if you’re reading this leave me a 5 star review on Spotify and Apple Podcasts ❤️ In this episode I discuss The Drama (2026), the new A24 “rom com” by Kristoffer Borgli, starring Zendaya and Robert Pattinson.

“Wuthering Heights” proves that anti-intellectualism is winning, and critical thinking gets punished. Last week I broke down Wuthering Heights by Emily Brontë; this week, “Wuthering Heights” by Emerald Fennell broke me down. In this episode of the pod I give a (loose) plot summary of the movie, but mostly I analyze it and its role in pop culture as a test of media literacy and critical thinking. I...

An in depth review, synopsis, and analysis of After the Hunt (2025), which I gave 3 stars. My main sentiment is that this had an excellent cast, cinematography, set and costume design, but its weak screenplay undermined them all.
