They keep making new movies, and some of them are even worth watching. Here’s what’s at the top of the slate for [MONTH YEAR]:
I Saw the TV Glow: Bonding over a TV show results in distortion between fiction and reality. You know I can’t resist a premise like that!
We will all be able to say I Saw the TV Glow in movie theaters on May 3.

They keep making new movies, and some of them are even worth watching. Here’s what’s at the top of the slate for February 2024:
Lisa Frankenstein: The title of this movie is my favorite pun ever. As for the plot, Kathryn Newton reanimates the corpse of Cole Sprouse. Diablo Cody wrote the screenplay, while Zelda Williams (Robin’s daughter) makes her feature directorial debut.

They keep making new movies, and some of them are even worth watching. Here’s what’s at the top of the slate for December 2023:
American Fiction: Jeffrey Wright plays a novelist who’s really, really frustrated by racial stereotypes. So he attempts to totally lampoon them, and the results may not be exactly what he was expecting. This looks ferocious.
We’ll be able to check out some American Fiction in select American theaters on December 15 before it expands in the coming weeks.

They keep making new movies, and some of them are even worth watching. Here’s what’s at the top of the slate for October 2023:
The Exorcist: Believer: I kinda wish that the horror legacyquels directed by David Gordon Green attempted to incorporate the continuity of all the previous sequels instead of just being direct sequels to the originals. But I can’t deny that the “I don’t want to go to hell!” line from the trailer has really grabbed me by the collar.
You will believe that The Exorcist: Believer is in theaters beginning on October 6.
