Satire

True acceptance, harmony, peace, and divinity; all that stuff is a lie. We all just wanna be good-looking. We are first introduced to Stacey (Kate Micucci), awkwardly sway dancing to some generic jazz tune, wearing…

“It wasn’t easy, but it’s worth it”. These words from co-writer and star of Bros, Billy Eichner, in his Q&A after its Melbourne premiere screening resonated with a thundering echo. Not just in terms of…

There once was a day when Beavis and Butt-Head, this innocuous and delightfully stupid cartoon, was highly controversial. For the moral crusaders in the early nineties, the popularity of this MTV-produced show (back in ancient…

There’s a certain type of fascination in watching a film where you can immediately tell that other people’s enjoyment of it will be almost entirely predicated on how much they’re able to live with its…

Can the literary art form still survive in this hyperactive, Twitter-operating, modern age? Bookworms venturing through desolated libraries and soon-to-be bankrupt bookstores may find themselves out of time, yearning for a time where a 400-page…

Despite how much social media is seemingly at the center of our lives, there are still only precious few good movies about the subject. What is it that makes it so hard to capture? Is…

When it comes to the Hollywood satire, the gold standard will forever be Billy Wilder’s Sunset Boulevard, followed by Robert Altman’s The Player. Other underappreciated jewels to this genre are The Coen Brothers’ Barton Fink,…

Tubi TV is a fascinating, free service full of cult oddities from around the world. It’s got a little bit of everything a movie fan could ever want. As such, on a recurring basis, we’re…

I could absolutely destroy Vincent Vega from Pulp Fiction (1994) in physical combat. There is no way I could lose. Sure, he has a gun and he’s unpredictable, but he also dances like a nerd and could…

War is complicated. Humanity is complicated. Put them together and there is a perfect storm of destruction and loss of life. But satire has a way of allowing us to both laugh and think clearly.…

For those of you that just couldn’t get enough of Tenet, Christopher Nolan has another great film coming to theaters soon! Nolan’s newest film takes a surprising turn as he dives into directing a romantic comedy.…

I like to think that the two best directors on the planet are Tommy Wiseau and Neil Breen. However, when it comes down to it, Neil Breen has the upper hand. He uses better special…

So, you’ve never heard about Tubi TV? If you are a movie freak, then you are missing out on some really cool stuff. Tubi TV is a lot like Netflix and Amazon Prime, except that……

I agonized over the title of this article for some time. (SEO is tough, ya’ll.) But sometimes, when a movie is as ridiculous as Deerskin, being as plain as possible can do wonders. It paints…

On paper, The Hunt didn’t seem to offer anything new. The initial premise calls back to the 1924’s short story, The Most Dangerous Game, which has been adapted numerous times — most notably, of course,…

Have you ever tried holding your breath during underwater scenes in movies to see if you would have survived? Well, that’s what I did. After doing this challenge, I’ve come to realize that I would…

Back to the Future Part II is iconic, but that doesn’t mean that it’s a good movie. While it’s flashy visuals and its satirization of America’s future are fun, the movie itself is a mess.…

So far in his career, Taika Waititi has essentially told two kinds of stories: ones that are nothing but unabashedly goofy chaos (think What We Do in the Shadows or Thor: Ragnarok) or a coming-of-age…

blink-182 is one of the most prolific punk rock bands of recent years (the 90s are recent — fight me). They emerged on the scene in the 1990s and have managed to stay relevant throughout…

Seeing a noted character actor, someone known for a long list of memorable supporting roles, take on a lead role — especially if the role requires a certain amount of psychotic ham — is likely…

Monty Python’s Life of Brian is one of the finest examples of British comedy. The movie is considered a classic. One that is enjoyed by generations old and new. Nowadays, we can view the movie’s…

At 32 minutes, Frankenstein’s Monster’s Monster, Frankenstein is the shortest contender for this year’s academy award. It is the masterpiece of David Harbour III, the talented actor known solely for his role in Hellboy (2019).…

I got to tell you, this has been one of the most enjoyable articles to write for this website. It combines two of my favorite things: movies and ice cream. In all reality though, I…

The idea of imagining certain celebrities as ice cream flavors is a version of a slightly dead meme, wherein internet users imagine famous people as certain products or items; some of my favorite have included…

I’m currently in college, so I know basically everything that actually happens on college campuses. The movies make it seem like it’s partying, smoking weed, drinking, and sex every night, but I can tell you…

John Waters’ films are all about transgression. Like his contemporary David Lynch, the underground cinema icon seeks to expose the rot at the heart of the idyllic world of post-World War II America. But where…

The film world rightly regards Joel and Ethan Coen as among the most innovative filmmakers of their generation. A large part of the brothers’ popularity is their uncanny ability to work within various genres while…

Have you ever worked in an office? Then Office Space is a film about your life. The technology may be twenty years out of date, cubicles may be replaced with open plan offices, but still:…

10 years after the release of Taken, anytime you see Liam Neeson on a poster with a killer’s stare and the word ‘revenge’ in the tagline, you know what you’re in for: an over-the-top action…

Seconds after finishing the trailer, I contacted the MovieBabble crew and requested to review Velvet Buzzsaw. It looked absolutely demented, and therefore perfect for the likes of me. It sold itself as a supernatural slasher…
