Penn and Teller Get Killed
Quite possibly the worst piece of cinematic offal (rhymes with "awful") ever inflicted on a tortured audience, Penn and Teller Get Killed [1] is an hour and a half of eye-peeling celluloid agony. It was conceived and birthed in a rancid, mutant fashion around the time I was sliding into juvenile delinquency, and it absolutely reeks, my friend. Picture this: the cinematic equivalent of rotten gouda, the movie world's answer to sauerkraut left to fester overnight in boiling summer heat, swarming with flies. It’s like stained, feculent, rotting boxers. It’s so bad that bad needs a new level to sink to, a fresh nuance of meaning to emphasize just HOW abysmally dreadful this film is. In short: you could produce better movies while stoned on Benzedrine and randomly splicing episodes of "Gilligan’s Island," guided by the Fibonacci Sequence. The outcome would still make more sense.

Scarlett Johansson Has 1 MCU Regret. AI-Generated.
In order to make up for the actress's one regret as the role, I hope Scarlett Johansson's recent return for a Marvel Cinematic Universe project will eventually lead to a Black Widow appearance. One of the celebrities who contributed to the MCU becoming the massive franchise that it is today is Johansson. The actress starred in some of the best MCU films as Natasha Romanoff. In 2019's Avengers: Endgame, Black Widow's emotional journey in the MCU came to a conclusion. It broke my heart, and Natasha's farewell scene was so moving.

Only 2 Episodes Of DC TV Have Ever Scored Higher Than The Penguin's Best One. AI-Generated.
Warning! This post contains SPOILERS for The Penguin episode 4. The Penguin on HBO is popular with both reviewers and viewers. Originally created in The Batman, the series centers on a reinvented version of the same-named villain. The Penguin, who goes by Oz Cobb in this iteration, is attempting to consolidate and expand his control over Gotham's criminal underworld. The show is more of a crime series like The Sopranos than a superhero adaption. Rotten Tomatoes gives its episodes an average rating of 91% from viewers and 94% from critics. This pattern is maintained in Episode 4, which had the highest rating of the entire series.

Elle Woods and the Realities of Justice: Why Legally Blonde Still Matters
This evening, as we prepare for our internships in different places, I found myself watching Legally Blonde (and Legally Bonde 2!) with my friends. As an elder Gen Z, I feel it’s my responsibility to introduce them to the best chick flicks of 2004. My friends, who come from Myanmar, have often remarked on how this movie, released in 2001, still feels so fresh and relevant. They’ve noted how impressive the technology looks compared to films they’ve seen, perhaps because they haven’t experienced many Hollywood productions; Asia has its own thriving film industry and beloved favorites.

Terrifier 4: Will It Happen?. Content Warning. AI-Generated.
Will Art the Clown return to wreak havoc in Terrifier 4? Damien Leone's Terrifier 3 brought the already gory slasher franchise to new, disgusting lows. The coulrophobic slasher has served as the focal point of the director's entire filmography, and Art the Clown, which made its debut with the publication of Leone's 2008 short film, The 9th Circle, has since grown into a legitimate pop culture phenomenon. The Terrifier film series is incredibly famous among horror fans due to its straightforward yet effective execution, which avoids the intellectual horror of the 2010s and '20s, even though it may not be reinventing the wheel when it comes to blood and guts.

The Devil and Isadore Freleng
I mentioned before, in an earlier Looney Tunes story, that Friz Freleng does have an affinity for the macabre in his Looney Tunes cartoons. A big part of it is his depictions of The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, with three shorts playing out that story. But the affinity also includes an even darker depiction: the Devil. We have seen Heaven and Hell depicted in classic cartoons before. Tom and Jerry gave us the famous short, Heavenly Daze, where Tom ends up in Heaven after his latest chase, but faces heading to "the other place" if he can't receive documented forgiveness from Jerry.
