SINNERS - Dir. Ryan Coogler

1st watch: 70mm IMAX — reminded me why I fell in love with filmmaking. Score on repeat.

2nd watch: Cinespia @ Hollywood Forever Cemetery — Ryan, Zinzi & Sev in attendance with costar Omar (Cornbread)! Didn’t think I could have a better movie-going experience than the last time. Hooting and hollering WAS VERY MUCH involved.

KPOP DEMON HUNTERS - Dir. by Maggie Kang & Chris Appelhans

1st watch: Streaming — humor, music, animation-style. Even the subtle k-drama references. I was on the edge of my couch the entire time.

2nd watch: Sing-Along Theatrical Release — 4PM showing. Lot’s of children in attendance. I sung & cheered right along with them.

LOVE ME - Dir. Sam Zuchero & Andrew Zuchero

Theatrical Release — animation and live-action crossovers are forever elite. This one floored me. Movie theater napkins may have been used for unexpected tears.

RUBY | SCAVENGERS REIGN | SZA ESSENTIALS (Apple Music playlist)

RUBY - by Jennie

ON REPEAT. Jennie emerges from BLACKPINK in her first solo album. It’s raw, it’s confident and genre-bends the f*** out of R&B, hip-hop and pop. Fader has an incredible interview with the producers of the album!

SCAVENGERS REIGN - composed by Nicolas Snyder

Blown away by how eerie, somber and wistful a show’s music could be. For a while, the music wasn’t available to stream anywhere and I could only find pieces on the composer’s YouTube page. And then finally it appeared one day on streaming after randomly searching for it. AND THEN I FOUND IT ON VINYL — Mondo’s stand at SDCC 2025! The soundtrack’s first physical release. I almost screamed.
