LIFE AND BETH ๐คฉย
It took me a few episodes to get into Amy Schumerโs latest series on Hulu. Itโs slower-paced, more serious, and more deliberate than anything sheโs done for the small screen so far. This is probably why it feels the most personal. Come walk through Bethโs not quite mid-life crisis, which really might not be the crisis it seems after all. Strong themes include love, loss, and learning to be comfortable in our own skin as we get older and our needs change.

THE UNBEARABLE WEIGHT OF MASSIVE TALENT ๐คฉย
Somehow this film both gave away a crucial scene in the trailer AND somehow managed to deliver a film very different from what I thought it would be from viewing the trailer. I enjoyed this film immensely but it actually might just be a ๐ in a lot of ways. What made me choose ๐คฉย instead is that thereโs a specific exchange between Cage and Pedro Pascalโs character thatโs just so wonderfully delightful, it took it to the next level for me. Is Cage going to go back to making a shit-ton of low-budget indie films after this again? Probably maybeโฆbut itโs Nic FUCKING Cage and for the most part we’ll be entertained.

EVERYTHING EVERYWHERE ALL AT ONCE ๐คฉย
The last film that really touched me this deeply was INCEPTION 12 years ago. I am absolutely, positively in love with this story. I canโt recommend it enough. It was really EVERYTHING and I mean that in a serious โgo see it nowโ sort of way as well as the slang โomg it was everything!โ sort of way. You will be thrilled, challenged, made to laugh, cry, think deeply, confront your emotions, and then come out the other side a better person.
