Movies & TV

Every week we will post recommendations for lesser known movies and tv shows that don't get a lot of attention. Please feel free to add your recommendations too!

Applesauce (2015) - follows a pair of couples whose lives become a living hell after one of them makes an anonymous confession on a radio show, which draws the wrath of a stalker who begins sending him disturbing packages.

World’s Greatest Dad (2009) - In one of his final leading performances, Robin Williams plays a single father who seizes an unexpected opportunity following an unthinkable yet humiliating tragedy in World's Greatest Dad. Directed by Williams's longtime friend and collaborator, Bobcat Goldthwait, this critically-acclaimed satirical comedy plays like the warped, funhouse mirror version of Dear Evan Hansen, and allows Williams to tap into both his comedic and dramatic strengths.

The Love Witch (2016) - Emulating the style of 1960s European horror cinema, The Love Witch is a funny, sexy, and shocking story of a young witch who attempts to start a new life and find new love in a witchcraft-friendly town after the suspicious death of her husband.

Zero Charisma (2013) - showcases the life of an ill-tempered tabletop game master (Sam Eidson) who begins to spiral in his professional and personal lives after becoming consumed by his jealousy of his games' newest recruit (Garrett Graham).

The Act of Killing (2012) - A groundbreaking documentary that is not for the weak at heart, The Act of Killing turns its lens toward the perpetrators of the 1965–1966 Indonesian communist genocide, who have since become propped up by right-wing citizens and politicians as revered public figures.
