    Curve (2016)

    This week on the Horror Agenda we cover the 2016 short film Curve written and directed by Tim Egan.  You can watch the short here. You can watch all the shorts we covered on our YouTube playlist here. We found it on Short of the Week (review here by Rob Munday) and reference it as well as an interview here with Tim Egan. This week Victor recommends Walden (2023) directed by Mick Davis a film about a stenographer who gets a diagnosis for a terminal illness and begins to get revenge on people who escape punishment through the justice system.  He also recommends the metal band, Ice Nine Kills who have a new song out (at time of recording) called Twisting the Knife featuring Mckenna Grace.  Carlos this week recommends the video essay "Peak Art, Peak Slop" from Jeffiot. In this video, he breaks down expensive slop versus powerful art and how art (and our consumption of it) effects us, putting David Lynch and Mr. Beast in conversation.  He also recommends the latest (at the time of recording) video essay from Princess Weekes "Sadly, Wuthering Heights Discourse is that Deep." In this video, she breaks down the discourse on the new Wuthering Heights and how it is that deep in her point by point analysis, her discussion of critique and anti-intellectualism.  His final official recommendation is Chronicles of Ori by Harmonia Rosales an artist who, in her debut book, does a retelling of Orisha stories as an enthralling epic.  His final recommendation is to get involved with your public library. If you're in NYC you can get involved with NYC PLAN (Public Library Action Network) to keep our libraries funded. If you are not, your library certainly needs your help fighting books bans and more and you can learn more from For the People here. Beware Spoilers.
