There’s a land beyond the valley of a nihilist’s dream and an existentialist’s nightmare. And it is that very volatile terrain where Trevor Peckham’s emotionally ambiguous directorial debut, Discontinued, drives us. Essentially an antithesis to the Primer-s of the sci-fi cinematic universe—an uncharted genre within the genre—films like Discontinued use the make-believe scientific advancements as a safe channel through which the films can hoist questions that are otherwise too uncomfortable to ask. Not many of us would be willing to put ourselves through a journey that would inevitably rile up our intrusive thoughts had an incentive of entertainment not been offered to us. And that is something the film has achieved with flying colors while making us look into Sarah’s crippling existential crisis.

"I saw it and felt something I'd never felt before." The easiest way to introduce this: what if someone made Ghostbusters gritty & real, like how Christopher Nolan made his Batman movies gritty & real? Deadlock is a sci-fi short proof-of-concept created, produced, written & directed by filmmaking team John X. Carey + Aqsa Altaf. In a world where the living have the imprisoned the spirits of the dead in a server facility called "Deadlock" - an officer there is having a day from hell. The film tells a few stories about people involved in running the facility, mainly the crew who round up the ghosts. The short stars Joey Auzenne, Langston Fishburne, Jenna Qureshi, Brandon Scales, and Christopher Newman. This features an impressive amount of world-building and style, one hell of a proof-of-concept for sure. A refreshing take on ghosts, too. Thanks to Short of the Week for the tip on this one.

With Corey Stoll’s Yellowjacket not making a return appearance, Ant-Man and the Wasp will see the titular tiny superheroes facing off against a new villain. Namely, the Ghost, as played by Hannah John-Kamen. The marketing for the upcoming sequel has been careful to keep the ins and outs of her character under wraps and really, the only facts we know for sure are that she’s a thief who uses stolen Pym technology that taps into the Quantum Realm to phase through objects. The folks over at Screen Rant, though, have pulled together the evidence to come up with a very convincing theory as to the Ghost’s true identity.
First of all, the character’s such a minor one from the comics that it’s not worth even looking to the source material for clues as the film version will likely be very different. For instance, the Ghost...
