Eraserhead 1977
My dad was on the phone with David Lynch just hours before I was born, getting Inland Empire for his theater. Truly an ominous start, isn't it? As if being the perfectly timed reincarnation of Saddam Hussein wouldn't be a scary enough prospect.
It must have been almost 6,000 days later I ever gave Lynch’s work a chance. The man unlocked something with Twin Peaks I didn't know I had. My entire film journey has a pre- and post- Lynch…

Now, he's directed Alien: Romulus, which is about young adults breaking into a spaceship before finding out it's not what it seems. I'm beginning…

The Substance 2024
One of my favorite moviegoing experiences was when I saw a double feature of The Monster Squad with The Thing, and the former’s star Andre Gower, in town on a tour of his documentary Wolfman’s Got Nards, got up before it started. After talking about his work on the first movie, he told us all an anecdote about how he went to see The Thing as a little boy in 1982, where his little sister made the family leave after…
