Anyone else who watches Yellowjackets struggle with seeing an actor portray teenage Juliette Lewis who doesn’t really look like her? We know what she looked like as a teenager because she’s been an actor this entire time so it’s kinda hard to ignore for me

New @spoilerpiece.bsky.social is live! We review The Penguin Lessons and Bob Trevino Likes It! Didn’t see the former but the latter is excellent as are its leads Barbie Ferreira and John Leguizamo. I normally like Leguizamo, but he’s the best I think I’ve seen him in this understated turn

Really enjoyed Ted Danson in A Man on the Inside, and overall I liked the show. But I wished it was more of a comedy and less of a dramedy, because it laid on its drama too thick, becoming depressing in just every episode. As a result it was hard to watch more than an episode or two at a time.

I believe my cohost @reelrecon.bsky.social was singing the praises of Mountains on the podcast. You'll be able to watch it on Mubi in February.

Rewatched Season 1 of Severance to prepare for Season 2’s debut this week, and even though I already knew what was going to happen my heart was beating out of my chest through the last two episodes. Luckily for me I just finished and the first episode of the new season is already available!

My first watch of 2025 was one I meant to catch in 2024: A Real Pain. Kieran Culkin’s much-discussed performance moved me — it’s charismatic and heartbreaking. But I also just dug Jesse Eisenberg’s stripped down buddy film about estranged cousins reconnecting as they process loss together.
