Possession(1981) is the first, and only, English language film directed byAndrzej Zulawski. Despite widespread praise, a Palme d’Or nomination and a Best Actress win at Cannes forIsabelle Adjani, it was unfairly maligned and demonized for reasons that were never made explicit.This led to a place on the ‘video nasty’ list. Whilst a place on this list could act as a death sentence for films, it has also become something of a badge of honor for horror fans to seek out these nasty flicks, penalized for their portrayals of sex, gore and violence....

Editor’s note: The below contains spoilers for the And Just Like That Season 3 premiere.And Just Like That…had a lot working against it from the beginning, including needing to appeal to the cult following and fandom culture that rose in the years sinceSex and the City’s original series finale aired. Within the show’s social ecosystem, Charlotte York (Kristin Davis) is the singular die-hard romantic. While the other women – Carrie (Sarah Jessica Parker), Miranda (Cynthia Nixon), and the now-absent Samantha (Kim Cattrall) – go through the highs and lows of various relationships, Charlotte is the most consistent in her identity....

As you watch the film – which opens this weekend in theaters- I promise you’ll feel like I did: like you’re watching real apes on screen. While I could go on and on aboutAndy Serkis’amazing performance as Caesar and how he absolutely needs to be recognized come Oscar season, I need to also point out that all the actors involved deserve special mention for delivering outstanding performances includingWoody Harrelsonas “The Colonel....

In fact, afterGunsmoke, it was second in line for that cowboy crown, and in efforts to boost ratings and build a new audience, the network airedBonanzareruns during the summer of 1972, this time under a new title:Ponderosa....

Editor’s Note: Spoilers ahead for Deli Boys, Season 1 Hulu’sDeli Boysis a high-energy crime comedy that throws two unsuspecting and very naive brothers, Raj and Mir (played deliciously by the winsome duo,SaagarShaikhandAsifAli), into the chaos of their late father’s secret drug empire.
