why say it's a mix of lynch, cronenberg and whoever else when you can just say that shit's dope 🍒
90s, witches, neons, bisexuals, cats, sex, gore, faceless creatures - all of my favorite things

90's!📼 Witches!🔮 Gore!🩸Movies!🎥 Los Angeles!🌴 Correctly identifying cats as demonic creatures!🐈
This is so intensely my shit but unfortunetly it features all those elements I love without really exploring them. We are told it's Los Angeles and the 90's but we only feel that in few moments. And there was really no reason for this to be eight episode long mini series, it could easily be shorter which would have tremendously improved the pacing. The sleazy producer scenes feel off, they are goofy in a different way than the rest of the show, and on top of that they are really dull.
The protagonist played by non-eccentric variant of Aubrey Plaza Rosa Salazar is fine but she isn't very interesting…

Now that I've seen this movie, I am certain all the expressions on Alita's face in the Robert Rodriguez movie and also starring Rosa Salazar wasn't digitally enhanced but all organic. The actress pulled like eleven expressions with her face per second in every scene.
I wasn't a big fan of this Netflix series, as you can see by my (shocking? Mark clearly thinks so) rating. The main reason for this is that this is not a show that ultimately felt interested in telling a story, but in simply being weird. Lynch and A24's new wave of weird movies obviously had a big influence on this series, but the problem is that while they rely heavily on the bizarre, at…

If you're into chaotic bisexuality, body horror, witchcraft, and kittens, then oh boy are you in for a treat

- Netflix content warningIf you were hoping for a fantastic 90's-set, hard-R series and were let down by Fear Street, your wish has been granted.
I would have had NO clue, even with all the Netflix notifications and recommendations I get, if a fellow friend hadn't caught this as well and posted this review today.
The odd but intriguingly titled Brand New Cherry Flavor, a brand new limited series on Netflix, is just phenomenal. This seriously brings back memories of a Friday night in 2016 when I randomly put on Stranger Things and binged most of the episodes until 2am thinking "this is fantastic." That's pretty much the vibe I had…

Halfway through the binge-inducing Brand New Cherry Flavor that will taste more familiar to fans of Hollyweird epics like Under The Silver Lake or Twin Peaks: The Return. The erotic body horror was some of the juiciest I've seen since Cronenberg in the nineties. Hard to say where this will all lead, but I'm having fun watching the cast normalize the most bizarre and grotesque happenings. A breakout role for Rosa Salazar (Alita: Battle Angel).
Review score for parts 1-4 is 8.2/10

A bit of Cronenberg, a bit of Lynch served with a small helping of Refn for all of the glossy, surreal neon weirdness you need. The setting of L.A. in the 90’s has this nightmarish, grungy witchiness that really shines through and makes you feel dirty and uncomfortable while watching.
Rosa Salazar and Catherine Keener are just on point perfection here. Both performances were incredibly captivating.
I’m impressed, I really didn’t go in with high expectations and this exceeded anything I thought it would be.
Also, kittens. 🥰

Wild stuff! A Hollywood nightmare. Filmmaking, black magic, body horror, sex and drugs! Super weird and sexy. Netflix's apology for the toothless Fear Street films everyone was watching a month ago. Makes sense that no one's talking about this.

One of the most fucked up shows on netflix. Not perfect , It loses its spark as it goes out, starting strong and getting weak, but I liked its ideas and was entertaining nevertheless but it's gory, has a woman throwing up kittens, zombies. Wierd stuff.

If it was self defense why did she have to eat him?
Batshit crazy, fun fun fun , bangin soundtrack .. trippy & unpredictable spooky weirdness 🔥🔥👻👻🎉🎉
If you liked season 4 of channel zero (the dream door) absolutely check this out - same creators & I think that was the best season of that anyways .. but definitely the same crazy vibes - and vice versa on this to that -
"This bitch just puked a cat!"
Oh, my god, Brand New Cherry Flavor is the kind of limited series that I'm down with. Witches, Hollywood douchebags, feral cats chowing down on coyote corpses and kittens getting thrown up almost once an episode, what more could I want? I liked Rosa Salazar before, but I have a newfound respect for her now and Catherine Keener is fantastic as the witch who reminds me just a tad too much of my aunt who passed this past May. If you have any interest at all in half of what I review on here, check this puppy out.
