Boots Riley, you’re on another level with this one!

Gary & Justin went to see the Riley’s follow up to 2018’s SORRY TO BOTHER YOU and they’re excited to share their thoughts on this riotous, anti-capitalist, pro-worker surrealist comedy that’s truly unlike anything else they’ve ever seen.

Happy 80th birthday to the legendary Pope of Trash, John Waters!

In 2023, we took a deep dive into the early films of John Waters, covering the history of everything from his underground beginnings with MONDO TRASHO and MULTIPLE MANIACS through his mainstream breakthrough HAIRSPRAY.

Should we do another Waters series and work our way through the rest of his filmography?

On this day in 1990, David Lynch and Mark Frost unleashed TWIN PEAKS upon the world. And television was never the same.

RIP Chuck Norris — The world feels a little less tough today. Chuck Norris passed away yesterday at 86.

It is wild to think that just last week he was posting videos of himself sparring for his birthday. From the legendary Coliseum fight with Bruce Lee in WAY OF THE DRAGON to the pure 80s action of THE DELTA FORCE and MISSING IN ACTION, he was a permanent fixture for anyone who grew up on genre cinema. He even leaned into the “Chuck Norris facts” meme with a lot of grace, which was cool to see.

He was the real deal — a martial arts master who actually lived the life he put on screen. Thinking of his family and the millions of fans he inspired.

GOT A LIGHT? 🚬

The latest episode of Fire Shock With Me is available now for members of CinemaShock+!

This week, our journey through TWIN PEAKS: THE RETURN continues with the absolute monolith that is Part 8. We’re breaking down one of the most audacious hours of television ever created — a sequence that essentially rewrites the origin of evil in the Twin Peaks universe.

From the White Sands nuclear test in 1945 to the surrealist birth of BOB and the arrival of the Woodsmen, we’re diving into how Lynch and Frost used pure, black-and-white abstraction to change the medium forever. We also discuss the Nine Inch Nails performance at the Roadhouse and the “water and the well” broadcast that is still haunting our sleep. It is a dense, terrifying episode that finally gives us a glimpse into the cosmic stakes of this story.
