90 minutes is all these three talented leads need to craft an experience that is as touching as it is subdued.

Anora is the best movie of 2024. I cried.

The forgotten classic DOOM game takes it’s rightful seat at the table.

Classic DOOM gets a 2020s update.

Monarch: Legacy of Monsters is not the most action packed Monsterverse entry, but it’s probably the most interesting overall. Hell, it’s easily the best written and does a great job of intertwining with the films in the franchise.

The original Little Nightmares game had me feeling like I needed a hug afterwards. This one has me needing therapy. So it goes, but damn does it go. What the first Little Nightmares did for greed, this game does for emotional manipulation and abuse. Playing this game was easy but finishing it was brutal.

LEGO Dark Space is intriguing from top to bottom, from it’s design choices, tone and overall concept. It’s a first person Lego puzzle horror game. It has a plot of sorts, it’s got a fun and diverse set of puzzles and it’s also legitimately creepy and scary. I was very surprised by what they were able to do with the LEGO style here.

When you have a great game, sometimes you just need to make more of it. So Tarsier games did.

Dredge’s second DLC has Lovecraftian horror meeting corporate mismanagement at an absurd scale.

I picked up Little Nightmares primarily as a Halloween game. Something fun and spooky. Or so I thought. Instead I found something deep, dark, beautiful and horrifying. This is one of those games that seems like a children’s game that is absolutely not a children’s game. Thematically, it’s one of the bleaker experiences I’ve had in recent memory. And yet also- some of the most fun I’ve had playing a platformer in years.

What struck me the most about The Cranes Are Flying wasn’t the brilliant technical aspects, or the smart, well structured story. It was the sheer humanity created by the performances and writing.

Yes. Dredge is a fishing game. And it’s fantastic.

The new and maybe? final Vince Staples album is here

This record feels like being impaled by a saw blade while on opium.

Dua Lipa went on vacation for four years (not actually) and now the suits want their money. They don’t want a prog pop-rave record. Give us the hits and a pretty CD to sell at Target please. Here’s to a summer of Radical Optimism.

“Von Dutch” is the opening single from Charli XCX’s album Brat, which comes out on June 7th. That is a record we will be discussing when it comes out for sure. And this single has me hyped.

So many drum machines.
