After 22 years on television, Spongebob Squarepants is just as popular as he’s ever been. That’s mostly due to the character’s classic brand of optimistic silliness, which is also what keeps his new movie from falling apart. The Spongebob Movie: Sponge on the Run is the latest installment of Nickelodeon’s beloved franchise, streaming now on […]
This month, Apple TV+ will release its highest-profile movie yet with crime drama Cherry. It’s the latest project from the Russo Brothers, two of the most successful film directors in history. This is why it’s fascinating to me that I don’t know what the Russo Brothers’ directing style is. These men directed countless acclaimed TV […]
Based on a novel by Scott K. Andrews, School’s Out Forever was the first film to be produced by the video game company Rebellion. It’s a film the studio hope to gain a cult following. Lee Keegan (Oscar Kennedy) gets expelled from an elite boarding school after one prank too many. This happens just as a deadly […]
For Love or Money was a movie that marketed itself as ‘An Unromantic Comedy’ as it attempts to subvert the rom-com subgenre. Mark (Robert Kazinsky) is a man who describes himself as a lobotomised hamster when it comes to women. At the age of 30, he is about to sell his start-up company for £20 million. […]

MacLeod is a composer who has an extraordinary business model: he releases his music for free in exchange for credit, or a […]
To say the story of Fred Hampton and the Black Panther movement of the 1960s has not been well represented in mainstream media is an understatement. We’ve allowed for this aspect of our history to be watered down and excluded from the narrative for the sake of easy consumption. As a result, there are very […]
Malcolm & Marie centers on the eponymous couple, played admirably by John David Washington and Zendaya respectively, who return home after the premiere of Malcolm’s latest directorial effort, to yell at and manipulate each other for 106 straight minutes. This is a deeply troubled, toxic relationship where neither party says what they really mean, preferring […]
The late US Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg was beloved for many reasons – her stellar legal acumen that helped bring about greater constitutional protections for gender equality (as immortalized in the film On the Basis of Sex), her often scathing (yet exquisitely worded) dissents that laid the groundwork for future courts should they […]
Up until it reached its (frankly, inevitable) ending, I absolutely loved The World to Come. It’s an utterly gorgeous film, shot with a keen eye by Mona Fastvold, and containing some remarkably still and nuanced performances. But then the ending comes and well, let’s just say that, as a queer woman, I could have told […]
