Say what you will about the Rick and Morty creative team, but they’re not afraid to experiment—even when it seems like the odds are stacked against them. With the main show weathering public controversy and creative turnover, Rick and Morty: The Anime arrives as both a bold reinvention and a gamble. It doesn’t always stick the landing, but there’s something admirable about watching a franchise throw itself into a whole new medium with this much enthusiasm.
Read MoreCelebrity (2025)
In a digital age saturated with clout-chasing and online validation, Celebrity finds something rare: sincerity. Directed by Conner Farias, this sharply edited and emotionally resonant short film turns the lens inward on internet fame, exploring how the pursuit of virality can distort real relationships, until something unexpected brings them back into focus. The story follows Cameron Anderson, a cocky YouTube prankster played with surprising depth by David Rios.
Read MoreBig Mouth: Season 8 (2025)
With its eighth and final season, Big Mouth brings a close to one of television’s most unapologetically outrageous and emotionally earnest animated series. Known for turning puberty into a grotesquely hilarious fever dream, the show doubles down on its signature blend of hormonal chaos, absurdist humor, and surprisingly tender moments. Unfortunately, in its swan song, the balance feels more off than on.
Read MoreFriendship (2024)
Andrew DeYoung’s Friendship, opening in theaters this Friday, May 16th via A24, is a riotous plunge into the deep end of suburban male loneliness, toxic admiration, and the desperate yearning for connection. Led by a career-best performance from Tim Robinson, this film is part cringe comedy, part psychological unraveling, and entirely unforgettable. Robinson plays Craig Waterman, a painfully awkward suburban dad whose life is quietly imploding.
Read MoreThe Wilde Girls (2025)
In The Wilde Girls, director Timothy Hines invites audiences to trade Manhattan high society for the muddy, bug-bitten forests of the Pacific Northwest—and the result is a mostly charming blend of slapstick survival comedy, 1930s flair, and heartfelt growth. With a runtime of 119 minutes, it does run a little long, but if you have an afternoon to spare, this is a delightful and quirky way to spend it. Set in 1932 during the heart of the Great Depression, the film follows New York heiresses Tinsley and Mattie Wilde—two impossibly pampered socialites suddenly cut off from their fortune and thrust into the wild with nothing but a bounty on their heads and a grumpy mountain man named Silas as their reluctant guide.
Read MoreAbbott Elementary: The Complete Third Season (2025) #DVD
Having only seen a few episodes of Abbott Elementary before diving into its third season on DVD, I can confidently say this is one of those rare shows that lifts your mood every time you watch it. Whether you're in it for the razor-sharp wit, the lovable characters, or the subtle but sincere commentary on the state of education, Season 3 continues to deliver on all fronts—and then some. The writing, consistently smart and character-driven, is among the best comedy writing on television since The Office.
Read MoreRuss Meyer’s Motorpsycho and Up! (2025) #BluRay
Severin Films continues its inspired partnership with The Russ Meyer Charitable Trust, this time resurrecting two more fever dreams from the vault of cinema’s most notorious breast-centric auteur. Following the impressive release of The Vixen Trilogy, Severin’s new 4K and Blu-ray box sets of Motorpsycho and Up! are packed with extras, archival features, and fresh restorations that make them essential for longtime fans and newcomers alike. While both films reflect different ends of Meyer’s career, they each stand as bizarrely entertaining entries in his canon of carnality, chaos, and camp.
Read MoreSwamp Dogg Gets His Pool Painted (2024)
Swamp Dogg Gets His Pool Painted is one of those rare documentaries that feels more like a hangout than a historical overview—and that’s largely the point. Like its subject, the cult icon Swamp Dogg, the film is unapologetically loose, unexpectedly moving, and bursting with character. While it may not offer the deepest dive into music history, it provides something arguably better: an intimate portrait of an artist who never stopped creating, even as the world changed around him.
