We tried to get Guy Pearce on the phone to see if he’d like to appear on today’s episode. He said he was game, but when we called back to give him a rundown of everything, he acted like he had no memory of our conversation and no idea who I was. Very unprofessional. RETRO//RANKED is […]
In his debut feature documentary, Director Eddie Sánchez paints a vulnerable portrait of his family and their experience as immigrants in the U.S. Mexicanamerican introduces us to his parents, Lalo and Beby Sánchez who, like many immigrants and refugees, came to the U.S. in hope of opportunity and a better future.

Meet Famous Eddie Plein – the biggest fashion icon you never heard of. Eddie was the visionary behind grillz, the culture-changing dental jewelry that came to dominate the zeitgeist — celebrities, rappers, athletes, models, anyone who is anybody wears grillz. In his feature documentary, Mouth Full of Golds, Lyle Lindgren showcases the rise and fall of Famous Eddie’s […]
Once again, I dipped my toes back into African cinema and Kenyan land rights with One Woman One Bra, directed by Vincho Nchogu. Nchogu paints beautiful tableaus of the Kenyan countryside as we quietly watch a woman try to discover her past and find acceptance in a village she wants to call home.
Consider this a first for The Awards Tape as we decided to backtrack and provide an update on a little movie you may have heard of called Obsession. Yes, the $750,000 micro-budgeted horror film has taken over the box office as after three weeks in wide release, it’s accumulated over $170 million worldwide, becoming the first film from […]
Today we are officially closing the book on one of the biggest, most talked about, and complicated television shows of the last decade, HBO’s Euphoria. Over the last few months, we’ve gone all the way back to Season One, revisited Season Two, and finally caught up with the third and final season of the series. Created […]
Sara Ciplickas sits down with Michelle Visage, Executive Producer and Judge on RuPaul’s Drag Race. The two discussed season eighteen, her role in front of and behind the camera, and the progression of Queer television. Every single Queen is inspirational, even the ones I only get to know for a week or two. They’re all inspirational and […]
For the diner scene alone, Crooks is a fascinating watch, where Trimbur and Walters let it all hang out and dangle in a dazzling display of the abandoned American dream.
By the power of Grayskull, I unite fans of sword and sorcery, 1980s nostalgia, and homoerotic relationships between hero and villain because today we are discussing Masters of the Universe based on the media franchise by Mattel and the second live-action film adaptation after the 1987 film. A new live-action film was announced in 2009 by Sony […]
I’m not very surprised to report that 2026’s Scary Movie fails to even make me sharply exhale air out of my nose. Trying incessantly to trigger anyone it can, the film fails to offer any meaningful commentary or parody of modern horror.
Overall, the exploration felt as though it was taking shortcuts rather than looking at the whole picture. Ultras comes across as embracing certain elements more than others, falling in love with its own idea of what Ultras can be rather than what they actually are.
On paper, Pressure doesn’t seem all that enjoyable, but to say I wasn’t curious is an understatement. What helps with this story is a great central performance from Scott.
‘Masters of the Universe’ is representative of everything we’re doing wrong in modern moviemaking, and very little of what we do right.
We’re launching a brand new episode format: a recurring spotlight series dedicated to celebrating singular women in film, their work, their lives, their legacies, and what they mean to us. There’s no more fitting way to kick things off than with Agnès Varda, whose birthday was recently on May 30th. Happy birthday, Agnès! Belgian-born French filmmaker […]
