It has come to my attention that some people don’t know about JWZ’s “Recent Movies and TV” pieces. If you’re one of them, stop what you’re doing and go read this.
The Bride! (2026): Frankenstein is having a moment. This one is absolutely amazing! Where *Poor Things* was Arthouse Frankenstein, this is more of a Grindhouse Frankenstein. It wears all of the references. There's a little bit of *Frankenhooker*, a little bit of *Young Frankenstein*, a little *Salome*, a little *Bonnie and Clyde* a hell of a lot of *Natural Born Killers*, wrapped up in a bow of feminist cannibalism. Best movie of the year so far... jwz.org/b/yk8y
