Mad God (2022)
Written & Directed by Phil Tippett

Some of you may not have heard about Mad God before, which is understandable. Even though its creator, Phil Tippett, has worked on big-name franchises like Star Wars and RoboCop, Mad God was a Stop Motion animated passion project that Tippett worked on for 30 years, a true labor of love that left a lot of weird horror fans, like me, waiting as patiently as we could for it to finally be released. It’s here. And it’s everything I hoped for and more!

Men (2022)
Directed & Written by Alex Garland

Alex Garland may not be the biggest name in film, but he’s worked for the past decade on a series of movies that have generally received critical approval, if not always box office success. I personally am a fan of Garland’s, from his work on Dredd, to the great visuals and concepts in Annihilation, and of course Ex Machina, Garland’s science fiction masterpiece that introduced me to the wonders of Oscar Isaac being allowed to act. So when a trailer for a new Alex Garland film came out, even an incredibly vague trailer, of course, I was quite hyped. After a series of scheduling conflicts stopped me from seeing it sooner, I’ve finally gone out and experienced the latest Garland weirdness, so I can now judge whether it stands up to his previous films. And the answer is a resounding ‘kinda?’.
