Star Time
by JarvixSchmarvix
A few years before Natural Born Killers became the poster child for mass murder media infamy, this forgotten indie explored the topic through a shadowy, painfully isolated lens. Its satire is aimed...

Nirvanna the Band the Show the Movie
by JarvixSchmarvix
I was told to go into this completely blind, but I think at least some familiarity with the Canadian TV series would be helpful in retrospect. Still, surprises and laughs soar high. Void the snark ...

Loving Vincent
by JarvixSchmarvix
A one-of-a-kind hand-painted film released before generative AI could kill it, this masterpiece of animation is only hindered by its narrative. While novel in how it incorporates Van Gogh's scenes ...

Backrooms
by JarvixSchmarvix
It's fine. I like the set design, the sound design (I liked that light bulb hum), and the acting is solid. It has some genuinely unnerving moments and inspired choices, but it ends up a bit of a no...

The Amazing Digital Circus
by JarvixSchmarvix
I didn't expect to love this show as much as I do. It's genuinely a great animated series that just gets a little bogged down in mysterious lore and tying up loose ends. The character development, ...

Obsession
by JarvixSchmarvix
"What is this, a monkey's paw fable for gen-x incels?" I thought after the first act of Obsession, yet another victory for YouTuber low-budget indie horror at the box office in 2026. I wasn't wrong...

Bugonia
by JarvixSchmarvix
This rating may change if I watch a second time, since this really demands a second viewing given how many clues it drops along the way to its highly anticipated ending. I love how Lanthimos has th...

Everything Everywhere All at Once
by JarvixSchmarvix
I don't disagree that this is an overstuffed, overplotted cacophony of lol random humor and multiverse sci-fi that happened at what was arguably the height of public interest in the multiverse. It ...

Super Mario Bros.
by JarvixSchmarvix
For a so-bad-it's-good cult movie, this is one of the greats in my book. It's full of big budget (for the 90s) spectacle and insane creative decisions, the result of too many cooks in the kitchen t...

Undertone
by Jeff Richardson
This was a fun scary film. It reminded me a lot of sinister but with an even simpler setting. GOOD SHIT.

Benjamin, Adorno, Horkheimer, And A Path Backward Through Hegel
I've been reading Benjamin, Adorno, and Horkheimer, and the more I do the more I realize how much of what they're saying comes from conversations with the thinkers before them. It feels like walking into a room where everyone’s already mid conversation. This deep dive is my way of tracing those voices backward. I want to understand where ideas come from, how they evolve across time, and what they say about art, memory, and what it means to create something that feels alive.

Reign of Terror
Comprehensive Timeline of Ryan Walters Reign of Terror in Oklahoma and Beyond For the first time in modern Oklahoma History, nearly every parent in Oklahoma was in agreement that Ryan Walters was bad at his job. Across party lines, Oklahomans celebrated when he officially resigned. Within days, his mandates are began to get struck down one by one. But Ryan doesn't exist in a vacuum, he was strategically chosen and propped up to a position of power. If he was so hated, why didn't he end up getting removed from power sooner; and more importantly: Who helped him rise to power, and how do we stop something like this from happening again?
