Todd Phillips and Joaquin Phoenix Really Want You to See Joker Before Passing Judgment [Updated]

When it was reported that Joaquin Phoenix was either unprepared or unwilling to answer a rather straightforward question about Joker’s depiction of domestic terrorism, it suggested the actor, and by extension the studio, might have been uninterested in really engaging with the heavy subject matter being presented. But now, Phoenix and director Todd Phillips have…

10 of the Sweetest Moments (So Far) From The Good Place

The Good Place may be about four previously unpleasant people trying to avoid eternal damnation in the pits of hell, but it’s also chock full of sweetness—that every-flavor frozen yogurt deliciousness that shows just how forking awesome our deceased (and demonic) protagonists actually are. As Eleanor (Kristen Bell), Michael (Ted Danson), Chidi (William Jackson Harper),…

The Lighthouse Is a Manic, Weird Film and We Loved It

If watching Robert Pattinson and Willem Dafoe fuck with each other for two hours in black and white sounds like your idea of a good time, The Lighthouse may be for you.

Luke Cage’s Simone Missick Reflects on the Sudden Loss of Misty Knight

When Simone Missick received a call from Marvel’s television president Jeph Loeb last year, she thought she was finally getting a Daughters of the Dragon series. Instead, she was told that Luke Cage wasn’t getting a third season. It was the second in a string of cancellations that killed Netflix’s Marvel TV universe, but Missick…

Memory: The Origins of Alien Dives Deeper Into a Classic Than You Could Possibly Imagine

A movie like Alien doesn’t just come out of nowhere. There’s the screenplay, the director’s vision, and a massive combination of artistic endeavors from people who do the costumes, the lighting, and everything in between. And that’s the basic knowledge of filmmaking where most dissections of a movie’s origin end. Memory: The Origins of Alien…

Joaquin Phoenix Couldn’t Answer the Most Obvious Question About Joker‘s Subject Matter

Because Todd Phillips’ Joker tells the relatively grounded story of a disaffected white man who goes on a terroristic rampage because he feels as if he’s been dealt a bad hand in life, there’s been an ongoing discussion about whether the movie has the potential to inspire certain viewers to model themselves (idealistically) after the…
