Hold Up!

🎬 I'm NOT your casual movie reviewer!

I don't do plot overviews or safe, spoiler-free summaries. For that stuff, there's Wikipedia.

What I DO: I share my raw, unfiltered experience and thoughts on movies and TV shows. That means MAJOR SPOILERS could hit you in the very first line of any review.

I talk about films the way you'd chat with a friend who's already seen them. No dancing around plot points. No vague hints. Just honest, spoiler-filled conversation.

You've been warned. Now let's have a real talk about movies! 🍿

Week 14 Announcement

Zoey Deutch Movie Week announcement poster
Weekly Theme Announcement

Welcome to Our 14th Week: Zoey Deutch Week

Happy new year everybody! We are back tomorrow with a week dedicated to Zoey Deutch. This time the theme was not selected through our usual raffle, but because we recently watched "I'm Not Okay" and wanted to dive deeper into her filmography.
Expect a mix of dark comedy, thriller, teen drama and zombie chaos as we go through five films that show different sides of Deutch's screen presence. She can be funny, vulnerable, chaotic and sharp in very different genre environments, which makes this a great week to kick off the year.

We also hope to keep a steady rhythm in 2023 and keep sharing our movie watches with you throughout the year.
"One thing my family has shown me is that having a sense of humor is everything."
- Zoey Deutch
