viewI Love Boosters, Boots Riley, 2026
A psychedelic sci-fi treatise on class, labor and fashion served up by Riley with a superb cast having fun with serious politics. The film bursts with color, features Ray Harryhausen style special effects and has egalitarian excellence in filmmaking.
I Love Boosters holds a funhouse mirror to One Battle After Another, personafied by the two films' lead characters, Corvette and Perfidia Beverly Hills. Their similarities and differences are stark. Riley's politics and black woman revolutionaries, even in this absurdist kaleidoscope, are more three-dimensional and authentic than P.T. Anderson's.
Demi Moore has never been better.
See it in the theater.
Bonus takes:
– Academy, remember Keke Palmer at Oscar time
– The MC5's Kick Out the Jams is my needle drop of the year (so far)

viewKacey Musgraves, Middle of Nowhere (Lost Highway, 2026)
No mainstream artist has captured my fan heart over the last eight years like Spacey Kacey. From classic country revivalism, through excursions into disco diva, cottage core and electro-pop, I ride with it. Middle of Nowhere packages all the elements into a cohesive LP.
She adds more western touches like pedal steel, cowboy cornpone, and Mariachi to her brew, grounding the album in her East Texas roots. Mimicking that geography, themes explore expanse, isolation and the duality of joy and pain of being alone.
Most will herald a “return,” but for me, I keep riding the Rose Wave.
Buy it.

viewKurt Vile “Chance to Bleed” Single/Video (Verve Records, 2026)
Song of the Summer? It’s got prerequisites: A breezy melody, a chantable chorus, laconic raps and a great video. Peak Vile jam as the weather warms and pollen proliferates.
Greg “Oblivion” Cartwright supplies backing vocals and solos, his aching Memphis drawl unmistakable for us old heads.
The track is from the forthcoming album Philadelphia’s been good to me and the video captures a Philly Saturday night in Fishtown. It's fun, features Schooly D and other cameos you can google. You’ll be joyfully singing the vocal hook out the car window this Summer: “Old time, lo-fi, DIY, Rock & Roll…Nights!”
Loop it.

viewShoresy Season 5, Episode 2: The Great One. Hulu, 2026
See 100 Word reviews of previous episodes here
After the self-contained season premiere, the second episode slapshots the plot, skating most characters back into action. We even get a phone call from Sanguinet, whom we haven’t seen since season three. Don’t get too excited, Harlan Blayne Kytwayhat is not returning.
The Blueberry Bulldogs’ league is shutting down, their barn is flipping to basketball, the Europeans are beating North American teams, and Shoresy is back in the television studio. Shoresy is a generational talent at banter.
This show is too smart to play the upcoming xenophobia straight to the net. Stay tuned. And, oh yeah, Wayne Gretzky.
Stream it.

viewA Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, HBO (2026)
Episodes 1-3 (Spoilers)
See review of episodes 4-6 here
Based on G.R.R. Martin's Dunk & Egg novellas, the chemistry between Ser Duncan the Tall (Peter Claffey) and his tiny squire Egg (Dexter Sol Ansell) powers this funny, bawdy, warm medieval sitcom.
A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms balances its tonal shifts with the familiarity of Baratheon and Targaryen names and Westerosi lore. Budget constraints help reduce the grandeur; money saved from a RenFair set is applied to bursts of spectacle in thunderous jousts and boss armor.
The episode-three Egg twist takes the story into more familiar GOT territory; hopefully, it brings the small folk with it.
Watch it.

viewThe Perfect Neighbor, Geeta Gandbhir (2025)
Nominated for Best Documentary Feature
A visceral ride-along to its obvious and tragic end in the ongoing battle between a local Karen and the rest of her suburban Ocala, Florida neighbors.
Gandbhir only uses police body- and interrogation-room cameras, court recordings, and 911 call audio to piece together the lead-up, chaos, and aftermath of the crime without reenactments, talking heads, or other documentary filmmaking methods. The result is like a ninety-minute Instagram Reel.
Beneath the crime-blotter rubbernecking is a brutally honest depiction of contemporary American life with its toxic stew of racial animus, late-stage capitalist sprawl, shoot-first culture, and inept public safety infrastructure.
Stream it.

viewTrain Dreams, Clint Bentley (2025)
IMDB Film Details
Train Dreams is haunting and poetic, capturing America when the old ways transitioned to the new. Bentley’s story is difficult to place on a historical timeline, leaving only visual hints, such as the introduction of chainsaws to logging or an astronaut orbiting Earth.
Logger Robert Grainier's melancholy journey allows us to witness the lives of those on the Northwest Frontier, from homesteaders to foreign workers to blue-collar philosophers to a feminist intellectual. Robert experiences trauma from white supremacist violence and tragedy from an unforgiving land. The film's message? Rugged individualism was a boondoggle that has always ensnared us.
Watch it.

viewSentimental Value, Joachim Trier (2025)
This Norwegian award-season juggernaut builds a universe within a family, their ancestors, and the good bones of an old house. Stellan Skarsgård plays the prodigal patriarch, a sensitive and selfish filmmaker returning to Norway to reconnect with his daughters after their mother’s death. And make a movie with an American movie star.
Trier shape-shifts tones, languages, and characters, crafting a layered viewing experience. Meta-awareness pervades the film, with commentary on modern cinema, the rise of fascism, and the liminality of art, life, and love. Not vignettes, not linear either – funny moments coexist with tension, sadness, and sweetness.
Rent it.
