Dead Heat 1988
"Poor people are supposed to die, but the same rule doesn't apply to us-- we're rich!"
You know I was wary of this because of the focus being on two cops, and there is some eye rolly moments to do with that and general sexism and all, but I have to say I enjoyed it a lot more than I anticipated. There's great practical effects, which really shine in an excellent 'butchered meat coming back to life and attacking' scene,…

The Man with Nine Lives 1940
Mason was bi and had a crush on Kravaal there's no other explanation for him constantly being so okay with all the shit he was pulling, a real Dan Cain and Herbert West situation.
tw/cw: Nothing really.

Beyond the Black Rainbow 2010
Compared to Mandy this is way more of a slow burn, and far more abstract in it's surrealism, but man the aesthetic. It still winds up pretty satisfying.

Burn the Witch 2020
The universe of this is really interesting already, and the designs are great. It gets a little eye rolly in the sexualizing department, but it could be worse. I just hope Macy doesn't get played to be the possessive lesbian trope for long and gets more fleshing out instead.
tw/cw: Aforementioned sexualizing

Carole & Tuesday 2019
I really wanted to like this more, and in a sense I did enjoy a lot of aspects of it, but the glaring issues with its queer characters soured so much of what would otherwise be a really sweet, warm series. It's hard to take the overall message seriously when the majority of queer characters shown are either abusive, one to the point of downright being an antagonist, or treated in a way that's uncomfortable. You're telling me in this…

Unfriended: Dark Web 2018
There's gay ladies including a Black woman, there's a disabled/deaf woman, and the more grounded reality angle that this one took gave me the heebie jeebies.
tw/cw: suicide sort of

We Can Be Heroes 2020
This was real damn adorable and fun. I hope this will be what Spy Kids was to me to a new set of kiddos.
tw/cw: epilepsy warning probably?

Alien Xmas 2020
Everything about this was adorable, it felt very much like the old Rankin Bass specials.

Frankenstein Created Woman 1967
AKA Christina and her two doctor dads.
I do wish that her new dads hadn't made her beautiful~ by removing her facial scaring and disability because the message that sends is a shitty one, but overall this take was really interesting. Cushing is hot as always, but the ending made me lose it. Something about the abruptness of it and then Frankenstein just dejectedly walking away while the credits rolled.
tw/cw: suicide

A Creepshow Holiday Special 2020
This was extremely fun, I really enjoyed how bonkers they went with it.
tw/cw: racist slurs (when will we stop fucking using the word g*psy)
