With their latest directorial outing, Jane Schoenbrun used subtle pieces of nostalgia to deconstruct the slasher genre. The Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma writer/director explained to Deadline that they wanted to create “a mindset where you can really enjoy something scary,” noting the frequent symbolism of candy and junk food as providing an atmosphere “that’s actually safe” while diving into a horror movie or exploring sexuality after trauma. “There is this idea that if it gets too real, you can turn it off, that you’re exploring something dangerous, doing it in a way that’s actually safe,” said Schoenbrun,…
Warner Bros. Animation When it comes to the best animated Superman shows out there, none hold a candle to “Superman: The Animated Series.” For the best episodes that define the Man of Steel, look no further than this list.

Netflix is still committed to releasing original movies, despite having many poorly received ones. Many Netflix movies have been criticized by reviewers for being underdeveloped, and if this were 20 years ago, they’d be relegated to DVD release. These original movies typically fall under two hours and have a simple premise. Notable releases this year include War Machine, Apex, Voicemails for Isabelle, and People We Meet on Vacation. But negative reviews for a Netflix film don’t automatically translate to a streaming flop, and the latest release is a perfect example of this. This dramedy is peak Netflix, running 105 minutes.…
