Happy Honda Days, everyone! How are we all doing right now? Yeah… yeah, same. Things are looking kinda glum near the close of a pretty glum year.

On the November Radar…
Well, here we all are. Still in the midst of a site-wide shutdown due to some of the staff writers demanding free healthcare for undocumented commenters. This is all their fault. Don’t believe anyone who tells you otherwise. Joey has, if anything, been given an extraordinary opportunity to lay off entire sections that contribute to […] More

On the Fall Radar…
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 Summer Radar…
Summertime! The season when the big movies IP-dependent franchise tentpoles roll out and keep Hollywood studio executives on the edge of their seats because these behemoths need to gross half-a-billion dollars just to have a shot at breaking even. The next ninety days will see the release of nine sequels, five reboots/remakes (depending on how […] More

On the Spring Radar…
Congratulations to Sean Baker on his big night at the Oscars! I have to admit, as much as I mostly like him as a filmmaker, it feels a little weird seeing someone win four Academy Awards for a single movie. I just don’t think that many trophies should be showered on just one person for […] 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

Just five days until we can finally get this election over with. Thank goodness. Check your registration. Get out and vote. Then, after checking your registration, and making a plan to vote, be sure to treat yourself to a movie. Between now and what Alex Jones keeps calling “the most important election in all of […] 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 Summer Radar…
Summer! Oh god it is getting hotter. So, so much hotter. All over the world. And the best part is, this is the coolest summer of the rest of our lives! Yay, accelerating climate catastrophe! So what can we turn to as we seek refuge in cool, air-conditioned theaters from the blistering heat over the […] 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 Early Year Radar…
Sorry about disappearing at the start of the New Year, folks. I want to thank Joey and the team for supporting me during a pretty stressful month, and I look forward to this incident being an unpleasant blemish on an otherwise wonderf… oh, who am I kidding? 2024 is going to be a nightmare of […] More
