Cinema is a significant part and representation of our culture, relaying our times as both timeless and constantly active. For this reason, every film—whether “good” or “bad”—is an active engagement with the viewer. Whether a movie is expanding or conforming to our notions of the world, we the viewer also have the ability to act on the movie; a film is only immersive if we choose to immerse ourselves in […]
Last month's Oscar nominations brought a few welcome surprises, with Nickel Boys receiving much-deserved recognition in Best Picture and Adapted Screenplay. However, the Academy frequently garners too many congratulations for nominating great films just to push them aside come awards night. Another surprise was I’m Still Here, which snuck into a nomination for Best Picture on top of its more expected selections in Best Internation Feature and Fernanda Torres in […]
Wicked In Wicked, animal discrimination is running rampant. We intimately experience this disaster with the case of Dr. Dillamond, a professor at Shiz University. The professor, who is a talking goat, flips a chalkboard while teaching which reveals an act of hate has taken place. Dr. Dillamond the talking goat professor is flustered and cancels the rest of class. Later he is arrested by human authorities and taken away, and […]
Your most annoying friend wants to go to the movies again and you already know what they want to see: an A24 Film. They’re seen as the independent film company, making less generic films with pretty images. A24 hasn’t been around for that long, founded only in 2012, but maybe they’ve earned this special reputation with 2017’s Best Picture success of Moonlight, and their reputation was further cemented with the […]
What Coppola is most known for, The Godfather, The Conversation, and Apocalypse Now, are all from over forty years ago. What has he been up to since, other than the occasional film and becoming more alienated from Hollywood’s system? He has a vineyard and likes to re-edit his past films, with there always being another version of Apocalypse Now (1979, 2001, 2019) to be made. He is dissatisfied with the […]
Civil War If you’ve seen some of the news lately, you’ve likely been informed about an election this fall. And if you’ve seen any news over the last fifteen years, you’ve likely been informed about an increasingly divided nation on the brink of its self-destruction, maybe eager for civil war, making each subsequent election the most important one yet. Whether you believe this or not is not the […]
With a rich, silky voice and the crushingly honest lyricism to match, Marcus King has made a clear name for himself at the intersection of country, Americana, and soul music. After getting nominated for a Grammy for his previous album El Dorado, Marcus King is back for more, with even more honesty and vulnerability.

With a backdrop of rolling hills, cicadas, and the hot sun’s final appearance of the day, I sit across from THE BAND LIGHT on the steps of East Iris Studios. There’s a cool breeze, and four cool boys sprawled in front of me like a Rolling Stone cover from the late ‘70s. They’re a fairly new – and fairly young – band in Nashville, but they share an air of […]
Few things bring Nashville together like country music and cowboy boots, and Dylan Gossett’s 4/9 Exit/In show is no exception. With a sweet and syrupy singing voice and an acoustic guitar to match, Dylan Gossett gave Nashville what it needed – some verses to belt in good company at a legendary venue. With Gossett’s gravelly vocals and emotional lyrics, it’s easy to understand how he brings you to tears. To […]
