  Angelyne 2022

  ★★★½ Watched by Chase Mitchell 19 May 2022

  Pretty wild that this would land just months after Pam & Tommy, of which it feels very much an LA cousin. (There's even a Hugh Hefner scene - hi, Toby Huss!)

  I was shocked how much I didn't hate this and how much story it was able to wring out of an unabashedly surface-level figure. Angelyne's backstory is tragic, moving, and several layers deeper than you'd expect from a weird old lady with a merch trunk.

  Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness 2022

  ★★★½ Watched by Chase Mitchell 14 May 2022

  This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.

  (Mortal Kombat voice) MUSIC FIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGHT!!

  Some of the worst CG work I've seen a movie in years, *especially* in the opening monster scene. Illuminati stuff ruled so much ass tho, as did all the Raimi camera swoops n' shit, and the Elfman score.

  Gotta love a movie in 2022 whose message is essentially "Mothers are insane."

  Pizza Poppa 4eva.

  Jerrod Carmichael: Rothaniel 2022

  ★★★★★ Watched by Chase Mitchell 02 Apr 2022 2

  Maybe the only time in history that encouraging the audience to talk back not only doesn't backfire, but actually makes things better. (Was this the best, most responsible crowd ever?)

  Raw, emotional, yet never not a comedy special. Even once you figure out what the "closer" is gonna be, he still lands it. Excellent.

  Spider-Man: No Way Home 2021

  ★★★★★ Watched by Chase Mitchell 19 Dec 2021 1

  If you can’t enjoy this for what it is and the sheer amount of stuff it *does*, then I dunno what to tell you. Try to stay out of the discourse about what it means for cinema or whatever. You can see big huge shit like this and then go watch Licorice Pizza the next day, and nobody is stopping you. I know because I am doing that! We really can have it all if we want.
