Saturday Night (2024)

“After all, this is comedy coming from the first generation who grew up with television. That might have been true in 1975, but if you're looking for any of that energy in 2024, you'd be better off watching old sketches on YouTube...” –

Bottoms (2023)
91%
“... If you’ve ever found yourself longing for a film that jammed the shamelessly goofy horndog antics of teen sex comedies and the surrealism of films like Heathers into a very gay, very bloody package, Bottoms is the film you’ve been waiting for.” –

Bride of Frankenstein (1935)
98%
“It’s no secret that monsters have always appealed to queer folks who see themselves in an “other” that fights eradication, and Bride understands that sentiment perfectly.” –

Do Revenge (2022)
86%
“While some of the film’s late-stage twists don’t feel entirely earned, Do Revenge is an entertaining, Gen Z-style update to the tart teen classics of the ‘90s.” –
