My fifth and last Disc Dispatch for October, Welcome II the Terrordome has me wishing more indie films today would have this 🔥!

MJ's @gennyradosti.bsky.social writes that WELCOME II THE TERRORDOME asks "what if, instead of a fantastical hellscape, purgatory is the amalgamation of the racial tensions, violence, and inequities of the 1990s?" Read about the Blu-ray from @criterion.bsky.social in this week's #DiscDispatch

"A NIGHT IN THE LIFE OF JIMMY REARDON is a fascinating examination of toxic masculinity and misanthropy, but I honestly don't think it knows that," MJ's @drhbus.bsky.social writes in his review of the Blu-ray from @kinolorber.com. Read the latest #DiscDispatch:

MJ's @rodeoclownjawn.bsky.social continues our SpookyJawn feature series and says, "The fear of a fictional killer doll eventually gave way to something more existential." #SpookyJawn

MJ’s @rosaliekicks.com just released a deep dive episode on @cinematiccrypt.bsky.social about CARNIVAL OF SOULS and Herk Harvey Listen/Watch here

I am so intrigued and encouraged by the ways distributors like Video Store•Age are coming up with innovative ways to reach audiences! Laptops no longer have disc drives? No problem!

You asked for it, we got it. Ken Russell's long-buried masterpiece THE DEVILS is coming to the Film Society Center for one day only. Don't miss this haunting classic uncut and newly restored in gorgeous 4K on one of the biggest screens in Center City, 10.31.26. Tickets: https://bit.ly/4Bos6Lk

MJ's Joe Carlough says "A movie destined for streaming, The Influencer Project is the perfect mid-afternoon film to watch twenty minutes of and then pay half attention to while doing something else." #TheInfluencerProject is available for home entertainment November 30th.

Really enjoyed writing about my favorite show for Movie Jawn

MJ’s @pronouns.bsky.social says “The Restoration at Grayson Manor makes it feel fresh by mixing in a psychosexual game of cat-and-mouse between an evil gay guy and his even-more-evil mother.” In theaters Oct 9, on Shudder Dec 1.

MJ’s @phantomcobra.bsky.social rrviees SLOW HORSES season 6 and says: “While not quite Mission: Impossible or the Bourne movies, the show is pretty action-packed. This season has all its predecessors beat for overall bodies, and surprise main character deaths.” #SlowHorses is streaming on Apple TV.

MJ’s @ungajje.bsky.social says “The Cycle lingers too long at its lowest point to be entirely successful. However, it reminds viewers how much fun a movie can be when it knows something you don’t yet.” #TheCycleMovie is available on Shudder and digitally starting October 23.

New! Episode Join @moviejawn.com’s @rosaliekicks.com in the crypt for a dissection of CARNIVAL OF SOULS, featuring a cinematic cocktail from @cinemasips.bsky.social

My latest @moviejawn.com wanders into the dark with new @shudder.com offering #TheCycle. It's a streaming offer worth a watch, offering better scares than some recent big-screen offerings. www.moviejawn.com/home/2026/10...

MJ’s Jill Vranken says “And in finishing Making Marie Antoinette and sharing it with audiences, you can see that Sofia was proud of her mother too.” #MakingMarieAntoinette is in theaters October 23, streaming exclusively on MUBI from November 6.

New episode of the @cinematiccrypt.bsky.social just dropped!

HEY PHILLY PALS! we got some FREE TICKETS! See WILD HORSE NINE on Wednesday, October 28, at 7:00 PM at Regal UA King of Prussia Doors open at 6:00 PM, seating begins at 6:15 PM Tickets here: www.eventbrite.com/e/wild-horse...

We’re screening this in Baltimore next month at Peabody Heights btw (Nov 12, 7pm, FREE)

Discussing ONE IN A MILLION, MJ’s Andrea Schmidt says “The filmmakers do an excellent job of navigating the complexities of familial relationships, as well as the personal immigrant experience.” #OneInAMillionMovie premiered Oct 21st 2026 at IFC in NYC.

MJ’s Shah says of LANTERNS season 1: “For the wider audience, I can guarantee Lanterns is a gripping enough drama to tune into, and the weekly viewership certainly proves that. For hardcore superhero fans, on the other hand, I’m unsure.” #Lanterns is streaming on HBO.

MJ’s Del Winters says “Death can bring out the worst in us, but it can also bring out the best in us. Sometimes the best of us and the worst of us just alternate days. Despite my reservations, Whalefall had me by the tear ducts at the end.” #Whalefall is in theaters now.

MJ’s Liz Ruse says “Somehow, Fielder and Oppenheimer made one of the greatest documentaries of all time, and shockingly, it's about a woman as peculiar as Elizabeth Holmes.” #YouCanSeeEverything is in theaters now.

Tonight! Don’t you wanna see a creepy movie, to gaze up at George C. Scott’s glowering visage, to see what’s going on in that old mansion? C’mon and watch The Changeling, where I’ll be slingin’ zines in the lobby and introducing the film.

Catch THE CHANGELING at Oaks Center Cinema at 7pm on Thursday with a special introduction from @revengeoftrashboy.bsky.social Tickets availabe here: www.oakscenter.net/movie/the-ch...

This movie is still among the best when it comes to adapting the tone of a video game into a film. In this piece, I explore what that means and how the practical work makes it happen.

There’s nothing like coming home to zine mail on a Friday. 💕 (Got some @moviejawn.com in this fat stack 🔥)

MJ's @murphofilmo.bsky.social continues the feature column, Video Game: The Movie and says, "SILENT HILL does an excellent job of making every one of its monsters unnerving, adding to the horror of its environment and scenario." #silenthill #videogame

Next week on the Hate Watch/Great Watch Podcast, we'll be talking about Ana Lily Amirpour's A GIRL WALKS HOME ALONE AT NIGHT (2014)! Visit our linktree for where to watch the flick, then next week to listen via @moviejawn.com or anywhere you get podcasts! 🎥🎦📽🎞🎬🎟🍿 #filmsky #moviesky #analilyamirpour

This just in: I loved BUNNY YEAGER'S NUDE CAMERA! NUDE LAS VEGAS? Less so!

In his review of the @criterion.bsky.social 4K release, MJ's @drhbus.bsky.social writes that "THE BLADE captures a chaos that most martial arts films, but especially of the wuxia variety, typically lack."

"These films’ simple yet meandering narratives, built around footage of cheesecake models and resort towns, are driven by Bunny Yeager’s problem-solving and ceaseless ambition," MJ's @gennyradosti.bsky.social writes about the NUDE CAMERA / NUDE LAS VEGAS Blu-ray double feature from Kino Cult!

This Thursday! Oaks Center Cinema! Come see me introduce The Changeling, a great and spooky movie. Slingin’ zines in the lobby beforehand if you wanna talk horror flicks.
