As Saturday Night Live enters its 50th season, it’s quite fun to revisit the day the first-ever episode went live. As so happens, I saw the film on the big screen exactly 49 years to the day it aired on October 11, 1975. Generally, I’m not a super huge fan of SNL and rarely see …

FlixChatter Review: MEGALOPOLIS (2024) – Chaotic, bloated with garish visuals, but there’s no denying Coppola’s grand yet earnest ambition
Much has been made about Francis Ford Coppola’s Megalopolis, a passion project of the 85-year-old auteur that’s envisioned since the 80s. The IMAX presentation was preceded by a Q&A hosted by the New York Film Festival with Coppola, Robert De Niro, and Spike Lee, and the director touched upon how he was able to finance …
