<p>Look, everyone! Another sad robot movie! Seriously, what is in the water these days? We don’t mean to slander the great Hirokazu Kore-eda, who makes weepies so tender-hearted and brutal they’d make even the most bitter cynic regret their attitude, and whose latest picture, Sheep in the Box, covers similar territory. But come on, guys. The AI rhetoric can’t be potent enough for every director to line up to riff on Spielberg’s A.I. These features are going to wind up […]</p>

<p>It’s amazing what one Kieran Culkin performance can do for a filmmaker. Take Jesse Eisenberg: before Culkin absolutely dominated A Real Pain, we would have rolled our eyes writing about a new project from the actor-director (we didn’t care for When You Finish Saving the World, sadly). Now? We’re confident that his latest feature, The Debut, will be well worth everyone’s time, even though Culkin’s not in it. Did we write this lede to annoy Jesse Eisenberg? No, we’d never […]</p>

<p>Good idea: adapt Kazuo Ishiguro’s Klara and the Sun, a gorgeous novel by a man who has had two absolute masterpieces made from his novels (The Remains of the Day, Never Let Me Go), for the screen. Bad idea: hire Taika Waititi to do it. Look, we’re not as hideously anti-Waititi as many people in similar positions and age brackets. The man has made some lovely movies, and we even liked Jojo Rabbit more than most (though not as much […]</p>

This weekend marks the 150th anniversary of the victory of the Lakota, Cheyenne, Arapaho, and Blackfeet over the 7th Cavalry Regiment of the US Army, as well as the second annual Victory Day Fest. Put together by Portland-based Pow Wow punk rock band 1876, sad times productions, and Friends of Noise, the festival celebrates this victory along with the power of community, with all proceeds from ticket sales going to the Boys and Girls Club of the Northern Cheyenne Nation. The festival will be hosted by MC Sho Rilla and features performances by 1876, Under Exile, Lo Cash Ninjas, Iron Tusk, Weedrat, Eggplant Dance Battle, and Life Rips. Along with the bands, the festival will have vendors, frybread, and a raffle, the proceeds of which will also be donated to the Boys and Girls Club. Victory Day Fest will take place on June 27 at The Off Beat in Portland, Oregon. You can grab tickets to the festival right here. Through the power of the internet, Punknews editor Em Moore caught up with Gabe Colhoff of 1876 and Jake McLoud of 1876 and sad times productions to talk about the origin of Victory Day Fest, putting the lineup together, the importance of community-focused festivals, creating the festival shirts, and so much more.

<p>Our heads are usually a noisy, chaotic mess as we slowly traverse through the day with little actual physical movement, and Phoebe Green has provided a much-needed soundtrack to match the mood of our emotional static. It arrives via the Manchester riser’s blissfully turbulent new single “There’s Always Someone Kicking The Seat,” a dizzying spell of indie, electronic-pop, and witch house that sets a mental tone for forthcoming album PREMATURE NOSTALGIA, out October 2 via The Green Dream Machine / Absolute. This […]</p>
