Weekly Features
Wednesday - Added To Watchlist:
Guest writers recommend one (1) movie that people should check out. May be their favorite film, may be something they enjoy. It might be a total obscurity or it could be a mainstream success. In any case, they recommend you watch (or revisit) it.Thursday - Lists Of Fury:
Who doesn’t love Listicles? Huh? Many people? Ruh-roh. Well this is a weekly and random list that covers all sorts of topics like “My Top 5 Best Guesses About The Abilities of Politoed, the Pokémon”, “The Many Times That Paula Pell Saved An Entire Show Or Movie”, and “Questions Arising From The Music Video For “I’ll Do Anything For Love (But I Won’t Do That)”, and so much more.Friday - My Mixtape’s A Masterpiece:
Guests will compile a 12-song playlist connected with whatever theme they choose. Maybe “The Best Mix From Summer Of ‘95”, “Soundtrack To An Alien RomCom That Never Existed”, “The Best Weezer B-Sides”, or whatever strikes their fancy! They pick the theme, match the songs, and then explain their choices…and you get to listen to the result.Friday - Zelda Convention:
Title admittedly stolen from the Empress of Aesthetics, Erin Gaskill. Because this feature will have more Links than a Zelda Convention. It’s a round-up of trailers, memes, news stories, interviews, viral videos, and all sorts of oddities culled from the Internet.
As time moves on, we’ll add contributors and pay for their services. There’ll be themed weeks and months with plenty of tie-in posts (hope you’re all ready for “Fred Olen May”!).
Reviews will be posted here for movies, home video, music, and anything else that strikes our fancy. Interested in contributing? Email me here and we can discuss. I’m especially looking for non-white, non-straight, non-cisgendered men—there needs to be greater amplification of voices of people that don’t look like me. Hopefully Neon Splatter can help with that.
This is my first fully functional website, so there may be some truly awkward hiccups and I beg for your patience. For example - this whole message was completely eradicated twice by accident. I hope you keep coming back as we will constantly grow and evolve. Tomorrow morning we kick off with some fancy words, and then it’s off to the races.
