Plus: high praise fo...

We're celebrating the 10th anniversary of queer director Ted Geoghegan's feature debut, We Are Still Here (2015). This is a quiet indie film with some serious star power (Barbara Crampton, Larry Fessenden, Monte Markham, and Lisa Marie?!), as well as great FX. But a decade later, it's the quiet depiction of grief that we appreciate a great deal more. Questions? Comments? Snark? Connect with the boys on BlueSky, Instagram, Youtube...

Plus: Burt Reynolds' lamb bone, squealing pigs, raping landscapes, and the poignancy of watching a grown ma...

Expect plenty of praise for Patty Mullen's (too brief!) comedic performance, talk of the film's exploitation elements, and debate about Jeffrey's likeability.

Mind the glass shards and mushrooms because we're talking Lee Haven Jones' eco-horror film, The Feast (2021). It's a rare horror film in Welsh (apologies for any mispronunciations!) as well as a capital M message movie, but this one has grown on us since its festival circuit run. Plus: colonizers, politicians and farmers, a slow burn en route to a Grand Guignol climax, and house porn...in the wrong way? Questions? Comments? Snar...
