It's a damn shame that EL CONDE is buried somewhere in the Netflix algorithm. Pablo Larraín made something truly special here that more people should see. The satire is biting, the genre elements blend so well with the historical pieces, and the cinematography is just gorgeous.

These movies were a ridiculous blast. They'd been on my watchlist for a while. Basically campy Lovecraft lore sans existential dread, but with some great practical monster work from R. Christopher Briggs and Camille Calvet. Why'd they give the unnamable a name though!? 😂 #Horror

Revisiting this was a trip — I really don’t think I’ve watched THE RING since it came out back in 2002. It’s still a great example of unrelenting unease without resorting to big scares and set pieces (until some of the final scenes, of course). Excited to dig into this one on the pod soon!

If Carpenter is saying nice things about you, that's the ultimate prize. Dude talks so much trash about everyone in the business. This proves Sam Neill was as close to an angel as we can get these days.

The synth-heavy Tangerine Dream soundtrack of the theatrical cut is definitely an experience, but I think Scott's director's cut is the better movie for sure. Either option is a wild, fever-dream of an experience, but I love it! It's beautifully shot, very weird and a whole lot of fun.

I liked STAR WARS: THE MANDALORIAN & GROGU much more than expected! It was a nice, relatively stand-alone space adventure that wasn't working overtime to set up a sequel. But my favorite element was all the practical puppetry, miniatures & even a bit of stop-motion—some from Phil Tippett's studio!
