    Desperate Teenage Lovedolls

    ★★★

    This is a movie with rock n roll girls being bad, and my new band obsession, Redd Kross, does all the music! So, I'm saying this is clearly for me and maybe not for anyone else reading this. The McDonald Bros are in this, too, and are pretty cute even if they're playing bad guys, and the aesthetic is similar to early John Waters.

    It was so refreshing to see such an unabashed 90s-style summer disaster popcorn flick in theaters. These types of dopey movies don’t come around that much anymore. I could use a few more of them.

    I’m giving this one an X-Tra star for 4DX, BABY! This is the first movie I’ve seen in this hugely gimmicky format and it was a riot. I loved getting jostled around during the tornado scenes and the rest of the effects were incredibly goofy.…
