The fact that Tune-Yards score for I Love Boosters is unlike anything you've heard in decades, interacts w the movie in ways that scores rarely do, caused TikTok trends, and are actual hummable tunes that ppl remember- is something we will see play out during Oscar nominations.
I keep thinking about one of my favorite jokes in the winning new spoof STOP! THAT! TRAIN!: discussing the many global landmarks they always dreamt of seeing, train stewardesses Tess (Ginger Minj) and DeeDee (Jujubee) list, “The Grand Canyon and the Dakotas—Fanning and Johnson.”

disliking a piece of media and deciding “yeah I need to go attack every person online that likes this” is such a miserable way to live lmao
We’re nine full months into 2026 and Tune-Yards’ music score in Boots Riley’s I LOVE BOOSTERS is still the best score of the year, and it’s not even close.
I’m going to need Skyler Gisondo Oscar-nominated for his shattering supporting performance in PRIMETIME, thanks.

I'll always defend Dan Aykroyd's NOTHING BUT TROUBLE. It knows exactly what movie it wants to be; Twilight Zone meets Tales from the Crypt for 93 minutes with a big studio behind it. A fantastic blank check go-for-broke concept that Aykroyd had the chance to make only once at only that period of time, and I'm so glad it exists.

This is a great point. RESIDENT EVIL looks absolutely gorgeous, and makes a case for the atmospheric benefits of setting more horror films in snowy settings.
Knowledgable authors, help me to understand: If you’re going to come right out before a book is published and reveal your true identity (and the true identity is even in the blurb), what is the point of releasing it under a pseudonym? I truly don’t understand the point.

Scream Fans have mourned the passing of Hayden Panettiere. Kirby Reed left us with so many iconic memories from SCREAM 4 and SCREAM VI.

It took seven previous films, but at long last, a fitting RESIDENT EVIL adaptation has arrived, achieving the spine-tingling threat and fear this IP demands. In Zach Cregger’s masterful hands, you’ll laugh one minute and try not to scream the next. Austin Abrams is terrific.
This Emmy Awards look from Shailene Woodley is such trash a fly literally landed on my screen as I was looking at it.

director said “they’re sisters” but they heard “they scissor” and ran with it
So proud to be a part of these incredibly in-depth and insightful episodes exploring SCREAM 7 from a good-faith perspective. @SCREAMwithRCS is available wherever you listen to your podcasts.
A Guide to SCREAM 7 ❤️🔥 Over the last six months, my team has been committed to thoroughly covering one of the most important and best films in the franchise, SCREAM 7.
These podcast episodes reflect good-faith, substantive analysis of a film to which the critics were blatantly unfair and online discourse has been unkind and one-dimensional.
I love this franchise, the character of Sidney Prescott by Neve Campbell, and the art created by Kevin Williamson — it was an honor to study the film so intensely on my show. Very proud of these shows.
