Warren Beatty’s adaptation of the 1930s comic strip is certainly visually striking. As a matter of fact, the set design, makeup effects, cartoonish backgrounds and

I've been a lifelong over-indulger of pop culture, from movies to music to television to books, so I figured I'd start writing about it if only to stay literate.
What We Do in the Shadows (2014)
From beginning to end, this comedy from New Zealand is a pleasure to watch. A sort of mockumentary not unlike Christopher Guest’s oeuvre, it features
Some Like It Hot (1959)
It’s absolutely thrilling how funny and rather progressive “Some Like It Hot” is, even a full 60 years after its release. The main story isn’t
Family Plot (1976)
Alfred Hitchcock’s final film is a bit on the underwhelming side. The story itself is intriguing but seems better suited to a novel than a

The Last Drive-In with Joe Bob Briggs: “Q: The Winged Serpent” (2019)
One of the best episodes of Shudder’s revival thus far. Larry Cohen’s 1982 cult classic about an Aztec God resurrected in modern-day New York City
Broad City (Season 5) (2019)
The final season of Comedy Central’s wonderfully hilarious sitcom is just as funny as the seasons that have come before, but it’s also blessed with
Captain Marvel (2019)
On the one hand, it’s so cool that the Marvel universe finally has a female superhero in the lead role, and on paper, Brie Larson
