Impossible - The Final Reckoning" A Cavalcade of Stars & Spectacle - The Fandomentals

1 week ago | thefandomentals.com | Jeremiah Sherman

Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning may have its issues, but it’s still as edge-of-your-seat, gorgeously and hauntingly filmed as it’s ever been, with an ever-evolving and expanding cast of characters. While it may stumble from time to time, laboriously making sure everyone is caught up, it never veers off into outright boredom. Or maybe I’m such a mark for Hayley Atwell that I don’t care. Who knows?

'Clown in a Cornfield' Is More Fun Than Scary

2 weeks ago | thefandomentals.com | Jeremiah Sherman

From its title, Clown in a Cornfield sounds like something you’d see scrolling through Tubi. This is not a knock on films found on Tubi, a seriously rich trove of schlock and classics that puts most streaming services to shame. Eli Craig’s third feature is much like his debut, the cult classic Tucker and Dale vs Evil. A movie long on gore, but big on heart and wit.
"A Weird And Entertaining Dance of Theory": How SoulMuppet Publishing Turned Demon Hunting Into Anti-Capitalist Organization In Mad As Hell

3 weeks ago | thefandomentals.com | Dan Arndt

It’s an angry time right now. Rights being taken away, minorities under threat, and every day it seems we wake up to some new horror that threatens what joy we’ve been able to carve out. And the worst part is that the evil that creates these horrors is often intangible, systemic, and so vast that it feels like challenging them is impossible. But you’re not alone as you think.

'The Surfer' Catches Some Waves But Never Finds the Big One

3 weeks ago | thefandomentals.com | Jeremiah Sherman

The Surfer is an effective movie, filled with a visceral and tactile aesthetic that will leave you squirming in your seat. However, once the movie is over, the mood evaporates. It never gets under your skin and sticks to your insides. Still, Lorc Finnegan has made a gorgeous, sumptuous, and for the most part, riveting film about toxic masculinity.

1 month ago | thefandomentals.com | Dan Arndt

Continuing from the first part of our interview, TTRPG designer and screenwriter Banana Chan (Van Richten’s Guide To Ravenloft, Jiangshi: Blood in the Banquet Hall) and I dig deeper into the strange — and a little gross — way she created a new form of fashionable horror in her solo TTRPG Knockoff. Dan Arndt: One thing I really like about it is that, you know, so, Forge is set in 2023 New York, Knockoff is I think a similar setting. Banana Chan: Oh yeah, 2024. New York 2024 Fashion Week.
