Nirvanna the Band the Show the Movie: F is for Friends Who Make Absolute Cinema
THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS. Nirvanna the Band the Show the Movie (2025) Matt Johnson Nirvanna the Band the Show the Movie was the third film of my historic film-watching weekend, and it was the one that popped up on my radar the latest. It’s 4.4 rating on Letterboxd was striking, to say the least, and the trailer looked funny, so I drove all the way to Denton to see it—that was…

GOAT: Steph Curry 4, LeBron James 1
GOAT (2026) Tyree Dillihay Day 2 of the Valentine’s Day Weekend Theater Crawl has come and gone, and GOAT was second on the docket. I’d actually become more and more excited about this one since it was announced last year. At that point, it seemed gimmicky and simple, but my tune changed once I turned my brain back on and remembered that Sony’s has been on fire lately. With their stellar, experimental…

Wuthering Heights: Steamy, Surreal, and A Bit Short of “Heights”
THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS. Wuthering Heights (2026) Emerald Fennell Pardon the wordplay, but my Valentine’s Day Weekend is about to be a movie. Starting tonight, I’m seeing a 2026 release every day of this weekend through Monday, and Wuthering Heights had the distinct honor of going first. Liz and Gabe joined us for this one—we’ve earned quite the reputation for roping them into weird movies—and while I certainly enjoyed Wuthering Heights, it sounded…

The Secret Agent: Style, Substance, and Struggling to Synthesize
THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS. The Secret Agent (2025) Kleber Mendonça Filho After seeing Arco at the Cinépolis in Euless yesterday, I guess I could’ve just stayed there overnight, because my next movie started 17 hours later in the auditorium across the hall! No one joined me this time for The Secret Agent, but I am proud to say that, even with little fanfare, I have now seen all of the 2026 Best Picture…

Arco: A Great, Big, Beautiful Tomorrow
THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS. Arco (2025) Ugo Bienvenu After my depressing trip to Dallas earlier today for The Voice of Hind Rajab, I needed a cinematic pick-me-up, and Arco with Liz and Gabe was the perfect prescription. I’d had this movie on my watchlist since like September, so it was great to finally see it and check off the last of the Best Animated Feature nominees for this year. I’m glad to report…

The Voice of Hind Rajab: Art Depicts Life
THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS. The Voice of Hind Rajab (2025) Kaouther Ben Hania Coming out of the theater today, it didn’t feel right to write a review of The Voice of Hind Rajab. I didn’t want my thoughts on trivial things like the performances or the cinematography to distract from the real-life horrors depicted in this movie. After sitting with my feelings on the drive home (from the Angelika in…

Iron Lung: The YouTuber-to-Filmmaker Pipeline is Safe
THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS. Iron Lung (2026) Mark Fischbach Over the last week, I’ve become unexpectedly interested in the directorial debut of one Markiplier, reading articles and watching interviews and even his Let’s Plays of Iron Lung from a few years ago. I think the idea of a YouTuber jumping into filmmaking appeals to me, especially when Mark Fischbach is doing just about everything to get this movie to the country, from…

Send Help: Raimi and McAdams Thriving on Survival
THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS. Send Help (2026) Sam Raimi As I’ve become a bigger cinephile over the last few years, I’ve had a couple instances where I accidentally start an actor or director’s filmography in a really unconventional place. That’s what’s happened with Sam Raimi and Send Help today. I haven’t seen any of the original Spider-Man trilogy (I’m so sorry), nor have I seen any of the Evil Dead movies, so Send Help became the first Sam…
