Not The Babysitters Club. Not Adventures in Babysitting. Not My Babysitter’s a Vampire. Not even Jonah Hill’s The Sitter. The Netflix original The Babysitter is brand new, campy, absurd and perfect. I must admit, when I heard Netflix was putting out a babysitting comedy, my gut reaction was they can do better. The babysitter trope has been stretched in…
Was there ever a month weirder than November 2020? After a presidential election that seemed to drag on for eons, the result of which lacking a traditional feeling of finality, this November feels like it doesn’t belong to itself.

The first month of 2019 is coming to a close and with its end is an arrival of some pretty exciting film announcements, first looks and tidbits. Choice Movie News may not be the most pressing film industry buzz, rather it is a collection of favorite happenings in Hollywood and beyond. Margot Robbie– and…
The following article contains American Horror Story: Cult spoilers. I think Ryan Murphy misses Scream Queens. Because what I saw Tuesday night– demonic, horny clowns terrorizing Sarah Paulson, a deranged and racist Evan Peters peeing into a condom, Chaz Bono wearing a MAGA red cap– was hilarious. The season seven premiere of American Horror Story: Cult was met with plenty…

Okay, crucify me: I have no interest in seeing Lady Bird anytime soon. Same goes for The Post and del Toro’s latest where the lady hooks up with a fish.
