DURHAM COUNTY
An odd Canadian mystery/crime series with a hint of TWIN PEAKS, homoeroticism, and hockey flashbacks.
If it weren’t so niche, I’d pitch @popheist.com or another outlet that does classic reviews

I’ve had this on my list for years, so I’m glad Brenna suggested it!

Those scenes are WILD (and feel like a completely different film)

Let’s just say: woof

@jennferatu.bsky.social and I begin our long, cold journey north with “Go For Broke”

@jennferatu.bsky.social and I are setting sail with episode 1 tomorrow

We don’t talk enough about the greatest wedding scene ever filmed 🎥

More! But also: it wasn’t that uncommon!

Get ready for THE TERROR with a historical primer.

Episode by episode coverage begins next week!

Review: The Pitt Season 02 Episode 9 “3:00 P.M.” The computers are down, the waiting room is heating up, and people are beginning to fall through the cracks as The Pitt heads into the back half of S02.

The last of the Crain children gets her spotlight in an episode that confirms what you suspected, but hoped wasn’t true

@jennferatu.bsky.social and I are dipping into icy waters to talk stoic British men and snow horror.

But first: a quickie history lesson!

Low key loved this film, and not just because the lead is played by an incredibly attractive out gay man*

*But it didn’t hurt

I feel like the nearest comparison in terms of scope and ambition is BABYLON, albeit with a much more obvious feminist bent.

(Not sure if that helps or hinders your excitement 😂)

Conrad and I found a lot to enjoy in this intimate, intriguing film

Review: Jessie Buckley Dominates An Audacious, Uneven ‘The Bride!’ Credit to writer/director Maggie Gyllenhaal: The Bride! is a big, bold unconventional Warner Brothers property.

Review: Maggie Gyllenhaal's THE BRIDE! is messy, audacious, and definitely too long.

But you gotta give her credit: she didn't play it safe!

Oh, and Jessie Buckley kills her triple role

The Black Phone?

@jennferatu.bsky.social and I were big fans of Hitch’s atmosphere in this early thriller

Oh lord

I’m convinced that’s part of its success - it’s fun and entertaining, but it’s also so easy to turn off your brain and just enjoy government agents who are half decent at their job and wanna do the right thing

Nice! I’m trying to keep my expectations in check, but I’m psyched

Can’t wait for this

Grab your own extra large coffee and skip pilates because we are going *long* on the new SCREAM

@jennferatu.bsky.social and I have kicked off our coverage of Jack the Ripper with a pretty solid primer text.

Our coverage of THE TERROR begins on Friday on Patreon if cold manly men is more your speed

So. Fucking. Well deserved!!!
Folks - this film is amazing

Drunk Don McKellar is my fave Don McKellar (at the @torontofilmcritics.bsky.social awards)

This was the *only* choice. So fucking good!

Lots to say about this entry, but for now it’s 🤐

What @brennacgray.bsky.social wants, Brenna gets

Let’s start with the facts, shall we?
