130) GODFORSAKEN
(2020 dir. Ali Akbar Akbar Kamal) Date Seen: March 30 2023

For what it's worth, I preferred this to the PG-13 demonic possession found-footage THE LAST EXORCISM (2010). Even if it's not what one would consider "bueno" or "good".

115) MONEY SHOT
: 
           THE PORNHUB STORY
(2023 dir. Suzanne Hillinger) Date Seen: March 20 2023

Reminded me a lot of Alex Winters' DOWNLOADED (2013), only with banging. Lots of informative talking heads + I really wish they hadn't platformed those delusional religious people. Sex workers are vulnerable enough as it is without piling all that superstitious shame onto their shoulders. 


but the bigger question I pose to the documentarian community: When will we finally get The Porn Yub Nub Story??

114) LEGION OF SUPER-HEROES
(2023 dir. Jeff Wamester) Date Seen: March 19 2023

I love Josie Campbell's screenplay for this (who also wrote a large chunk of that awesome She-Ra and the Princesses of Power series) even if some of the directorial decisions frustrate me. & it's been a minute since I dug the character design + animation style of one of these WB home video DCUAOM thingies. Bulky vector-like outlines wrapping every figure up in neat little packages😍. 








113) LITTLE Q
(2019 dir. Law Wing-cheong) Date Seen: March 19 2023

a Diet Coke version of QUILL 2004 (arguably one of the best animal pictures of the Aughts)
