Next month our March madness is a little less sports and a little more creature feature. You've got one chance to see each of them in the theater on their respective dates and one opportunity for a long marathon of them in our upstairs event space. 🔗 in bio

Annabelle Comes Home. Idk why people seem to hate it. I LOVE it to pieces.

Something that doesn’t get brought up a lot is Children of the Corn III which is my runner up.

I interviewed Lynette Ecklund who worked on the mouse animatronic/puppet after a screening of this and she had a lot of great memories and stories of the film. You can tell people were having fun.

Awards talk for Dern being focused on her work in a Baumbach film when she’s doing better in the work of an actor-turned director that same year? It’s 2019 all over again
