I collaborated with my friends from the Denver Film Critics Society on this little video about being a film critic.

Two new TV reviews – Fargo and The Curse
I did new quick reviews for two great TV shows: The Curse and the fifth season of Fargo.
View them both on Trashwire here.
Three new quick movie reviews
I recently reviewed three new movies and I have several more coming soon.
First up, we have Next Goal Wins, which I didn’t expect to like because I’m feeling major Taika Wiaiti burnout.
Next is Biosphere which is a small and incredibly efficient movie. The whole thing is basically two guys in a room talking, but it goes in some pretty wild directions.
And finally, we have Saltburn which I freaking loved. It’s dark, twisted, disturbing, and I was hooked right from the start.
As always you can find more of my quick reviews on TikTok, Instagram, YouTube and Trashwire.
A few recent bite-sized movie reviews
I’ve been catching up on new movies lately and created a whole bunch of bite-sized reviews for them over on TikTok and Instagram but I figured I would share them here too.
First up is Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem, which I loved. The animation, writing, and runtime put this just above Across the Spider-Verse for me.
Next, we have Cassandro, which features Gael García Bernal in an award-worthy performance that I hope scores him a few nominations.
And most recently, I saw Dumb Money, which will now go on my list of things I begrudgingly enjoyed Pete Davidson in.
If you’ve seen any of these movies, hit me up on Bluesky, TikTok, Instagram, or YouTube to tell me what you thought of them.
Favorite underrated movies
I’ve been doing a little series over on TikTok and IG about my favorite underrated movies and thought I should collect a few of the videos here.
First up is Logan Lucky, which is an underrated gem. This Steven Soderbergh movie features Channing Tatum, Adam Driver, Riley Keough, and Daniel Craig as well as appearances from several other fantastic stars. It’s really funny and I can’t believe didn’t see it when it came out.
Next, we have my favorite Mel Brooks movie, High Anxiety. This is probably my most quoted movie of all time—I say “What a dramatic airport!” at least three times a week—and it deserves to be held in the same regard as Blazing Saddles and Young Frankenstein.
I also had to include one of my favorite movies, Attack the Block. This is John Boyega‘s first movie and I was lucky enough to interview him and director Joe Cornish at Comic-Con back in 2011 when this movie first came out.
I also wanted to include an early Peter Jackson movie that has a small cult following but deserves to be much more popular. The Frighteners stars Michael J. Fox and features Jackson’s excellent creepy, spooky visual style.
If you have an underrated movie recommendation, hit me up on Instagram, TikTok, Letterboxd, or BlueSky to tell me your faves.
