Super Soundtrack: “Midnight Mass” on Netflix

It grapples with the idea of humanity and brings up conversations on religion, faith, society, and small town culture in such profound ways. Some of the best monologues I’ve ever seen are in this series. It’s thrilling, and it’s horror, but it takes a methodical, psychological approach that is unlike anything I’ve seen in a long time.

Super Soundtrack: ‘There’s Someone Inside Your House’ on Netflix

This horror flick tackles cancel culture and white privilege while touching on the dangers of social media and high school drama. At times, it feels like it’s leaning a little into a ~woke~ teen thriller category, and it doesn’t work as well as other times. But all in all, it’s a gory story that refuses to let you go once it starts.

Super Soundtrack: “Sex Education” on Netflix [Season 3]

It’s finally back! Season 3 of Sex Education has officially premiered on Netflix. It may have only been a year-and-a-half, but it feels like we’ve been waiting so much longer. This bunch of British teenagers represent the most diverse, relatable, and accurately awkward group of kids on TV right now.

Film Review: ‘The Starling’ (dir. Theodore Melfi) | TIFF 2021

Grief comes in all of shapes and sizes. I thought The Starling took a very thoughtful approach to tackling such a sensitive topic but in an effectively touching yet humorous way. When it doesn’t take itself too seriously, it’s firing on all cylinders in the best of ways.

Review + Super Soundtrack: “The Chair” on Netflix

Workplace, dramedy, and satire might seem like quite the hodge podge of words to describe one show, but they’re all accurate characteristics of “The Chair.”

Super Soundtrack: ‘Beckett’ on Netflix (dir. Ferdinando Cito Filomarino)

Beckett debuted on Netflix today following its world premiere at the Locarno International Film Festival earlier this month. Starring John David Washington, Alicia Vikander, Vicky Krieps, Yorgos Pirpassopoulus, and Boyd Holbrook, the cast for this action-thriller is pretty great. After a car accident in Greece, Beckett (John David Washington), an American tourist, gets caught up in the middle of a political conspiracy that forces him to go on the run for his life.
