  • A Gory Island Escapade with Nick Frost Awaits in Get Away

    Twenty years ago, Edgar Wright’s Shaun of the Dead introduced the world to a pair of super believable best friends. Simon Pegg and Nick Frost’s incredible chemistry led the pair to multiple team-up efforts, even beyond Wright’s Cornetto Trilogy. Pegg and Frost have since become household names. However, 2024 has been particularly loaded with Nick…

  • Mystery at Blind Frog Ranch: The Curse of the Aztecs (S4E2)

    There is a lot to unpack in this week’s episode of Mystery at Blind Frog Ranch, but before we do, there’s something Ufology-related we need to discuss.

    Y2K: Party Like It’s 1999

    Walking into a classroom at MIT to attend a screening of Kyle Mooney’s Y2K is about as meta as it gets. As a huge fan of those old William Castle gimmicks, the simple idea of seeing a film about the AI apocalypse on New Year’s Eve in 1999 in a place synonymous with building AI-driven…

  • Five Modern Ghost Movies You Have to Check Out

    Last week, I wrote an article recommending five ghost movies every horror fan needs to check out, but that list was incomplete. I only looked at classic films from the 1940s to the 1980s, and as I’m sure you know, the subgenre has given us some absolute bangers in the 40 years since then. In…

  • Laughs, Gasps, and Winces (For Some) in Witchy Members Club

Many of us have various aspirations in a multitude of fields, like tinkering with computers or cars, writing in our spare time, or dancing without our clothes on. Hey, no judgment. We’ve all done it. Some immensely confident people…

  • Wicked: A Thrillifying Ride Defying All Expectations

    Yes, Wicked, the Broadway smash hit that has productions around the world and is always touring, all to packed audiences, has finally flown onto the big screen (pun intended). The script, music, lyrics, visuals, choreography, and performances immediately immerse you and sweep you up for a magical ride through Oz that will make you wonder…

  • Mystery at Blind Frog Ranch: Into the Cavern Pt. 2 (S4E1)

    Friends! We’ve finally made it! News of a fourth season for Mystery at Blind Frog Ranch was something I, and many fans, were not expecting. Radio silence on this topic was finally broken, unless you follow Ryan Skinner on Reddit, just a few weeks ago.  Today was the day of Lue Elizondo’s “highly anticipated” testimony…

  • Leeds International Film Festival: Night of the Dead 2024

    Last weekend, I attended Leeds International Film Festival’s annual Night of the Dead event. LIFF was founded in 1987, and every year films from all around the world are screened at various venues across the city. Fun fact: the reason why Leeds is the leading city for film in the UK is because the world’s…
