THE RULE OF JENNY PEN is ā€˜Whatever Happened to Baby Janeā€™ by way of ā€˜Grumpy Old Menā€™ and itā€™s just as frightening and funny as youā€™d expect from those two touchstones. It gets an easy four stars from me. The film is out next month via @shudder.com and @ifcfilms.bsky.social šŸ‘¶šŸ»

This was my first year as a professional music critic, and Iā€™m psyched to cap it off by contributing to the iconic @exclaimdotca.bsky.social 50 Best Albums of the Year list. For it, I had the chance to highlight Magdalena Bayā€™s Imaginal Disk, which landed at #15. The full piece: tinyurl.com/bdhjf3kn

Donā€™t ask, but I just watched the 2011 Terrifier short film on Tubi. On a technical level, itā€™s worse than youā€™re imagining. But if you squint just a little, thereā€™s a vision hereā€”an uncanny, weird little vision thatā€™s more nightmarish and alive than most big-budget horror movies.
