• Mystery at Blind Frog Ranch: Back to the Energy Zone (S3E6)

    Welcome back, fellow treasure hunters! We have a great episode of Mystery at Blind Frog Ranch this week, but before we get there, we have some interesting Ufology news to go over. A new/ish organization called Skywatcher has been making its rounds on UfoTwitter but not for good reasons. Their goal was, seemingly, to bring…

  • Faith and the Dark Arts Collide in A Cursed Man

    Liam Le Guillou is not the type of person you picture walking into the homes of Hoodoo Priests in New Orleans and entering the caves of South American devil worshipers. If anything, the documentary director looks like the kind of guy you’d see on a Sunday afternoon visit to the hardware store or Target run.…

  • BUFF 25: The Surfer, Chain Reactions, Fréwaka, and More

    The Boston Underground Film Festival got underway on Wednesday night with a duo of big-screen beachside films that manage to evoke every manner of summer except the chilled vibes. Tensions ran high in the packed Brattle auditorium for The Surfer, which was a blast to watch with a crowd. The Surfer If you’re a fan…

  • BUFF 25: The Weird, Wild, and Wonderful Dunwich Horrors Short Block

    For however long I’ve been going to The Boston Underground Film Festival, The Dunwich Horrors block has always been an extremely creative mix of bold concepts and effects-rich horror. The BUFF 25 lineup for the shorts block this year is no different, with ideas that touch upon gender roles, social injustices, war, and politics, all…

  • BUFF 25: Head Like A Hole Mixes Severance with Clive Barker

    You just never know what to expect from films you see at film festivals. That may seem like a pretty obvious statement, but for those who’ve never attended a film festival, let me assure you it can often be a Cracker Jack surprise that can go either way. As I settled into enigmatic indie Head…

  • Mystery at Blind Frog Ranch: Into The Mormon Eye (S3E5)

    Welcome back, fellow treasure hunters! Not much interesting news has plagued Ufology since we last talked. There was a surprising premiere of Dan Farah’s new Ufology documentary, State of Disclosure, at South by Southwest. I can’t really think of a less welcoming place for a documentary like that. I’m friends with many people who attended…

  • The Parenting Proves a Great Cast Can Boost a Bad Movie

    Introducing your partner to your parents can be a nerve-wracking experience. Such is the case for The Parenting’s Rohan (Twisters’ Nik Dodani) and Josh (Hellraiser 2022’s Brandon Flynn), who have decided to whisk their polar opposite parents away to a cozy, isolated Airbnb in the woods to get to know each other as Rohan prepares to ask Josh…

  • Uncontained: An Unconventional Family Affair Zombie Film

    No one can resist a good zombie movie. When done right, these tales about feral monsters and animalistic impulses have ways of asserting more humanity than many of the thousands of films put out each year. Zombie movies have a rhythmic road map: outbreak, meet the survivors, attack, hard loss, grandiose overture, and aftermath. They’re…

  • The Day The Earth Blew Up: A Looney Tunes Movie – A Looney Blast!

    The Day the Earth Blew Up: A Looney Tunes Movie holds an important place in Looney Tunes history in multiple ways. It’s the first-ever theatrical, fully animated, feature-length Looney Tunes film (Past theatrical outings have been shorts, animation-live action hybrids, or feature-length compilations of (mostly) existing shorts). It’s a rare 2D-animated film, which is especially…

  • Control Freak Will Make You Itch All Over

    Hulu has been growing their original horror content for a long time. For those of us who remember the premiere of Into the Dark in October 2018, horror fans eagerly anticipated monthly original movies from the streamer in collaboration with Blumhouse Television. I was heartbroken when it ended. As Into the Dark faded out, Hulu…
