Movies! They're madness, for me and you. They certainly are, at least, for writer, director, producer, and star of "Me You Madness," (2021), Louise Linton. Deadly annoying and agonizingly pretentious, it still manages to remain the worst thing of all: boring as hell. Combine Don Jr.'s coke-addled mania, the inhuman sociopathy of Stephen Miller, and the screeching arrogance of noted YouTube critic Doug Walker and you get something approximating this bomb.

A mindless, directionless piece of dumb-smart-guy satire, this musical puppet show does a disservice to both forms of media from which it borrows so liberally without offering anything of itself.

Halloween 6 is notable for being Paul Rudd's film debut as brat-cum-conspiracist Tommy Doyle, and one of the last films of Donald Pleasence as Dr. Loomis, perennial thorn in Michael's side.

Carpenter Month hits its first true speed bump, which goes by the name of "Black Moon Rising" (1986). Only tangentially related to Carpenter himself (who received a story credit), this awkward heist film has a smattering of clever sequences, but never really coheres into a solid story.
