I got the chance to catch the first six episodes of The Vampire Lestat, and they’re an absolute thrill ride from start to finish. Check out my full review for @GeekVibesNation below ⬇️

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but the new Vrach Frankenshteyn re-edit of #TheXFiles: I Want to Believe does little to redeem the film in any meaningful way. At heart, it’s still the same flawed film it’s always been. Check out my full review for @GeekVibesNation below ⬇️

If you know me, then you know I love Green Day. So, naturally, I'm the target audience for any kind of a Green Day-inspired film. Luckily, 'Nimrods' proves itself worthy as a charming (if a bit middling) coming-of-age comedy. Check out my full review for @GeekVibesNation below ⬇️

Run, don’t walk, to the nearest theater and check out the new #Hadestown proshot. It’s all at once a gorgeous capture of the stave show and a new gold standard for proshots overall. Read my full review for @GeekVibesNation below ⬇️

Happy 15th anniversary to not only my favorite My Chemical Romance album, but the album that had the biggest impact on me as a teenager. Maybe someday, I’ll unpack exactly how much Danger Days means to me. But until then, keep running.

I’ve been trying to figure out for the last few months what film criticism means in the Letterboxd era where people complain about one-liners while also complaining about critics being untrustworthy. This is where I landed. Film criticism still matters but we need to recalibrate.

Aw, hell yeah. The book was intense, and the movie looks absolutely horrifying in the best way. Long live this newfound age of Daniel Kraus entering the mainstream.

@DillonGonzales2 @GeekVibesNews @JessThanZero_ Four Air Bud movies is lowkey iconic. I picked up Cats & Dogs at a library book sale recently (where I also found Children of Men!) and it remains an absolute delight.

The current @NightValeRadio arc would’ve been the perfect premise for a fourth book and it makes me long for a new Night Vale novel.

@DillonGonzales2 @GeekVibesNation @sundancefest @homedancepod That’s valid. The last twenty minutes pushed it into the not enjoyable side than the “I hated it” side but I won’t pretend I didn’t get a little bummed I’d spent $35 on it somewhere around the halfway mark 😂

Now, given the dvd is long out of print, who do I have to beg for a blu-ray release of Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip?

I got a chance to view the ‘Merrily We Roll Along’ proshot for @GeekVibesNation, and it is an absolute gift for Sondheim fans! Groff, Radcliffe, and Mendez’ performances are electric, nuanced and heartbreaking all at the same time, and the whole recording is an excellent watch.
