Armando Iannucci may be the strangest auteur in the business. The creator of great political satires The Thick of It, In the Loop, and Veep, Iannucci has a brilliant talent for elevating swearing into an art form, morphing the discourse to...
I think it’s quite fitting that I quite recently watched War on Everyone. It’s soundtrack, dedicated to the music of Glen Campbell, reminded me of how influential and game changing his music was. It’s also responsible for my grief today as...
I don’t think anything can stop Darren Aronofsky. While I appreciated his 2014 film Noah, most critics panned it, and it flopped at the box office. However, he didn’t let that stop him the way most directors would; instead, he has doubled down...
What’s up guys? It’s been a while. Yes, my Sundays have been interrupted the past couple of months, meaning I have taken a brief hiatus from the “What I Watched, What You Watched” series. However, I’m back, refreshed, and ready to continue one of...
It’s no secret that Americans are currently obsessed with the true crime documentary genre. Despite excellent entries over the years, from the groundbreaking Thin Blue Line to the Paradise Lost films, television miniseries and specials have...

The Emoji Movie is perhaps the best case for atheism the screen has ever presented, because what just God would allow this to happen? In the best-case scenario for this film, it is just an eighty-minute commercial for smartphones. That’s the best...
If I’m being honest, War for the Planet of the Apes is not quite my cup of tea. For all the hype and all the build-up that came from a hyper-intelligent first film and an ultra-gorgeous second, it honestly could have been more than what we’d...
Boy, Christopher Nolan really takes “Go big or go home” literally, huh? His newest film, Dunkirk, is the culmination of everything he’s been working toward ever since Memento, in terms of storytelling, editing, cinematography, and scope. And...
Guys, I love The Room. Often referred to as the best bad movie ever made, it’s earnest ineptitude has won over fans for the past fifteen years. I’m a huge fan of the movie myself, having seen it almost twenty times, completed the drinking game...
