By Van Dennis • April 1st, 2025

What’s suddenly relevant about cartoon robots right now?

Ok, Let’s Try That Again, but This Time Good!

By Noah Springer • March 14th, 2025

If there is someone who I strongly admired and I think stood for something good in the world of the creative industries, it would have to be David Lynch.

Totally Generic

Nightbitch

By Natasha Ochshorn • February 12th, 2025

The whole fantasy element could be excised neatly from the film without it feeling much different, which is a worrisomely blasé way to come out of a film where someone turns into a dog at night.

Rookie of the Year
