Akerman almost showed up in 4 spots (News From Home was runner up for 1976, and The Meetings of Anna for 1978, on top of Hotel Monterey and Jeanne Dielman). Fair enough.

It's the FINAL WEEK of the Darker Times Summer Subscriber Drive! And we're kicking things off with @jessicaesquire.bsky.social's examination of the 2024 film Heretic, specifically with a conversation between ex-Mormons. Read the piece here: www.darkertimes.com/ex-mormons-h...

Just Asking Questions: Ex-Mormons Talk About Heretic

A group of ex-Mormons talk about urban legends, religious representation, and more in the horror movie Heretic.

I do think you'd hate it, though lol

Derek (they/them) @bookmobility.bsky.social · 10/08/2026

I also find it pretty charming in a shaggy, hangout-movie kind of way. It's not as homophobic and sexist as you might expect (I mean it's not not but). I usually don't like Linklater, so this is an outlier for me.

Derek (they/them) @bookmobility.bsky.social · 10/08/2026

A big part of my affection for it comes from working at a university. The movie takes place in the 3 days before classes start, and there's something weirdly humbling about how little the parts of the university I work in figure in the characters' lives.

It was an unusually new-release- and rewatch-heavy month, hence the somewhat lopsided results.

I paused after I caught up at episode 3 or something and haven’t returned. Confusing but not interestingly so, I think.

I’m only halfway through but I think if it was 2, we’d spend less time with the teenagers.

5 directors to get to know me: Akerman Hawks Jude Kiarostami Reichardt (I’m basic.)

Derek (they/them) @bookmobility.bsky.social · 26/07/2026

I loved it! Definitely pushed some personal buttons for me (kind of chaotic childhood in the Pacific Northwest in the 1990s) but it’s not just that. Looks incredible, really interesting structure. And I loved the score.
