Post-Halloween Horror Recs: Chilling Tales for Dark Nights & Terrifier 2
Our friends over at Horror Obsessive might be proud: Halloween has come and gone, but surely November is just as good a time as any for some horror. The leaves are falling, it’s getting cold outside. On the East Coast of the United States, it’s about to start getting dark at 5pm. Truly terrifying stuff! […] More

Recommendations — Back to the Future: The Musical and Detroiters
Sometimes I find myself thinking about the scene in Back to the Future where Marty tries to order a soda and how it hangs on back-to-back jokes about brands of cola that don’t exist anymore. I wonder if those jokes are in the musical version. Perhaps I should ask Cat, whose recommendation really makes me […] More

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

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

Recommendations: Stay On Board, Karma Police, and The Forgiven
Recommendations include Stay On Board: The Leo Baker Story, The Forgiven, and “Karma Police” by Radiohead. A little over 20 years ago, I worked as a doorman at a bar. This might be somewhat hard to believe if you know me, as it’s not the kind of work that suits me at all. I wasn’t […] More

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

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
