  • Tuesday Tune Two-Fer: Every Stroke a Bucketful

    Two tunes in an almost certainly blasphemous pairing inspired by The Wicker Man and Godspell

  • The Wicker Man, or, I Love It When a Plan Comes Together

    The almost-musical folk horror classic is weird and unique and so close to perfect. (Spoilers)

  • The Troubled Teens of Widow’s Bay

    The series that I already loved for being plot- and story-based reveals it’s been character-driven the whole time. (Spoilers)

  • I Wish People Got Fairly Compensated

    The media is telling a fairy tale about scrappy young indies hitting it big, even though the happier ending isn’t even all that fantastic.

  • Masters of the Universe, or, He/Him-Man

    Masters of the Universe is loud and dumb and colorful and doesn’t need to exist. (Spoilers, I guess?)

  • Widow’s Bay 8: Bye-bye

    Recap of episode 8, which perfectly executes on another horror genre while also demonstrating how mystery series should work (Spoilers)

  • Why Mark Duplass, Though?

    A short (I promise) tangent about the Backrooms movie and the ripple effects that result from adapting a story. (Spoilers)

  • One Thing I Like About Backrooms

    Backrooms is like if you explained creepypasta to a production company that didn’t know what it was, and then asked them to make a movie of it

  • Tuesday Tune Two-Fer: Pick-Me Boys And Girls

    Two tunes for a baffling and a little dispiriting primary election

  • Soarin’ Across An Imperfect Union

    Thoughts about Disney’s stab at patriotism for the USA’s 250th, and whether it makes any sense to be celebrating the current version of America

  • Deep Red, or, Butterflies, Termites, and Zebras

    Dario Argento’s giallo classic probably plays well for people who can appreciate style for its own sake

  • The City of the Dead/Horror Hotel, or, Read the room, Nan

    A fun and atmospheric horror movie from the 1960s that might be of interest to fans of Widow’s Bay. (No significant spoilers)
