This week we go unda da sea, get manly with a Hollywood heavyweight, grow a beard and fight some zombies, wonder what more can be said aboutRoman Polanski’s"indiscretion", and have a peek at Satan’s wang....

Unanswered Questions We Still Have After Watching Squid Game “Squid Game” is the biggest Netflix fad since “Tiger King” —or, maybe, ever– but this harrowing nine-episode Korean drama is likely to hold a grasp on our imagination for a long time to come. “Squid Game” continues to haunt us with its blend of cheery children’s game aesthetics and abrupt, brutal violence, all of it set against same the backdrop of poverty, debt, and social disinterest that made previous Korean blockbuster “Parasite” so powerful to global audiences....

It wasn’t long until we all were willing to get in a fist-fight with god if it meant we could get our hands on adancing Baby Groot— but the success of “GOTG” isn’t just because of easily merchandisable characters, it’s because it’s a genuinely awesome superhero movie....

James will directApartment 7Afor Paramount Players, withA Quiet PlacefilmmakerJohn Krasinskion board to produce.
