Melissa Barrera in BED REST joins “the likes of Florence Pugh in MIDSOMMAR, Toni Collette in HEREDITARY, and Lupita N’Yongo in US,” writes Bee Delores, “for its electrifying bite, its roots in a grounded reality, and how it relentlessly takes the audience by the throat.” Click on the link in our bio to read the full piece.

"And thank god, because the film’s whole, weird-ass deal is precisely what makes it feel so much like a retro survival horror game."

Hold off on the pizza party, kiddos. Freddy Fazbear might be returning to the big screen, but it's not a cause for celebration. In this Uncertified episode, Certified Forgotten co-host Matt Donato has invited back friend of the show @bjcolangelo to talk about the unfortunate state of Five Nights at Freddy's 2. The first was critically savaged, but not by Donato and Colangelo. The same cannot be said for Emma Tammi's sequel, and there's a big ol' Scott Cawthon shaped reason why (among other disappointing reasons).
