REVIEW: ‘Ferrari’ is a mythologized and hollow portrait

Ada Sussman December 7, 2023
From the beginning, Mann’s “Ferrari” doesn’t hold any water. Though it tries to, the film can’t tear down the image of a man because it hardly built it up in the first place –– beyond a symbol of adoration and spectacle. The film’s classical composition and artisan facade just embellish the boring emptiness within it –– “Ferrari” is an impersonal failure at a detailed portrait.

‘Nerdy Prudes Must Die!’ is StarKid’s newest horror-comedy masterpiece | You Had Me At ‘It’s Gay’

Kal Hawley November 12, 2023
“Nerdy Prudes Must Die” is just as outspoken and hilarious as its name suggests. It’s the fifth installment of the Hatchetfield series from StarKid Productions. Like its predecessors, it’s a horror-comedy musical set in the fictional town of Hatchetfield, except this time it’s a parody of 90s’ teen-slashers, complete with the high school stereotypes and questionable horniness.
