CRAWLERS is 100% Infested Lite, but not (wholly) in a derogatory way. Matilda Lutz leads the charge against better-than-expected VFX spiders—more fun than expected!

Once again, Variety runs an uncritical advertisement for AI slop dogshit that doesn't even have a distributor. Jay Penske is obviously invested heavily in AI, and the trades are suspect from top to bottom because of such obvious conflicts of interest. variety.com/2026/film/ne...

‘Merry the Christmas Witch’ Director Estimated Movie Would Cost $80 Million — but Says With AI, He Made It for $1.5 Million (EXCLUSIVE)
Director Tom Walsh said he produced the two-hour film for $1.5 million, perhaps serving as a test case for the types of projects AI can help make.

Cut to me with the biggest stupid grin when Dastmalchian starts to deliver his version of the M. Bison "Tuesday" line (which a surprising amount of people in my screening DIDN'T REACT TO SMH).

Street Fighter Review: A Fun Adaptation If You Can Take A Beating
Street Fighter is a video game adaptation in the arcade sense: pop in a coin, button-mash for quick thrills, then move on to the next machine. That's not (wholly) a diss. Filmmaker Kitao Sakurai helms a 90s action goober that revels in manchild humor…

I’ve only seen the first episode but like 3 things happened that made me go, “oh, oh no.” Would be willing to continue if people I trust weren’t hating it so much haha.

CRAWLERS: Is the plot just beat for beat Infested? Yup. Is it ever as ferocious or engaging? Nah. Is it still a fun lil’ creature flick with better VFX spiders than expected? Yes! Matilda Lutz flows with the SYFY-vibes and there are a few delightful sequences (paint, goths, bondage). Good enough!

I'm actually the same! It took me until my 30s to watch Arachnophobia, and very much loved every minute (but really enjoy Big Ass Spider!, Eight Legged Freaks, and others).

The end is so good—I was like, we BETTER get the costume payoff. Was Don't Move worth anything? I lost track while prepping for Fantastic Fest. I'm not sure I even know the third!

It's very much in the CGI spiders camp, but they look pretty good at times, so still would be a nightmare for you haha. But it was fun!

WHALEFALL: I am so happy this movie exists and so sad it didn't work for me. Like, the fact that a "trapped in a whale" survival thriller is hitting theaters is wild? The production design of whale guts is wilder? But it lost me in the third act. A "just roll with it" movie I stopped rolling with.

I will say, had a wayyyy better time with STREET FIGHTER than Mortal Kombat II this year (not a high bar, but still).

STREET FIGHTER: A 90s action goober that makes the same mistakes as the movies it supposedly roasts. Incredibly funny and stylized at times! The fights (we're allowed to see)? Energetic and shot cleanly! But continuity is a mess—massive payoff problems. Dumb, car-smashing, unsteady himbo fun lol.

Gang, I cannot stress how excited I am for you to hear Midnight Radio. It's been a weird, punk rock, self-funded, dream project. Season 1 is just insane, with a crazy cast I can't believe I got to work with. You've never heard anything quite like it. Episodes drop beginning Oct 22nd!
A lone trailer with a large antenna on it broadcasts from the lonely desert under a yellow moon, with the title of the show: MIDNIGHT RADIO.

I have now received two separate interview invites insisting that "detailed questions are submitted in advance." Because we're seeing such a shift with tenured people losing positions and green writers getting brought in at content farms, let me be clear: that is not how journalism works.
