  • Skin Deep, or, In Space No One Can See You Step On A Rake With A Bucket On Your Head

    Early impressions of the brilliant first person stealth slapstick game by Blendo Games

  • Bucky With the Bad Hair (One Thing I Like About Thunderbolts*)

    Thunderbolts* manages to be a strong counterpoint to superhero fatigue, by being even more like a comic book (no spoilers)

  • One Thing I Guess I Like About Bodies Bodies Bodies

    Sometimes a movie is not made for me and that’s a good thing. Lots of spoilers.

  • Literacy 2025: Book 14: 20th Century Ghosts

    Joe Hill’s short story collection shows off his considerable talent and range

  • One Thing I Like About Until Dawn

    Until Dawn is a collection of b-movie horror moments loosely structured around a video game, and it’s at its strongest when it leans into that. (Some spoilers after a warning)

  • One Thing I Like About The Ballad of Wallis Island

    Tom Basden and Tim Key’s story of lost loves and forced reunions manages to charm its way through in the end

  • Pick Poor Robin Clean (One More Thing I Love About Sinners)

    There’s one scene in Sinners that seems to be played for a laugh, but it’s packed with meaning that ripples throughout the entire movie. Long post with lots of spoilers.

  • One Thing I Like About Drop

    Drop places itself in the long history of high-concept suspense thrillers, then makes a reasonably convincing argument that it belongs there

  • One Thing I Love About Sinners

    The experience of watching Ryan Coogler’s Sinners in IMAX is why cinema exists in the first place

  • Blue Prince, or, Betrayal at House of Leaves

    My take on the brilliant roguelike exploration puzzle house-building story adventure game Blue Prince

  • Look Back With Creepy Eyes

    My experience on the Apple Vision Pro after a year

  • Tuesday Tune Two-Fer: Songs For and/or About The Earth

    Prompted by a new release from Dirty Projectors (kind of), presenting the extents of my awareness of modern symphonic music
