survivo...

I relate to 95% of these things. (#31 was a depressing day.)

Based on rave reviews like this one by Chris Azzopardi, 'Griffin in Summer' could be in the running for several of GALECA's Dorian Awards. It's now out on VOD following a quiet theatrical release. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/28/m... @chrisazzopardi.bsky.social

More than 40 media outlets published anti-trans misinformation in the wake of the Charlie Kirk shooting, according to research from @transjournalists.org Here's why that's such a big deal ⬇️ (Video for @xtramagazine.com by me and @cody.boats ) www.tiktok.com/@xtramagazin...

'Jimmy Kimmel Live!' will return to ABC on Tuesday, following a firestorm surrounding host Jimmy Kimmel's comments about Charlie Kirk.

BREAKING: Jimmy Kimmel Live! will return on Tuesday night following a brief suspension. "Last Wednesday, we made the decision to suspend production on the show to avoid further inflaming a tense situation at an emotional moment for our country..."

As Fascism Takes Hold in the U.S., How Will — and Should — the TV Landscape Depict Our Real-Life Horrors? Excellent question from @franklinavenue.bsky.social variety.com/2025/tv/awar...

A website describes an organization with an ambitious scope of LGBTQ2S+ activism, including grants for community organizations and assistance for asylum seekers and refugees. But it's all a scam victimizing people who work to advance queer and trans rights.

Twinless has been awarded the Audience Award from the 2025 CinemaQ Film Festival! And I agree! Thought it was pretty great! #Twinless #DylanOBrien #CinemaQFilmFestival #FilmSky Check out my review: youtube.com/watch?v=Dm9ElU…

I'm back at @vulture.com recapping Love Is Blind: UK! This season we have: A "human design coach"; a single who absolutely chooses the wrong guy from her love triangle; and a couple so cute that *I* might have to start writing their names in my notebook. 💙 www.vulture.com/article/love...

Here it is: the final #AndJustLikeThat recap. Prepare yourselves for some real tonal whiplash at the end!

#Peacemaker season 2 is a big upgrade on s1. It’s not as funny, but the character work is way stronger. It really stands apart as something different and special in the current superhero storytelling landscape. This show has no right working as well as it does. Plus Chris is bi?

Chicago folks! I'm trying to link up with da baddest authors, editors, critics, journalists, and writers in the chi while patio season is still in season, because I am not built for the winter. We all can't be homebodies, so where are we?

The next 'Suits'? The new take on John Grisham's #TheRainmaker, marking USA net's return to flashy dramas, fits for @matthewcreith.bsky.social @thewrap.com. That cast (John Slattery! Lana Parrilla! Wade Briggs of 'Please Like Me'?!) sizzles. REVIEW: x.com/TheWrap/stat...

Last Week Tonight's John Oliver piled on Dean Cain during his telecast after the actor announced earlier this week he would be joining ICE.

I'm just crazy about INTRUDER.

For an upcoming Substack post, what’s a TV show or movie you never get tired of watching and why? One of mine is 9 TO 5!

"Weapons" is a bold, twisted, genre-bending ride—parts mystery, dark comedy, and nightmare fuel—with a killer setup and an explosive finale. morbidlybeautiful.com/movie-night-...

Finally wrangled my thoughts and reviewed WEAPONS. Zack Cregger loves him some hagsploitation but Amy Madigan is impeccable. The rest is....you can read it in the review at The Film Maven now. thefilmmaven.substack.com/p/weapons-re...

WEAPONS hides serious flaws behind its masterful style and striking performances. But it's hard to explain without getting into the second half of the film, and we're not supposed to describe that much plot before it's out. My spoiler-free review is here. The spoiler version arrives this weekend!

I'm sharing my Weapons review now because I will definitely forget amid the mad festival prep, but please read it after seeing it. Go in blind, watch on a huge screen in pitch black, save this post, and come back. Let's discuss. filmhounds.co.uk/2025/08/weap...

I know theatrical comedies are supposedly “dead” but maybe there’s pent up demand? I won’t be surprised if #NakedGun over-performs this lowball prediction: variety.com/2025/film/bo...

Rod Serling and team gave us all sorts of Easter eggs, didn't they?

Former Vice President Kamala Harris will have a memoir on her historic presidential run. The book is called “107 Days,” the length of her abbreviated campaign, and will be published by Simon & Schuster on Sept. 23.

Oh wow the fake version of The Wizard of Oz they're showing at the Sphere in Las Vegas is so much worse than I thought -- look at how degraded the AI version of Judy is! And they're advertising these images like they're improvements. Just dig up her corpse and give her more pills while you're at it

The Naked Gun brings Police Squad into the 21st century with a laugh-out-loud reboot from the director and writers of Chip ’n Dale: Rescue Rangers.

#TheBadGuys2 is a vast improvement on its predecessor, advancing its tone and set pieces to deliver a visually stunning and buoyant action sequel that leaves you feeling so good. My review here: rendyreviews.com/movie-review...
