100% agreed and I love the Jordan Peele comparison. On second watch, the movie Weapons made me think about the most was actually Get Out. The...
Scaled & Icy is a very modest TOP record on a song-by-song basis (it's basically Diet Twenty One Pilots), but it's fascinating to me as an album...
Got it. I mention the record particularly cause it tackles the same subjects your describing in a less smarmy and more subtle way. More...
If you haven't listened to it, Sinai Vessel's last record "I SING" is explicitly about late stage capitalism. Haven't heard a more honest record...

He could be exaggerating, but authorial intent doesn't mean something more profound can't be communicated anyway. Some of my favorite movies of...
My heart actually sank for him. Hahahaha.
On the topic of why Alex was overlooked by the adults in the film, it makes the most thematic sense. The story shows how tragedy turns adults on...
I loved that interview. He's such a great foil to Sean's intellectualism in that conversation. He just seems like a normal guy who's just happy to...
