    in Larks & Recs

    Recommendations: Survivor and Angus

    Survivor has not been on the air for 43 years (though it has been on for 22, which is a heck of a long time!). I remember well that summer it premiered, back in 2000, not because I was swept up in it or watched it all, but because everyone else was when I wasn’t […] More

    in Larks & Recs

    Recommendations: Barbarian and Ghost in the Machine

    My understanding is that the term ‘barbarian’ originally just meant someone who isn’t Greek, which is a little xenophobic. I’m not telling you to avoid the word, though, or saying it’s a problem in the title of the film Hawk is here to recommend to you this week (Barbarian). You don’t have to care about […] More

    Hey party people. If you’re not familiar with this feature, what we do is recommend things to you, new or old, that we’ve been into lately and think are worth your time.

    in Larks & Recs

    Recommendations: Rollerball and Ambulance

    Welcome back! Each week (or most weeks), our writers assemble in this space to provide you with recommendations of things we think you’ll enjoy watching, listening to, reading, or otherwise consuming with your sense organs. This week we’ve got a pair of films for you: Paul recommends Rollerball (1975) and Hawk gives us the more […] More

    in Larks & Recs

    Recommendations: The Rehearsal and The Black Phone

    We’re here each week (or most weeks) with recommendations from a collection of our staff. These won’t always be about new things (though sometimes they are), but they will always be about things that we think are worth your time. This week, Caemeron recommends Nathan Fielder’s The Rehearsal and Paul suggests answering the call of […] More
