Good news dudes, bros, and bro-adjacent dudes! As threatened a couple of years ago, a new Boondock Saints movie is officially in the works—but there is a slight catch.

The temptation to use artificial intelligence instead of human artifice has come to haunt the film industry as much as any ghost. The latest title to come under fire for caving into this particular poltergeist is IFC Films’ Late Night With The Devil, a found-footage horror flick from Australian sibling duo, Cameron…

In 2024, the results of the #MeToo movement are a mixed bag. There were positive changes, particularly in that a decades-long culture of silence was disrupted.
