Into the Dark: Culture Shock (Hulu)

Culture Shock at points is hard to follow. It’s starts out confusing, then becomes clear, then takes a surprising hard turn. For a while in the middle you will be very lost.

Midsommar… is not for everyone

If you saw Hereditary, think back to the last 30 minutes of the movie, then stretch that out over 2 hours.

There are a lot of shocking/upsetting moments that will stick with you long after the movie ends. Again, it’s beautiful though!

Spider-Man: Far From Home review *Spoiler Free*

Spider-Man:Far From Home does a great job of trying up the loose ends from Endgame while also advancing Peter’s story arc. We get a proper introduction to one of Spider-Man’s many arch nemeses (and my favorite) and are led directly into one of my favorite Spider-Man story lines. When he has to face the… well you’ll see.
