  ★★★★ Watched 25 Nov 2023

  An acid-laced bubblegum pop fantasy, in all the best ways. Fuck the real world

  Mad God 2021

  ★★★★★ Watched 27 Jul 2022

  Did I know that I needed a dystopian science fiction in claymation crafted on-and-off over 30 years by one of the top visual effects artists ever? No. Do I now think this is the only type of movie that should be allowed to be made? Yes.

  Mad God might be the grossest, weirdest movie I have ever seen, but it’s truly the work of a visionary lunatic. It’s the hallucinatory fever dream of David Lynch and Wes Anderson. It’s the 21st-century version of a Hieronymous Bosch painting—completely out of step with nearly all of its contemporaries, meticulously detailed, horrifically brutal, and a fucking masterpiece.

  Akira 1988

  ★★★★★ Watched 10 Jul 2020

  The cityscapes alone make this movie amazing, but its prescient themes and outsized influence make Akira not only one if the greatest anime’s of all time, but one of the greatest films period. Revisiting it is always a pleasure!
