  I should get this out of the way first: I was rooting for Weapons . As someone on the frontlines of defending Director Zach Cregger's 2022 film, Barbarian , I want to make it excruciatingly clear that nothing makes me more excited than the continued success of a fresh, new director, especially as we leave the decade-long-era of theaters being held up by Disney. Barbarian is not a movie without faults, but for every moment it's lacking; it delivers promise tenfold. Cregger's directorial debut is damn good. I'm done apologizing for thinking that. This brings us to 2025, and Cregger's sophomore solo theatrical release: Weapons . Following a truly astounding and, by all measures, thoroughly captivating marketing campaign, Weapons would be unleashed in theaters on August 8th, 2025. With trailers that seemed to give nothing away and only ever draw audiences in further, a horror premise that, on the surface, could engage American audiences like no other, and a truly m...

  [Heavy spoilers for 2025’s Superman , seriously, everything will be on the table. Go watch this movie and come back to this.] With the current state of comic book movies, I imagine that average moviegoers have come to expect nothing more than a self-serving, spacefaring shenanigan-fest, an insufferable tapestry of bottom-barrel “comedy” tailored to appeal to younger audiences. I like these movies. I like superheroes. I’ll consistently give unwarranted grace to mediocre outings simply because I like seeing my childhood action figures come to life. That said, with every passing year, these films seem to forget what it actually means to be a comic book movie; what it means to realize these characters. In 2008, Marvel and Paramount released the now-paradigm-shifting Iron Man , a movie that, while not perfect, followed in the footsteps of Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man and Christopher Nolan’s Batman trilogies. These characters meant something. The stories they were used to tell were a...

Hey, been a while, I know. I just haven’t had much I’ve wanted to dive into that couldn’t be explained away with a tweet in a few weeks. Now I do.  It was Spring break in 2010 and Geezaws was 9 years old. I remember going to a store with my mom and rummaging through a video game and movie clearance bin. I very vividly remember seeing a copy of Skate 2 among the pile. I’d never heard of the title, the game, or the franchise, I was 9 and I really didn’t care if I’d missed out on the first Skate, to be honest I don’t even think it occurred to me, so I picked it up.  2010 was a pivotal era for Skate culture; it was finally breaking out of being a niche “public nuisance” or bona fide act of social rebellion, and started to truly commercialize. Again, I was not aware of this as Pipsqueakzaws, but the guys over at EA sure as shit were. I loaded up Skate 2 on my PS3 and played the rest of the year away. It wouldn’t be until later in 2010 or even early 2011 that I’d find out by chance ...
