Now Playing — Godzilla vs. Kong

April 5, 2021 Dan Seeger

Now Playing — Judas and the Black Messiah

February 16, 2021 Dan Seeger

Now Playing — The Little Things

Sundance 2021 — Part 2

February 2, 2021 Dan Seeger

Sundance 2021 — Part 1

February 1, 2021 Dan Seeger

When Steven Soderbergh picked up the first ever Audience Award for a narrative film at the Sundance Film Festival, in 1989, everything changed. Soderbergh’s film, sex, lies, and videotape, went on to be an arthouse sensation, and Sundance was suddenly … Continue reading Sundance 2021 — Part 1
