ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER is a messy, savvy work of populist entertainment, and the defining film of the 2020s:

A game so good it pulled me away from books, movies, silksong, the new geese album, and online shopping

Hello you should play CONSUME ME!! CONSUME ME is a perfect work of art and one of the best games in the past decade!! There are hundreds of games that fail at the exact things this game does right, yet there is nothing else quite like it

Very happy to have this review of Hades II by Cole Kronman, IMO one of the most engaging and stimulating critics writing about games today (though not often enough!), on Kotaku. kotaku.com/hades-ii-the...
Hades 2 Review: A Fun Sequel That Takes Some Missteps
Supergiant's first-ever sequel is plenty of fun, but additions to the Hades formula yield mixed results

I chatted to a few of the creatives behind the best video art/FMV game/TV Network hybrid of all time, the weird and miraculous BLIPPO+. I think this is just about the coolest thing ever

ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER review will be up Thursday. It is not the best PTA movie or the best movie of the year, but it's very good. a few stretches are all-timers. it has both the worst performance of the year and the best. It is de facto the best American movie with a six-figure budget in 15 years

For @newyorker.com I wrote about the censorship of trans art. I spoke to many of my favorite artists from Puppies Puppies to Creighton Baxter, thought about strategic opacity, Amy Sherald, and whether or not we have had great trans artists.

The War on Trans Art
Politics and aesthetics have an uneasy alliance. Too often, trans expression is on the losing end.

The theater for my screening of THE SECRET AGENT last night on Brazilian Independence Day is awesome. Every time someone onstage during the intro said anything about Brazil the entire audience started hooting and hollering.

MADDIE’S SECRET is extraordinary, like if Douglas Sirk made TV movies in the 90s. My favorite American indie in god knows how many years. I got choked up just writing this review.

My @indiewire.com.web.brid.gy review out of #TIFF25:

Sentimental Value is fantastic. It can take a lot of restraint to make a good movie that corny. I’d happily watch it four more times this week

BLUE HERON is extraordinary obviously but the child performances in particular are really stellar

If you’re gonna put Isaach de Bankolé in a movie you have to give him something to do. You can’t just have him stand there.

The *other* Dakota Johnson rom-com, SPLITSVILLE, begins playing nationwide tonight. It is evil millennial dad propaganda. It’s also fucking awesome
