    Minbo, or the Gentle Art of Japanese Extortion

    ★★★★½

    Juzo Itami created what is essentially a strategy guide on how to deal with yakuza and they murdered him for it. It’s a well known and extremely tragic tale, but it reflects the film itself. Itami created a film that was chock full of his amazing beliefs and he stood by them to the bitter end. That man is a legend and he’ll always be remembered for what he did for film.

    I think the film nails the futility of these sorts…

    Love Mia Goth, Kevin Bacon, Elizabeth Debicki, and Giancarlo Esposito, they all did a fantastic job. I really liked the buildup and the mystery legitimately had me guessing, but the payoff, while thematically perfect…

    ★★★★★

    CEASE TO EXIST.

    The Curse is the most unsettling, disturbing, poetic, and bewildering 10 hours of television you’ll likely ever witness made by two of the most unique minds in Hollywood(Nathan Fielder and Benny Safdie). And if you know either of those men, you know that the show is going to be uncomfortable and incredibly stressful to sit through. 

    The heart of this show are the incredible main characters. You have the very ‘fake’ nice woman, Whitney Siegel(Emma Stone), who’s very…
