Andy Bookwalter – Jess and Todd were right, as usual. For years, my sister and brother-in-law (fellow NadaMucho.com contributor Todd Terry) have been praising this festival/anti-festival located in the wildlands of Carnation, Washington, despite the fact that we’re all too old and crotchety for such shenanigans.
Matt Ashworth – There is no subtlety in Civil War, the latest from English writer/director Alex Garland (Men, Annihilation, Ex-Machina). The film dives headlong into America’s charged political landscape, making it a potent conversation starter that has quickly become A24’s second highest grossing film of all time (after 2024’s Everything Everywhere All At Once).
