Is this week a Fifth Tuesday? Is Saltburn (2023) a horror movie? Spookies, those questions are more for you than for us — but we do have a lot to say this week. Like, A LOT. Somehow, without really meaning to, we accidentally talked for almost three whole hours about Emerald Fennell’s newest film (and actually, if you count the bits that we cut out, we really talked for even longer). But, hey, if you’ve heard anything at all about the 2006-era flick starring Barry Keoghan and Jacob Elordi, then you know that conversation is just one of the many things it provokes. On our latest Spooky Tuesday, we’re discussing our first impressions, the Gossip Girl of it all, and that killer soundtrack, plus so (so so) much more.
BIG NEWS, SPOOKIES!
We’re getting a makeover!! Our new official look is here — and so is our merch store! That’s right: We’ve got new art AND hats, shirts, and sweatshirts to match. Starting March 26 at 12:00 a.m. PST, our shop is open for presales. You’ve got until Friday, April 12 at 11:59 p.m. to get your order in, and we’ve got some very cunty stuff.
