The Cultured Curators

If I was in London, I wouldn't dare miss this.

An image from the film “Society” by Stuart Gordon (1989) Depicting dozens of bodies merging in an orgiastic flesh form. This is the act of Shunting

Meanwhile, me and my squad at the Rapture.

Banish With Laughter When everything is funny, nothing is sacred

Back in February I wrote about how constantly making a joke out of everything is destroying us. Been thinking about it a lot lately.

It's official, The Cultured Curator will be there in person!

Ariel baska. A caucasion person with chin length light hair, glassed and a crooked smile. They wear a black shirt with a layered patchwork of blue and green stripes atop. The image carries a blur effect adding a mysterious glow to them.

It was such an honor to work with this festival in celebration of disability in horror cinema. The programming is incredible, and the work of this festival and what it represents is surely needed.

My little Frightfest 2025 thread:

First movie was The Home with Pete Davidson. Opening the festival 🍀

Just remembered Shintaro Kago hosts a pooped theme film festival. I have to know these things, so now you do too.

Amazing thread on how Superman has always been the way he is, James Gunn only took his to his roots. And how history repeats itself.

Doing an interview about this on radio today as well.

Can’t wait for everyone to become extremely normal* over Guillermo Del Toro’s Frankenstein.

Just put my votes in. Let’s go Cannibal Mukbang!

A relaxing way to celebrate Bastille Day!

I'll play.
