The future is female… weirdos. Veronica dives into female-led comedies that don’t back away from the weirdness and the uncomfortable reality of being a woman – including Joy Ride, Please Baby Please and Mod Fuck Explosion.

Ironically, as Licorice Pizza’s reception started to spin out, what seemed to get lost in the crossfire was its own thematic focus on well-intentioned characters losing control of their narratives.

Dan and Jenna team up to watch what Martin Short himself called his "leading man years" – a string of movie roles that set him up to become the next big thing in cinema and never really went anywhere big.

Practically all of the jokes in The French Dispatch exist on a sort of intellectually tickling plane that are amusing when you think about them after the fact but not exactly hilarious to behold. It’s Wes Anderson’s at his most irreverent without ever being laugh-out-loud funny. You know, just like a New Yorker cartoon.

As a platform for alternative voices and takes on how to process this now consecrated national tragedy, Too Soon: Comedy After 9/11 proves to be an invaluable documentary.

The only way Robert Downey Sr knew how to communicate with his audience was to level with them. He’d undercut your expectations while openly ribbing your reactions, delighting in the intrigue of blatant overindulgence while acknowledging it with disgust and then forcing you to wallow in it alongside him.

Nikole Beckwith's platonic-romantic comedy Together Together, about a single dad and his surrogate pregnancy, is surprisingly meditative – honing in on social pressures, generational struggles and the inherent loneliness of navigating both.

And so this is Christmas… doesn’t mean Veronica’s gotta be all sentimental about it. Here’s a list of three perfectly hilarious Christmas films to bring you joy, whether they mean to be funny or not.

Matthew Rankin’s The Twentieth Century is like if Guy Madden and Ken Russell discovered a portal to the 1920s while playing playing laser tag against Monty Python’s animations. You know, your run of the mill biopic on a moderate Canadian politician.

Between women still being inundated with toxic ideals and Chelsea Peretti’s trademark style of acting, Spinster becomes a lovely and funny movie about how much better we can be when we stop trying to be better for others.

Tesla de-claws the myth of the angry male genius who is simultaneously punished and celebrated by society as a superior being. Almereyda’s Tesla is instead portrayed as a bundle of neuroses whose naive utopian ideals are as much the key to his downfall as they are to his genius.

It’s a meaty episode of Franchise Frenzy as Dan and Carlo dig deep down into a hearty plate of the Meatballs movies–the Canadian teen-sex comedy series that launched Bill Murray to stardom.

Onur Tukel’s The Misogynists tickles an intellectually vouyeristic itch by peering into the minds of people who were actually happy after the 2016 election. There is something cathartic about the film’s fly-on-the-wall approach to analyzing people through their political convictions–though the darts Tukel throws at the left hit much closer to home.

It’s dinner and a movie with Italians, American Style! Veronica mixes it up by providing you with two recipes to go with your double feature of Moonstruck and I Love You To Death.

Ishtar’s reputation stinks. But do you know what stinks even more? The men that undermined director Elaine May at every opportunity throughout the production, shooting, editing and promotion of the film.

It's fun, it's bluntly obvious, it's absurd, it's grating, it will make you want to sit down somewhere quiet by the end because your ears are kinda ringing from the sound of incoherent voices, broken glass and explosions.
