Podcast: Tori Potenza on 'The Cremator' - Certified Forgotten Film critic and programmer Tori Potenza joins Certified Forgotten to discuss Juraj Herz's antifascist horror film 'The Cremator.'

Didn't think we'd ever cover a Criterion release on the podcast, didja? Welp, welcome back @theneonbanshee.bsky.social as this week's special guest, who brings us her latest sleepover favorite (no joke), Juraj Herz's THE CREMATOR. Oh the places this conversation goes...

Got to explore an interesting aspect of Cronenberg’s work, cult mentality and the many forms it takes.

Cronenberg and Cults: Science, Technology, and the Horror of Absolute Thinking David Cronenberg’s films do not delve too deeply into organized religion, but they provide an interesting lens into how a cult mentality can creep into different groups. In Cronenberg’s work there is ...

From VIDEODROME to THE BROOD and beyond, Cronenberg’s films don’t just scare, they challenge how we think about science, technology, and power. Read our latest article by @theneonbanshee.bsky.social #horrorsky

Why I Quit My Job With Nothing Lined Up β€” Sharai Bohannon Post by Sharai Bohannon

I had to start somewhere because I am drowning in receipts. Here’s why I quit though:

Freelancing in this field - writing about movies at all - is a tough racket. No one’s getting rich and most folks are struggling. If you’re hiring them, that should be your starting point. No need to make their lives harder.

Anyway, excited to have Sharai make her Fango print debut this winter πŸ–€β„οΈ

In our commentary for 88 Films’ HELTER SKELTER, @theneonbanshee.bsky.social and I go long on Ninagawa, girly photo, the power of gyaru and the Shibuya scene, Erika Sawajiri and β€˜betsu-ni’-gate, and much more. Still pinching myself that I got to be part of this release with a bestie ❀️🀍

As someone who has asked the question many times over the years β€œwhy doesn’t HELTER SKELTER have a good physical release?” I’m thrilled that 1. Now it does and 2. That I’m doing my first commentary track with my girl @blondekwaidan.bsky.social

DIE MY LOVE is a polarizing and essential watch β€” Moviejawn by Tori Potenza, Staff Writer The way Ramsey takes an unflinching and unapologetic look at women’s madness is admirable.

MJ's @theneonbanshee.bsky.social says, "DIE MY LOVE certainly won’t be for everyone but feels like an important watch either way."

#DieMyLove is now playing in theaters.

Shelby Oaks review – convoluted, lore-obsessed, overly sentimental Prepare to be sorely disappointed by Chris Stuckmann's soulless attempt to revive found footage storytelling in horror.

The Satō Vol. 1 boxset from @vinsyn.bsky.social has arrived and is - as expected - an absolute beauty. Feels surreal to be holding such a high quality release of some of his earliest films, and I’m so glad I am alive to witness such a renaissance. Keep your pervert eyes peeled for Vol. 2… πŸ‘€πŸ’•
