It’s been a while (almost a year and a half) since I last wrote anything in this series but that’s just because you don’t often see good films in the horror comedy genre. Sure, I’ve seen four Toxic Avenger movies, a seemingly deliberately bad Finnish movie called Bunny the Killer Thing (being purposefully bad does not make for a good movie), Two Thousand Maniacs! and so forth. On the other hand, there are some I might want to talk about, like Heart-Eyes, The Ugly Stepsister, Deadstream, Deathgasm, The Wolf of Snow Hollow, Slumber Party Massacre… We’ll see. Maybe this series gets another (third) lease on life?
Getting Back to Dishonored
The Dishonored series was made for me. The people behind it might not have known it at the time but they still tried. So, every couple of years I replay those games.

Oscar Picks (2026) – My Way
My way being… weird. It’s not about what I think is the best or what I think is my favorite, but what win would be most beneficial culturally. You’re smart, you’ll figure it out as we go.
Voice of Hind Rajab Review
This is the kind of movie that will haunt you, but for very different reasons to most such movies. Gladly, I did know what I was getting myself into.
Using Generative AI in Your RPGs – 2026 take
Send Help Review – Sam Raimi Is (Somewhat) Back
So, there is apparently some kind of moratorium on writing reviews on this movie, but they still let the public in to see this? I mean, I’m not a professional critic and yet, here I am, just having seen this movie. There’s also audience reviews on Rotten Tomatoes, but no critic reviews. Did someone not plan this correctly?
Marty Supreme Review
I was a bit hesitant to see Marty Supreme because I was not a fan of Good Time and I could barely stand Uncut Gems.
Pitchfork goes subscription model, I go elsewhere
Okay, not everything is behind a paywall but the reviews are.
Golden Age of Horror?
I was rewatching Weapons and this occurred to me. Are we living in a golden age of horror? Turns out, I’m almost ten years too late on this.
