☀️ Happy Monday and Martin Luther King Jr. Day! Hope you had a great weekend.

If you’re new here, welcome! I hope this helps you find your new favorite movie.

If you’ve been here for a while, two small changes: First, themes are going to take a backseat so that I can recommend more great movies with fewer limitations. Every recommendation will still be available for streaming! Second, newsletters will be sent on Mondays and Thursdays.

Today’s movie recommendation is for my favorite horror movie of 2019, starring a current Oscar nominee. Plus, a guide for getting into folk horror and a breakdown of the wild race for Best Picture.

But first, congrats to my beloved Parasite for winning Best Cast at the SAG awards last night. Oscars, here we come.
