Bumped into the cast of ‘Adults’ on the bus (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I was on the bus this morning, minding my business & reading my book — Marlon James’ The Disappearers, the last copy of which I snagged at my local queer bookstore, where the employee said, “I bet this will be the last copy that doesn’t say ‘book of the century’ on it,” and we shared a laugh — when I was abruptly interrupted by an explosion of ruckus and voices.A gaggle of Gen Zers had exploded onto the otherwise peaceful and silent bus, but I am not a gawker
The vibes have never been more rancid (opens the original)
Read excerpt
New albums from ADELA, Rebecca Black and Ellie Goulding (yes I still listen to her — sue me) blasted in my earphones while I printed out shipping labels and began the process of packing up the belongings of my fallen comrades, something I ended up needing to get a kickstart on my own because the College Hunks I had hired ended up being delayed by five hours.

Salivating and foaming at the mouth, I tuned into the GTA VI Extended Look, which streamed exclusively on Netflix (for a few hours) before later dumping onto YouTube — and it can be logged on Letterboxd, mind you. After all the waiting, all the drama of leaks, the preorder announcement, the two trailers, the same screenshots shared over and over, the iteration of what the main protagonists look like changing over endless years of development and speculation — at long last, GTA VI feels more real
‘IT ENDS’ is the best representation of being alive today I’ve ever seen (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This year, as we all know, has been marked by the next evolution of elevated horror. Metaphorical horror from a new, burgeoning class of filmmaking talent. Curry Barker and Kane Parsons exploded onto the scene with Obsession and Backrooms respectively, expressing the anxieties and interests of Gen Z.However, no example of this in 2026 has hit me as hard as Alexander Ullom’s It Ends, one of the best movies of the year so far. And yes, while it has been through the film circuit extensively last ye
