What Lies Beneath, or, People Who Live in Glass Houses Shouldn’t Do Rear Window
Soft-launching Spooktober 2026 with a Dreamworks version of Hitchcock that everybody’s already seen (no spoilers anyway)
Phantasm II, or, BOY, Interrupted
The sequel doesn’t have nearly the nonsensical charm of the original, but it seems like they had fun making it
The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas, or, Smoky Mountains and the Bandit
or, Nothin’ Homo Goin’ On. I’ve spent all these years completely wrong about a heavily-advertised musical from my youth
One Thing I Liked a Lot About Buddy
Buddy is 100% a “children’s show horror movie by the guy who made ‘Too Many Cooks’,” and I have to respect a movie that so relentlessly keeps “yes, and”ing itself. (spoilers)
Presented Without Comment
Camp Miasma, Oak Street, and the eternal struggle of where exactly to position the fourth wall
One Thing I Like About The End of Oak Street
The movie about dinosaurs in the suburbs is a period piece set during a time when I probably would’ve enjoyed this movie.
One Thing I Like About Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma
Jane Schoenbrun’s slasher has so much about it that I love, even if it is a little too meta, like New Nightmare from horror master Wes Craven
One Thing I Love About Spider-Man: Brand New Day
Much of Brand New Day feels like it was made specifically for lifelong fans of the comics, but it still works for those of us who weren’t. (No spoilers but caution advised)
Ghostwatch, or, The Pipes, the Pipes are Calling
The notorious BBC Halloween stunt about a family finding a strange man in their glory hole
Ruining the Mystique of the Coen Brothers
Reconsidering O Brother, Where Art Thou? as an actual adaptation of The Odyssey, instead of just making fun of the audacity of adapting The Odyssey
One Thing I Like About The Odyssey
The thing I like most about The Odyssey is what it shows us about interpretation, adaptation, and the whole idea of “a definitive version.” (Spoilers)
