Do hairstylists dream of murder?

I am no beautician, but my BFF is and you didn’t hear this from me, but the answer is: Y-E-S and without a doubt involves a pair of shiny gold scissors. Would it be a true salon maasscare fantasy without them?

A Public Declaration of Love for Levan Akin

by Matthew Crump

Movies are life, 3D glasses are red & blue
And Then We Danced is the movie for you

Listen, I know Valentine’s Day is over, but that doesn’t mean we have to board up the loveshack for the rest of the month. If you still are finding yourself hankering for a complex love story, look no further. After watching And Then We Danced, I was so desperate to eat my feelings that I polished off all those second- and third-tier chocolates left over in my heart-shaped candy box. When I finally managed to pull myself together, I had the wonderful opportunity to have a telephone interview with the 2019 film’s dreamy director, Levan Akin.

Wyrm

Starring Theo Taplitz, Azure Brandi, Tommy Dewey, and Rosemarie DeWitt

by Jaime Davis, The Fixer

Was high school a good time for you? Were you like, the most popular? Did you have a ton of friends? Did you have something to do every Saturday night? A boyfriend or girlfriend or partner to do something with every Saturday night? Did you ever feel pressure to be like everyone else? To do things that others did? Keep up and be on their level? I guarantee that even if you were über popular in high school or didn’t feel the need to be a lemming, you still struggled in some way, didn’t have everything figured out. For Wyrm, high school is proving difficult for him - he’s gangly and awkward and a bit on the quieter side. In ordinary life this would be manageable in some way, but in the unique satirical world of Wyrm the movie, it’s much worse.
