Dune 2021
They see what they’ve been told to see
I hope Denis Villeneuve cries with joy every night because he made this, as good as a cinematic adaptation could be of every spiritual, cosmic, environmental, political, cultural layer of probably the densest sci fi text ever created. This was my 6th time watching it, fourth time in theaters, and it hasn’t lost an ounce of its impact. They showed Paul’s first sandworm ride at the IMAX exclusive sneak peak and I…

I Saw the TV Glow 2024
Anyways, this shit is major. Demands to be digested over multiple viewings but you don’t need to dissect everything to conclude I Saw the TV Glow is probably a masterpiece. Look at any frame of this and all you see is Jane Schoenbrun - a surreal expression of being queer in the age of evolving media consumption and how it can both liberate and detrimentally intoxicate. Some moments that are absolutely horrific, some that will break your heart into a million…

Black Christmas 1974
Only one year after Roe v. Wade was passed, one of the best slashers ever made was so radically pro-choice and hauntingly honest about the dangers women face that its impact is still reverberating throughout the genre today. About one year after Roe v. Wade was overturned, this movie is having its 50th anniversary. Fuck that a million times! Anyways it’s a masterpiece!

Bullet in the Head 1990
She's not pretty anymore.
Woah?? Not sure how John Woo pulled off the insane tonal redirection of this from a Scorsese-style romp into a godless living nightmare of a psychological war epic, without losing the vibrance of the action. It’s eternally awful that he’s made a few of the greatest films ever and they’re completely lost on the mainstream. So many horrific images in here of ravaged innocence and how violence corrupts, the kind of film that defies convention and… -
The Thing 1982
When your circle small but one of you is the Thing (it’s Childs).
Muahaha welcome to John Carpenter Month, we finally covered this on the pod and it was so fun to ramble about it in a way that doesn’t quite suit a Letterboxd review. A film that I think we hold dearer because it was initially so maligned, sometimes the world isn’t ready for great art but good thing it lives forever! Rob Bottin you will always be famous.

Nights of Cabiria 1957
I am so struck by this, easily one of my new favorite endings if not one of my new favorite movies. Giulietta Masina is indescribable. The relentlessness and beauty of life and the persistence of the human spirit. Non mi manca niente!
