The Uncomfortable Dissonance of Swarms Faux Documentary

Loretta Greene (Heather Simms) is a fantastic character — there’s enough there for an entirely new show — but “Fallin’ Through the Cracks” is heavy on gap-filling exposition. Swarm is a feverish show, a liquid nightmare that obscures and provokes. To achieve this feeling, Janine Nabers and Donald Glover’s series about a murderous obsessive generally opts for a heightened visual aesthetic. Grainy and lush, it’s naturalistic, but only to a point — this is a show that continuously drifts into madness, after all. [Read More]

The Zombieland Writing Team Contemplates the Idea of 10 More Movies

Wernick, left, and Reese. The ten years since Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick wrote Zombieland have been pretty good to the Hollywood scribes. The pair entered into a very fruitful partnership with Ryan Reynolds that has lead to two Deadpool movies (well, two and a half), the underappreciated space horror Life, and the upcoming reboot of Clue. Over the course of a decade, a Zombieland sequel has shambled behind them like an undead shadow, existing at one point as a TV show (Amazon passed) and always as a hypothetical follow-up film to the smash hit from 2009.
