I feel a little strange, and kind of guilty, posting something like this now of all times. These articles are literally designed to juice up interest, or at least discourse, around upcoming movies looking forward to an imminent commercially-available release on streaming or in theaters. But I feel like a lot of you may not […] More

On the Early ‘WTF’ Year Radar…
Did you know 2025 is a ‘WTF’ Year? That’s a year that begins on a Wednesday, making the acronym of the first three days of the year, literally, “W,” “T,” and “F.” Some superstitious folks would have you believe that this is a bad omen for the year, but that’s just silly. The last few […] More

On the December Radar…
Coming off of what was probably the single most awkward and regrettable Thanksgiving dinner of our lives, as well as a failed attempt to replicate a lightning-in-a-bottle cultural phenomenon, we have one more month of 2024 theatrical releases to go. These are coming out as the next awards campaign season heats up, but pretty much […] More

On the Fall Radar…
As we enter the final four months of 2024, and as we desperately try to find ways to take our minds off of what is surely destined to become the single most exhausting and aggravating year we have ever had to put up with since… well, the last election year, we can take solace in […] More

On the Spring Radar…
Happy Spring, readers! Although it feels like Spring came around much sooner this time. I wonder why that cou-oh, right. Well, at least we have the Cannes Film Festival to look forward to next month. As well as the 76th Writers Guild Awards, Society of the Snow very likely sweeping the 11th Platino Awards, and […] More

On the Radar… (December Edition)
The last month of 2023! Time to enjoy holiday cheer, YouTuber implosions, and get prepared for the worst and most exhausting election year of our lifetimes. We also have the last slate of this year’s feature films coming out, many of which are among the most anticipated of the entire year, and surprisingly, I’m not […] More

On the Radar… (October Edition)
I’m sorry, Joey, but you forced my hand: I’m gonna have to file a Motion to Vacate. Yes, you successfully passed a bill at the very last minute to keep the site running so we can meet our basic obligations. But when you took on the job of Editor-in-Chief, you specifically promised us that you […] More

On the Radar… (Fall Edition)
So… “Barbenheimer” sure was a thing, huh? Like, a genuine grassroots consumer phenomenon we haven’t seen in a long time. I don’t have a lot more to add to the aftermath commentary except: 1) Hahaha, our favorite special boy just cannot stop whining about Barbie, and 2) I’ve heard some actors and writers discouraging WGA […] More

On the Radar… (Summer Edition)
Summertime! A season of record-breaking heat waves, a last-minute attempt to avoid a purely self-inflicted economic catastrophe, and big-budget spectacle movies! I’m actually pretty surprised, in a good way, that movie theaters still exist in the post-pandemic era, and I will show my gratitude for their endurance in the face of a truly existential threat […] More

On the Radar… (Spring Edition)
Remember when a movie that won the Academy Award for Best Picture included a scene from one of its Oscar-nominated actresses where she bludgeons a man to death with two comically oversized dildos? And then later featured a scene where two henchmen shove phallic-shaped trophies up their asses to obtain martial arts abilities against its […] More

Well, folks, 2023 is upon us! I know we’re all still focused on the Oscar race ramping up and Kevin McCarthy’s embarrassing attempts to try to become the next Speaker of the House, but between now and The Big Night, we will have quite a few interesting releases to keep an eye on. Will any […] More

On the Radar… (December Edition)
It’s December! You know what that means: late-breaking Oscar contenders! And man oh man do we have a lot of them coming down the pipeline in the next few weeks. Literally every single movie I decided to cover this month has a very real shot at a Best Picture nomination, and all but one of […] More
