New Fiction 2019 – June

Godzilla: King of the Monsters dir. Michael Dougherty (2019)

I’m onboard for big character mash-up movies as much as the next man-child, but I wanna know a lot more about the titans introduced in this movie. It’s a lot of ‘em. It’s also one of those movies where so many people die constantly that I wonder what the movie is trying to do with the focus on human turmoil. It seems like the inevitable conclusion is a a society designed to appease the giant monsters. Skip forward a few hundred years and show that.

Tuca & Bertie (2019)

28th June – Tuca & Bertie is hilarious and weird, I love it.

29th June – Okay this show is even better than ‘hilarious and weird.’ Lisa Hanawalt’s voice is in everything. The focus on women’s relationships, on calling out shitty dudes, it’s all the kinda show we need to see more of.

Half the year already.

Booksmart dir. Olivia Wilde (2019)

I can’t believe we were watching shit like American Pie and thought it was good. This new generation of coming-of-age teen romp is so far beyond our garbage of the late 90s.

Half the year already.
