From Hollywood Dreams to Monster Screams: Minions & Monsters on Physical Media

September 9, 2026

I'll admit it: my two-year-old is obsessed with Minions. Maybe it's the gibberish language, maybe it's the slapstick chaos, or maybe it's the endless stream of Minion content scattered across the internet. Whatever the reason, he loves them.

Saturday Morning Monsters: Why Tales from ’85 Feels Like Classic Stranger Things Again

April 23, 2026

At roughly 24 to 28 minutes per episode, Stranger Things: Tales from ’85 moves fast. Maybe a little too fast sometimes, but the short runtime keeps the energy high and the momentum constant. You finish one episode and immediately roll into the next, not because of obligation, but because it gets under your skin in that familiar Hawkins way.

When Healing Hurts: Archangel Delivers an Emotional Gut Punch

Review

For more than a decade, filmmaker Sam Platizky and his team at Narrow Bridge Films have built a reputation through comedy, horror, and the occasional hybrid of the two. With Archangel, however, Platizky takes an unexpected turn into dramatic territory, delivering a deeply personal and emotionally grounded short film that feels less interested in spectacle than in something far more challenging: compassion.

Guerrilla Metropolitana's Dariuss Is a Fever Dream You Survive, Not Watch

Review

"The most important questions are the unanswered ones." Take a moment to let that sink in. Then forget everything you think you know about horror cinema and press play on Dariuss.

Data Not Drama Finds Heart Inside the Algorithm

Review

For someone whose entire life exists online, Jenessa Miller spends much of Data Not Drama profoundly alone. Writer-director David Ramer's intimate sci-fi drama follows the influencer behind the wildly successful "Data Not Drama" brand, a woman who has built a career sharing herself with millions while carefully withholding the parts that matter most. What begins as a clever satire of content culture gradually evolves into something far more affecting: a story about loneliness, vulnerability, companionship, and the universal desire to be understood.

Isabel Hagen Strikes a Perfect Note in On a String

Review

There are funny movies, and then there are movies that catch you so completely off guard that you find yourself laughing harder than you have in months. On a String belongs firmly in that second category. Written, directed by, and starring Isabel Hagen, the Tribeca Best Screenplay winner follows a Juilliard-trained violist attempting to navigate New York's classical music scene while still living at home and trying to figure out what adulthood is supposed to look like.

The Heart Behind Obsession: Amy Evans-Vega, the One Wish Willow, and a Family Creative Legacy

One of the most fascinating aspects of Obsession is how deeply family is woven into its DNA. While audiences have become captivated by the mystery of the One Wish Willow and the film's layered storytelling, many may not realize that one of the movie's most iconic creations came from the hands of Amy Evans-Vega, a graphic designer, illustrator, mother of writer-director Curry Barker, and one of the earliest creative collaborators on the project. As the designer behind the now-famous One Wish Willow packaging, Amy helped create a prop that has become every bit as memorable as the film itself.

Nathan Tymoshuk Is Still Chasing Frogman, and Fans Couldn’t Be Happier

Few independent horror films have built the kind of passionate following that Frogman has earned over the last several years. What began as a low-budget labor of love from director Anthony Cousins and his collaborators has grown into a genuine cult phenomenon, with Frogman Returns expanding the mythology in surprising ways and leaving audiences eager to see where the story goes next. At the center of it all is Nathan Tymoshuk, whose portrayal of Dallas Kyle has become synonymous with the franchise itself.

Jason Isaacs Finds Humanity on The Salt Path

There are certain actors who elevate every project they touch, and Jason Isaacs has long been one of them. While many audiences know him from the Harry Potter franchise or more recently The White Lotus, his latest role in The Salt Path may be one of the most affecting performances of his career. Based on the memoir by Raynor Winn, the film follows Raynor and her husband Moth after they lose their home and face a devastating medical diagnosis, setting out on a 630-mile journey along England's South West Coast Path.

Big Baby: Spider One and Krsy Fox Continue Their Horror Evolution

There are interviews you look forward to, and then there are interviews that feel surreal. Sitting down with Spider One and Krsy Fox to discuss Big Baby was firmly in the latter category for me. Long before Spider One was building horror films through OneFox Productions, he was fronting Powerman 5000.

Malcolm Kelner Is the Face of Obsession, Whether the Rest of the Cast Likes It or Not

Every great film has that one performance audiences can't stop talking about. For Obsession, the viral thriller from director Curry Barker, that performance belongs, unquestionably, to Malcolm Kelner's bartender. What began as a brief appearance in the film's opening moments has somehow evolved into one of the internet's favorite running jokes, spawning memes, fan theories, social media discourse, and a level of celebrity that Kelner has embraced with remarkable confidence.
