No film feels more ready for autumn than Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings. Turning leaves and characters that leave, take each other to school, fall back, and fall in love are what it brings (or bRings).

Hype over a film could be a form of hypnosis. After watching “Get Out”, this is something i noticed

In Maximum Rocknroll #394, my zine When Deadlines Become Zombies #10 gets reviewed

Posted on May 30, 2016 by Z.F. Thrimej

by Jeff Mason. I think this review’s inclusion of the words “shit” and “revenge” make the review more noteworthy, especially since this is the first time that I have ever noticed both of those words in a review.
