Let's Get Physical: Art Horror and Nonfiction Influences.

 

The latest physical media column tackles the expanded 50th anniversary edition of Desi Arnaz' A Book, the Maltin family film-themed cookbook, Louise Weard's Castration Movie Anthology 1, and new home video editions of The Stendhal Syndrome and The House with Laughing Windows.

At the movies: Beyond The Black Rainbow.

 Finally showing in a Nashville theatre. On 35mm, no less.



Multiple Movie Catchup.

 


Five short film reviews: cosmic horror/public access commercial whatsit BUFFET INFINITY, country horror HOKUM, artsy musical drama MOTHER MARY, controversial genre piece LEE CRONIN'S THE MUMMY, and the 3D Billie Eilish concert film HIT ME HARD AND SOFT. All a worth checking out.

At the movies: Dead Lover.

 

There's not really anything out there right now like Dead Lover. A friend said to me that it felt like the best Kids In The Hall project in years, and I feel that. Check this one out.

At the movies: Sholay.

 Sholay is one of the all-time greats. Seriously, you want to just soak in it.



At the movies: The Christophers.

 A sensible film for grownups dealing with real issues and wild personae.



At the movies: Faces of Death (2026)

 

I had no idea that I was going to vibe with this. But I kind of did.
