Ice Cream Man
Kids are the worst, or at least that’s what Eli Roth’s Ice Cream Man posits, with little nuance or storytelling to find between its gruesome kills. Roth’s previous film, the slasher send-up Thanksgiving, worked in part because of its creative set pieces, but this film seems to exist purely so that Roth can see what level of shock and shlock he can get away with. But, at only 86 minutes, Roth leaves no space for developing characters or any tangible world worth saving.

The Dink
Given that it’s become one of the fastest-growing sports in the world, it was only inevitable for pickleball to be the subject of a sports comedy. Enter The Dink, a film which has quite a few funny ideas at play, but manages to run most of them into the ground until they barely make it across the finish line.

I was initially concerned that the show was burning through its plot too quickly, given the looming “will-they-won’t-they” nature of Jinx (Nick Offerman) re-entering Shyanne and Margo’s (Elle Fanning) lives, but based on this week’s entry, it seems that we’re far from done with this storyline in the grand scheme of the series.

Warning: This review of episode 4 of Margo’s Got Money Troubles will contain spoilers.
We’ve arrived at a strange cultural moment when it comes to on-screen representations of sex. On the one hand, there’s so many reports and studies of the younger generation’s aversion to sex scenes. On the other, romance and romantasy novels – of which Margo’s Got Money Troubles is adjacent to at least – are keeping book stores alive, and careers are made from influencers who traffic in the genre. Episode 4 of season 1 sees Margo (Elle Fanning) get her feet wetter in the OnlyFans community, and the further development of its lead trio’s characters.
