Cheryl Quimba and Joe Hall

Joe Hall and Cheryl Quimba watch movies then say things about those movies. They have strong feelings about Todd Haynes, Korean horror, class warfare, and how not to make a twenty-first century rom com. They"re basically Siskel and Ebert, but with nothing to lose.

Two for Space Jam, Please ·

2024/02/26

This was (obviously) a heavy conversation. We covered the banality of evil, the ways we remember atrocity, familial protectionism, gradations of complicity, small acts of resistance, and the practice of viewing present-day horrors through the lens of future generations.

Two for Space Jam, Please ·

2023/07/24

We didn’t expressly set out to do it, but we took a stance on Barbenheimer and watched Oppenheimer first.
