Welcome back to In The Queue, a new show in The Rolling Tape network of podcasts that answers the question “What should I watch this weekend?” Every month, we line up what’s in theaters, what’s headlining our watchlists, and what we recommend adding to yours. We kicked off this series all the way back in March […]
The Last House is the latest Netflix thriller, and it’s the kind that makes you think, “Who is going to watch this?” Then you see that it was their number one movie in 89 countries for the first 48 hours after it dropped, and apparently everybody watched it but you. So I watched it, and […]
After all the discourse surrounding Westeros television, House of the Dragon Season 3 feels like a vindication of what this universe can still be. It does not need to be Game of Thrones. It does not need to perfectly recreate “Fire & Blood.” It simply needs to understand why these stories have endured.
As Fall film festivals (Venice, TIFF, Telluride, New York) begin, so does the Oscar journey for the 2027 Oscars. There’s more mystery than certainty when it comes to the Best Picture race, and the pre-Fall festival window can still allow some more theorizing and postulating than having to be concrete. Always the bridesmaids, never the […]
In just a few weeks, Venice, Telluride, New York, and Toronto will kick off a new cycle of anticipated awards contenders, with premieres and early reactions that will reshape our already exhaustive Oscar predictions. This is where some of our assumptions about certain films will go to die, or be validated. Who’s to say? Even […]
Fantasia International Film Festival is one of the premier genre film festivals in the country, with over 100 new sci-fi, fantasy, horror, and cult cinema movies debuting every year. While it didn’t debut at Fantasia Fest (that honor belongs to SXSW this year), A Safe Distance reigned as one of the best movies at the festival.
You know what’s more romantic than living under an authoritarian government where you can only have sex for one night of the year? Finding your true love for life. Time to nut up for Will Gluck’s One Night Only, starring Monica Barbaro and Callum Turner. Written by Travis Braun and based on his Black List script. […]
‘Tony’ is Matt Johnson’s follow-up to ‘Nirvanna,’ a touching, nuanced coming-of-age story with another satisfying performance from Dominic Sessa.
Javier Bardem and Amy Adams lead Apple TV’s ‘Cape Fear,’ a retelling of a Martin Scorsese classic that fails to live up to its predecessor.
It’s the opening weekend of Spider-Man: Brand New Day, but I don’t think we can conclusively say it’ll be part of this upcoming awards conversation—outside of a potential Best Visual Effects nomination. So instead of focusing on that amid the hundreds of millions of dollars being made by The Odyssey and Spider-Man, there’s a much smaller film quietly holding […]
‘Hadestown: The Musical’ brings Anaïs Mitchell’s Broadway hit to the big screen, a captivating watch with powerhouse performances all around.
Tom Holland’s friendly neighborhood Spider-Man teams up with Jon Bernthal, Zendaya, and Mark Ruffalo in ‘Spider-Man: Brand New Day.’
It’s episode 200 of our weekly Monday show, and what better way to celebrate than with the 38th film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) and the fourth film in the MCU Spider-Man film series. It’s also National Spider-Man Day which is celebrated annually on August 1st. The date marks the anniversary of the character’s first comic […]
Spider-Man meets anti-capitalist punk in ‘Matapanki,’ a bold and brazen film from Diego Fuentes out of this year’s Fantasia Festival.
Cooper Hoffman and Olivia Wilde star in Gregg Araki’s provocative yet underbaked ‘I Want Your Sex.’
