34: Backrooms
Sank into me and gave me nightmares. Simultaneously feel like I need to rewatch and Do Not Want To. Unexpected.
@24thdoctor.bsky.socialMerry Christmas everyone

@24thdoctor.bsky.social@24thdoctor.bsky.socialAbout halfway through the Flanagan Carrie show, thinking about the ability to shift heretofore straightforwardly evil characters into complex humans and updating the evils of high school for a modern time. Some things change, some things stay the same.
@24thdoctor.bsky.socialThe exsqueeze me hmm. I will be bringing my tissues to the front row
@24thdoctor.bsky.socialI will say if carbonation doesn’t bother you they have bigger sized carbonated versions of some for some reason. Kinda weird me out but untouchable in emergencies
@24thdoctor.bsky.socialMe and my 7 am Orange pineapple against the world OR 11 am crash. Very little to no in between
@24thdoctor.bsky.socialDO IT FOR ME I WILL READ IT EVERY DAY
@24thdoctor.bsky.socialI drink one of these every morning which is how I know you are so strong for going without. I would cry.
@bloody-disgusting.comReposted by @24thdoctor.bsky.socialSam is KILLING TIME until Halloween. Watch a brand new animated Sam short!
@24thdoctor.bsky.socialBest friend recommended me this something like two years ago and I’ve thought about it every day since.
@24thdoctor.bsky.social@24thdoctor.bsky.social@24thdoctor.bsky.social32: Littermates for #FantasticFest2026
Dark comedic post apocalyptic found family trauma bonding, anyone?
@24thdoctor.bsky.socialCatching up the thread so it’s still fun to update later!
31: Kyle Mangione’s Smith’s Compliance for #FantasticFest2026
Surveillance state analysis by way of found footage horror. What a time to be alive!
@24thdoctor.bsky.socialReally enjoying the symmetry of your physical being and the little guy on your shirt. In my head you’re both yelling “books!”
@24thdoctor.bsky.socialSmall part of me is always thinking about how much more money D&W would have made if they let Slash be audible in the movie instead of being talked over. I know people who would have gone multiple times just to hear it.
@24thdoctor.bsky.socialThe Squirrel is the Finnish Oscar contender for the coming award season, & it’s clear to see why. It may not land for everyone, but for me it’s an affecting reminder of how desperately we need human connection with nature/other people in order to thrive in a world bent on automation.
#FantasticFest
@24thdoctor.bsky.socialI don’t really know what there is to say about Sick, except that it is aptly titled and for the freaks. Almost made me lose my lunch all over my computer, and still I came away having had a great time. There’s something going on under the surface that’s slippery to pin down.
#FantasticFest
@24thdoctor.bsky.socialLittermates was a surprisingly successful dark comedy of post-apocalyptic survival that explores identity, trauma, and power dynamics in sometimes poignant, often hilarious ways. Far and away the most startlingly funny needle drop of the festival, as well.
#FantasticFest
@24thdoctor.bsky.socialCompliance was an effective found footage PR nightmare for our times. Kyle Mangione-Smith proves himself as one to watch with this tightrope of tension between helping victims and exposing corruption.
#FantasticFest
@24thdoctor.bsky.socialAll my #FantasticFest reviews for @professorhorror.bsky.social are officially out. I wish I had gotten to more, but I’m happy with what I got. There was humanity in all its strains: love (the Squirrel); depravity (Sick); found family (Littermates); and surveillance (Compliance). Check em out!
