I’ve spent a lot of time thinking about Gotham. Since the show was announced last year, I have been anticipating the premier with equal measures excitement and dread; my expectations and enthusiasm wildly fluctuating with every new image, trailer, and bite of information released. Now Gotham is here. Premiers have been premiered, live tweets have been live tweeted,…
Admittedly, I don’t watch a lot of sports movies. Maybe it’s the fact that they mostly seem to follow the same inspirational story arc, maybe it’s the fact that I’m not into that many sports, or maybe it’s the fact that watching a clearly staged game isn’t as exciting as watching one live; who knows?…
Baddie – Madness, slow-brewed over time. Lesson – Maybe, maybe a walrus is superior. I’m taking a quick break from Shame September because Tusk came out, and I needed to go and see it. I encouraged a friend of mine to drive all the way up to Austin for it, and as a result, that required a…

It’s one of the most referenced movies of all time, and it’s basically the definition of exorcism horror. To be…
Where would internet film critics be today without bargain DVD bins? Probably writing run-of-the-mill clickbait lists, and we know you don’t want that, do you? Case in point, after failing to find anything I was exceedingly eager to write about on the usual streaming service scan, I decided to drop by my local record store…
