• The Secret of Skinwalker Ranch: Darting Around (S6E9)

    Welcome back, fellow ranchers! We’re just four episodes left until the end of Season 6. I wonder what kind of hijinks our intrepid researchers will get themselves into this time! At this time, I don’t have much new information in the world of Ufology, but the heat has been turned back up on Lie Elizondo.…

  • Mystery at Blind Frog Ranch: Drain The Pond! (S5E6)

    Welcome back, fellow treasure hunters! I missed you all last week! The only interesting Ufology news I have is nothing but hearsay. While I believe everything I have read, I would prefer to keep Lie Elizondo’s lawyers out of my DMs. So, let’s get right to the bottom of this week’s episode to see if…

  • SNEAK PEEK! Mystery at Blind Frog Ranch: Drain The Pond! (S5E6)

    After a one-week hiatus, Mystery at Blind Frog Ranch is back! You may remember that the “Next time on…” for Season 5 Episode 5 “Detonation Threat” was with Duane Ollinger in the excavator, and suffering from a medical emergency. On top of Duane’s emergency, Josh Feldman gets Duane to agree to approach entering the Keyhole…

  • Fantasia 2025: Is ‘Haunted Mountains: The Yellow Taboo’ A New ‘Tag-Along?’

    Taiwanese horror has been making serious waves over the last few years, with films like The Sadness, Detention, and Incantation tearing up Western streaming charts. One film in particular, The Tag-Along, became the highest-grossing Taiwanese horror film of all time back in 2015, before being dethroned by Incantation in 2022. The Tag-Along, based on the…

  • Fantasia 2025: Rage and Pain Under ‘The Serpent’s Skin’

    Having released six features since 2021, Alice Maio Mackay is quickly becoming one of the premier auteurs of cult shockers, changing the landscape of horror cinema. Mackay’s punk rock filmmaking style knows no bounds. Throughout these last few years, she has created a universe of monsters, exploring the subgenre stylings of horror, playing with monsterdom,…

  • Fantasia 2025: Humanity Goes Back to ‘The Well’

    There is no shortage of post-apocalyptic indie dramas out there. Hell, at this point, I’m fairly certain you could find a Tubi subgenre dedicated to these films without going very deep into the subscription service. The idea of the end of the world is generationally compelling, and the plots tend to cater to small budgets.…

  • The Secret of Skinwalker Ranch: Swarm Weather (S6E8)

    Hello, fellow truth seekers! I’ll continue saying this. Sorry for the delay on this week’s article. It was uploaded to YouTube later than last week’s, AND I got a little slammed with work. But here we are! There’s no new interesting information in the Ufology world, so we’ll get right into this week’s episode to…

  • Fantasia 2025: Every Heavy Thing Ponders Future Tech In An Unevolved Society

    How the hell does anyone talk about a Mickey Reece film? The first film I saw from the director was Climate of the Hunter, which I caught during a film festival back in 2020. The film, about two aging women becoming increasingly cruel toward one another as they attempt to impress a man who might…

  • Fantasia 2025: ‘Noise’ is a Volatile Cacophony of Excessive Plot

    Is there anything worse than noisy neighbors? I’m sure there is, but first-time feature director Kim Soo-jin pushes the envelope in his Fantasia debut Noise (Noijeu) to suggest otherwise. The Korean-made Noise takes a page from many horror favorites in crafting a story about a rundown tenement building where some of the tenants have stayed…

  • Fantasia 2025: ‘The Bearded Girl’ is a Topsy-Turvy Fairytale for Anyone Who’s Ever Felt Like An Outcast

    One of my favorite things about the Fantasia International Film Festival is the depth of its programming. There’s always unexpected treasures waiting to be found within the massive amount of films playing, and I think I just found one. Jody Wilson, a visual effects artist from Vancouver who has contributed to projects such as The…
