About Me

A mid-stage millennial who's been fascinated by pop culture since before he can remember, and is dedicated to untangle the mess that it can often be. My opinions are mine and mine alone, and I try to make sure they are as well-researched and understandable as humanly possible. Because there's enough confusion that I have no interest adding to.

  • ‘Infinity Pool’: No Thoughts, Just (Dirty) Vibes
    Brandon Cronenberg's latest horror flick offers little beneath the rushes of blood, sweat, and other bodily fluids.
  • ‘The Son’ is a Frustratingly Hollow Film About Teen Mental Health
    Hugh Jackman and the rest of the cast deserve better than this narratively inert and over-directed family drama by Florian Zeller.
  • The 2023 Oscars Narrative: Overdue and Joyous Recognition
    The prevailing story uniting this year's leading Oscar contenders is triumph over Hollywood's history of neglect.
  • Bill Nighy’s Stiff Upper Lip Slips in the Lovely, Understated “Living”
    Bill Nighy's elegant, beautiful performance sharpens this cinematic gem about the dangers of sleepwalking through life.
