The Ugly Stepsister was a pleasant surprise! I didn’t initially have it on my schedule, but when a horror homie (Angel Melanson) vouched for it, I knew I couldn’t miss it. So, I snagged a spot in the theater with other friends who had heard the good word about the film and buckled in for […]

Fucktoys (stylized as F*cktoys) is a clever, sexy, pop-punk, grindhouse adventure. Writer and director Annapurna Sriram crafts a raucous fantasy world that is unafraid to play in its smutty little sandbox. It is one of those surprise festival darlings that reminds jaded filmgoers why we find magic in celluloid. The film finds AP (Sriram) discovering

Once the world becomes perfect, humanity must manufacture its own hardships and trauma. This idea is at the heart of Can I Get a Witness?, Ann Marie Fleming’s quiet and thought-provoking sci-fi drama. The film imagines a future where humanity has supposedly solved its greatest challenges, including war, overpopulation, and climate change. All at an
