Send us a text WoHos! When we made this pairing on paper back in December, little did not know how well these two films would gel together, but boy do they ever! Zombies! Reanimated guts! Pet deaths!

Send us a text Hi, WoHos! This week we looked at Alex Garland's MEN. Yep. We did that. Mom was at first more sympathetic to Garland's jazzy style of filmmaking, but that didn't last long when we dove deeper into it. There is a lot to recommend this, but there is a lot that suggests that you may want to run far, far away from this one and watch CIVI…

THESIS is one of my favorite films despi…
