(He’s also namechecked movies like Repulsion and Don’t Look Now, among others, so this promises to be heavily referential and to wear its influences on its sleeve.)

Damn, the last quarter of 2021 is just overflowing with big movies and I’m already stressed out at the prospect of trying to see them all.
