- The Gutter MonkeyMarch 25, 2025A creative and unexpectedly exciting sorta-true story (?) about Charlie Kaufman's struggle to write this script.
- Rowan KrzysiakFebruary 13, 2025Interesting if not always enjoyable. Oddly the exciting bits are the most boring but I think that's the point. Oh, and what's worse than one Nicolas Cage....? 😁
- John RevelsAugust 15, 2025“I was starting to believe the reason it matters to care passionately about something, is that it whittles the world down to a more manageable size.”
- ConnorMay 29, 2025Chaotic good
