I can’t believe we’re already way into September, because it doesn’t really feel like it. But I don’t really have much to say this week other than let’s dive into those trailers! It’s what we’re here for, after all.
Movies
The Matrix 4: Resurrections
Can you believe it’s actually happening!? Also, perfect song choice.
Ron’s Gone Wrong
I kinda dig it as a concept. Reminds me of The Mitchells vs. the Machines.
Don’t Look Up
I can’t wait! I find DiCaprio hilarious in roles like this. But the cast in general – so good!
Last Night in Soho
I CANNOT WAIT FOR THIS MOVIE!! I hope everyone respects the director’s wish and won’t spoil the movie.
Encounter
Riz Ahmed AND Octavia Spencer – my heart!
Birds of Paradise
This feels very Black Swan but younger.
Bergman Island
Mia Wasikowska is always such a good argument.
C’mon C’mon
A24 bringing the beautiful cinematography to the party again.
Mothering Sunday
I feel like I might have to read that book first. It looks beautiful!
South of Heaven
Y’all know how much I adore Jason Sudeikis, but I really think he does some of his best work in more serious roles.
The Guilty
I shared the teaser before, but this is the full one.
Witch Hunt
Again, I think I shared a teaser for this before.
Warning
The increase of asteroid movies is … disconcerting.
Diana: The Musical
This is so not meant for me.
Honey Girls
Eh … doesn’t look like the best production value.
A Cop Movie
This is a documentary.
TV Shows
Midnight Mass
Usually, I’d stay far far far away from this creepy stuff, but … the creators from Hill House, the cast partially from Bly Manor … I need to watch this. Who have I become?
Our Kind of People
It looks fantastic, but I don’t trust FOX with content like this.
Jaguar
Didn’t expect this to be about Nazis, but it looks really good.
Ganglands
Looks intense, but in the right mood, I’d watch this for sure.
Misfit: The Series
It … doesn’t look great.
The Equalizer (Season 2)
I’ve honestly not seen a single episode of this yet.
Love 101 (Season 2)
Again, haven’t watched the first season.
Sex Education (Season 3)
Feels like forever since S2 aired, but I’m ready!
Nancy Drew (Season 3)
I’m so ready for my Nace ship to sail.
9-1-1 (Season 5)
Okay, this is really getting a bit apocalyptic ridiculous here.
Thoughts:
1. Matrix Resurrections: I have no idea if this is going to be any good, but I’ll watch it when it hits HBO Max.
2. Last Night in Soho: I can’t wait for this. It looks terrifying and fun.
3. Birds of Paradise: What you just said.
4. Witch Hunt: Where do I watch it?
5. Midnight Mass: Looking forward to it. And I don’t know, but I’m glad you’re becoming a horror fan. Let me know if you want a copy of one of my books. You don’t even have to review them, I just want you to read them!

I think Witch Hunt is supposed to release in theaters on October 1, but don’t quote me on that! I’m dipping my toes into the horror pool, but I can bet you, I will close my eyes at any actual scary scenes haha

I have plenty of recommendations for films, TV shows and books if you want them. And not just mine.

I am looking forward to the Matrix even though the last two were disappointing. So I guess they waited long enough to release it.
Just saw Encounter and Mothering Sunday at TIFF. Encounter is quite good, while Mothering Sunday was a let down considering the stacked cast.

I’m still a bit undecided about the Matrix sequel myself. I feel like it can be great to revive something after such a long time, but it can also go really badly.
At least Encounter is good! I’m not jealous at all about you getting to go to TIFF screenings haha

I’m so excited for some of these!
