    It would have been incredibly tragic if these were football players or basketball players

    But it was tennis players *shrugs* who cares?

    The 2025 Best Quest - Episode #2: Monkey Man

    I was kind of torn covering this as a 2024 or 2025 release but considering there is no way I would’ve been able to see this pre-2025 and the Oscars are done, sure let’s put this on the 2025 list.

    Better Man is great. I think it’s pretty silly to call this a standard biopic because, love it or not, they all have the same set-up. What makes a good biopic…

    The Brutalist

    ★★★★½

    The Brutalist feels like a film that doesn’t have a place to exist anymore. It’s unlike anything I have seen since I watched Barry Lyndon. Likely to get memed for its length and its (no pun intended) brutality, there is so much to offer in such a layered film. Brady Corbet had something special with Vox Lux that couldn’t shine through a lack of focus. But there is some special sauce in what he cooks. The Brutalist does often times struggle…
