May 1: May 2023’s Best Streaming Titles: Freaks & Geeks, Parasite, Speed, The Last Unicorn, Demon Slayer

High school hilarity, Korean suspense, Keanu Reeves, melancholy fantasy, action-packed anime, and more.

May 2: Imagining Wes Anderson’s Star Wars with AI

The trailer works as well as it does because of Anderson’s easily identifiable — and easily replicable — aesthetic.

May 2: Watch the First Trailer for Michael Jai White’s The Outlaw Johnny Black

Sure to be the best “faith-based Western black exploitation kung fu action romantic comedy drama” of all time.

May 4: Review Roundup: James Gunn’s Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3

Critics respond to James Gunn’s final outing with Star-Lord, Rocket, and the rest of the Guardians.

May 5: Airiel Perform on Audiotree, Announce Winks & Kisses 20th Anniversary Deluxe Edition

It’s amazing just how good the Chicago shoegazers still sound after 20+ years.

May 5: The “American Football” House Has Been Saved For Future Emo Generations

The new owners include members of American Football and Polyvinyl Records.

May 6: “The Next Phase” Allowed The Next Generation to Explore Death and the Afterlife

With all of the requisite technobabble, of course.

May 16: Paeans by Aarktica (Review)

Aarktica’s eleventh album is characterized by a peaceful, contemplative interplay between guitar, cello, and viola.

May 20: New Subscriber Playlist: “Twee AF”

This month’s subscriber-only playlist and podcast episode explore twee’s earnest heartache.

May 24: My Favorite Tropes

No matter how many times I see them, they’re always satisfying.

May 25: BMW Films Presents The Calm Starring Pom Klementieff

I suppose that technically, it’s a car commercial. But that doesn’t detract from its coolness one bit.

May 27: New Music From The Mary Onettes

One of Sweden’s finest bands have released four new songs this year.
