“Leave the World Behind” by Mac Quayle

For quite some time now, it has almost been a kind of weird tradition for Netflix to release a post-apocalyptic end-of-the-world movie around Christmas time. Somehow the executives there have this strange opinion that this particular film genre would be the perfect match for the cozy and cheerful winter holidays. You’d only have to look back over the last few years. In 2018 there was the woefully underwhelming, but very successful horror thriller Bird Box, directed by highly acclaimed Danish filmmaker Susanne Bier. Or the almost single-handedly made – and unfortunately botched – George Clooney flick The Midnight Sky from…

“Waves” by Trent Reznor, Atticus Ross

A rather small entry for one of Trent Reznor’s and Atticus Ross’ most abstract and deconstructed works as of late, their score for the 2019 film Waves, directed by Trey Edward Shults, known for his previous work on It Comes at Night. I decided to tackle this score when I found out that on the digital release each track was embedded with unique artwork – a feat that has been pulled off on several of Trent Reznor’s releases, such as the Nine Inch Nails instrumental album Ghosts I-IV, or the debut album Welcome Oblivion of his side project How To Destroy Angels….

Happy Stranger Things day! Today is November 6th, the day Will Byers went missing in the show’s first season and a good opportunity for me to head back into the upside-down. A few years ago, I had published a really extensive collection of tribute covers for the first two seasons, mainly based on movies from the 80s. After weeks and weeks of creative labor I thought that I was more or less done with Stranger Things. I’ve made just too many covers back then and there were not enough 80s cult hits left for me to tackle. But when I…

There was a time when I considered myself to be one of the people commonly known as Apple fanboys. And this despite the fact that the only products with an Apple logo on the back that I ever owned were exclusively iPods and iPhones. Nevertheless, I’ve held the brand and the lifestyle associated with it in the highest regard. Apple was synonymous for the creatives, for the artists and, above all, for freethinkers. Their products were excitingly different and always light years ahead of everyone else’s. I will probably always remember that sleepless night right before the delivery of my…

Netflix’s The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance series, which premiered in 2019, is a prequel to the 1982 film, The Dark Crystal. The series, which consists of ten episodes, is set in the same universe as the original movie and is filled with fascinating characters, creatures, and an intricate storyline. One of the most significant differences between the new series and the original is the use of advanced technology. While the original film used puppetry and animatronics, Age of Resistance uses a mix of practical effects and modern CGI. However, despite the updated technology, the creators of the show worked hard…
