Nirvana the Band the Show the Movie 4/5: I saw this with no context for mystery movie Monday. This was pretty funny but I very clearly was not in on whatever the joke was. After the movie I did some review and apparently this is some combo of sketch/reality prank show. Which explains some of the direct to camera commentary. Very funny, but it certainly could help from context
We Bury the Dead 2/5: It’s a zombie movie, but the zombie is your failed relationships! It’s not scary and it’s not impactful
Iron Lung 4/5: This is obviously an indie movie based on a video game, but it was also a smart choice (not that I’ve played the game or watched Markiplier). It all takes place in one tube and the world building is intentionally murky. Pretty good eldritch horror
Scarlet 3/5: Is it an isekai if the other world is hell? Perfectly down the middle anime
F1 2/5: Predictable, overlong, and pushes a weird narrative. Worse than Gran Tursimo in basically every way
Robocop 4.5/5: So prescient it boarders on prophetic. It’s funny, smart, and has a lot to say, absolutely still worth watching
Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby 3.5/5: I have some nostalgia for this but was shocked that it holds up as well as it does. I might not suggest it if you’re sober or have no nostalgia but honestly it wasn’t nearly as offensive as I expected. Especially considering Sacha Baron Cohen plays a flaming European
