'Zombieland' is a beloved cult classic. Ten years later we got ourselves a sequel. A good sequel? A bad sequel? A sequel sequel that sequelizes a sequel that sequels more than any other sequel? I don't know, why don't you click yourselves on in here to find out?

I attended the 15th annual Fantastic Fest in Austin, TX for five of its eight days from September 19-23, 2019. Jojo Rabbit was one of the first films I saw. Releasing theatrically nationwide October 18, Taika Waititi is seriously one of the funniest and sincere filmmakers working today.
