Attention all current and former Hot Topic girlies: Lisa Frankenstein is now streaming on Peacock, and it's the perfect horror comedy for your inner goth teen. Filled to the brim with dark, zany, sexual humor, Lisa Frankenstein stars Kathryn Newton as a death-obsessed ’80s teen, Lisa. Lisa recently lost her mother, and she doesn’t exactly fit...

Look. Is Madame Web a good movie? Of course not! But the fact remains that I had more fun watching this goofy Spider-Man adjacent movie in the theater than I've had watching any of the Marvel Studios movies in the last five years. Dakota Johnson’s much-mocked superhero flick—which is now available to buy or rent on digital platforms—has a...

Kate Winslet's new HBO satire, The Regime, is a tart treat that never lets up on the humor, the drama, or overarching weirdness. The series, created by Succession alum Will Tracy, follows the bizarre relationship that forms between a European dictator and the soldier brought into her orbit. Winslet shines as Elena Vernham, a media-savvy autocrat...

In need of some comic relief this weekend? Consider checking out Ricky Stanicky. Zac Efron, Jermaine Fowler, and Andrew Santino play three best friends who conjured up the fictional persona of Ricky Stanicky to blame after a fiery prank gone awry when they were little. Now adults, they have continued to use Stanicky as a get out of jail free card...

Let's be clear: BMX Bandits is not a good movie, nor was it a successful movie. I don't even think it's reached the level of cult classic, even if it rightly deserves to be. What BMX Bandits is, though, is available to stream on Peacock — and it stars a 16-year-old Nicole Kidman. It's not often that you get to see a legitimate film icon cut...

Let's get this out of the way, right away: I'm not really sure that Spaceman works, or that Adam Sandler was the right choice to play an exceedingly lonely, isolated, Czech (!) astronaut experiencing a full-scale mental breakdown during an 18-month round trip to Jupiter and back. So why am I recommending you watch it? Well, there's no getting...

Poor Things—which is now available on digital platforms and will be streaming on Hulu on March 7—is simultaneously the weirdest and most wonderful piece of media I had the pleasure of viewing in 2023. Yes, Emma Stone recently won an Oscar in 2018, but she deserves another one for her portrayal of a formerly dead woman resurrected by a macabre...

The 2023 Best Picture winner, Everything Everywhere All at Once, is now streaming on Netflix, and it is like no movie you’ve ever seen before. Starring acclaimed kung-fu actress Michelle Yeoh, the movie follows a woman who unexpectedly finds herself hopping through the multiverse. But these are not the kind of vanilla multiverse realities you...

Jonathan Glazer is (rightfully!) being heralded as one of the best directors of his generation, thanks to The Zone of Interest, one of this year's Best Picture nominees at the 2024 Oscars. Like so many directors of his era, Glazer got his start in music videos — "Virtual Insanity," anyone!?! — but graduated to the silver screen way back in...
