My little Frightfest 2025 thread:
First movie was The Home with Pete Davidson. Opening the festival 🍀
Just remembered Shintaro Kago hosts a pooped theme film festival. I have to know these things, so now you do too.
Amazing thread on how Superman has always been the way he is, James Gunn only took his to his roots. And how history repeats itself.
Doing an interview about this on radio today as well.
Can’t wait for everyone to become extremely normal* over Guillermo Del Toro’s Frankenstein.
Just put my votes in. Let’s go Cannibal Mukbang!
A relaxing way to celebrate Bastille Day!
