With Midsommar about to release, we’re turning back to an old pagan horror favorite of ours, 1973’s The Wicker Man (not to be confused with the terrible Nicolas Cage remake). Check it out!

We were able to catch Crispin Hellion Glover, who many know as George McFly in Back to the Future, for both nights while he was in town with his Big Slide Show tour, showing his films What Is It? and It Is Fine! Everything Is Fine. The show includes a dramatic reading from Glover’s avant-garde books, a screening of the film, a lengthy Q&A session, and a meet and greet. During the Q&A (which lasted over an hour), the affably odd Glover verbosely responded to audience questions in a loosely focused manner, tossing out an abundance of information with an anti-corporation twist while somewhat addressing the proposed questions. The evening-long event can only truly be experienced via Glover’s touring show, but in case you’ve missed it, we’ve plucked the best bits to share with you for your reading pleasure.

We were so so very lucky to get to attend the 20th anniversary screening of the comedy classic Office Space with writer/director Mike Judge & select members of the cast in attendence, with a Q&A hosted by Texas filmmaker Richard Linklater. It was a very special evening, full of laughs, dancing Miltons, and pimped out staplers. It was a true blast to see the film in 35mm alongside fellow fans and cultists.

To close out this month’s focus on romantic comedies, we’re dishing out 5 fun facts about our favorite little oddball RomCom, Punch-Drunk Love!

Since it’s that time of year when Punxsutawney Phil comes out to predict the future of our weather, we thought we’d lay some fun facts about Groundhog Day on you!

With each new year’s wave of films comes an array of new cinematic soundscapes, and this year has been phenomenal in that regard. Whether it marries perfectly with the visuals or can be cranked up on its own, a film’s score is integral to its atmosphere and overall aesthetic. At its very best, it enriches the film’s power by providing a layer of aural information that can inform the viewer on its characters and plot just as much as a the visuals.

In a sea of worthy competition, it's not uncommon for some great films to get eclipsed by the year's other contenders. There is, after all, a staggering amount of new releases each year, and some of them are here and gone in the blink of an eye, some don't even reach our local theaters at all. This makes it easy for a great film to go by unnoticed, and even when they do get seen, they don't always get the love and attention they deserve. Well, we refuse to let those worthy gems from 2018 remain unsung! 

While there were several exceptional films last year, there was also an abundance of steamy crap too. Generally, a rotten film can be easily sniffed out (like Gotti, Life Itself, The Happytime Murders or Death Wish), so some bullets were easily be dodged, but there’s always a handful that sneak through undetected. We've already shared our favorite films from last year with you, and now it's time to share our picks for the worst. 

In the twilight of Fantastic Fest, we were fortunate enough to attend a Q&A screening of Hold the Dark with screenwriter Macon Blair in attendance. It was an informative and entertaining post-film discussion filled with stories about the production, the writing process, Blair’s influences, and much much more.
