In a long, sad American tradition, comics have been cancelled, arrested, and harassed for exercising their First Amendment rights. 1974's Lenny starring (the ironically now cancelled Dustin Hoffman) shows how far we've come and how much we've stepped back from progress. What differentiates tasteful subversive comedy from exploitative junk? Was Lenny Bruce a great comic, or was he trying too hard to make a point about censorship? Find out our thoughts here.

Ed Wood's best film is arguably one of the worst in the history of cinema. What constitutes a movie being "so bad it's good?" Is it unintentional laziness on the filmmaker's behalf? Technical errors, bad acting, all of the above? How does something like this become a cult classic before Tim Burton adapted the making of this film, in Burton's best film?

If Francis Ford Coppola's Godfather films (Not You Part II!) mastered the mafia genre, then Martin Scorsese evolved it, leading to a string of films from other directors, including Scorsese himself, to mimic its style. Yet it's Goodfellas that stands as one of the best mob films ever made and Scorsese's most revered film, which has endured for 34 years. Is it worth its admiration? If you say no, then you're not being a funny guy. #goodfellas #martinscorcese #rayliotta Jeff York is a member of the Chicago Indie Critics, whose work you can catch at https://theestablishingshot.org/ Follow him on X @JeffYorkWriter BlueSky‪@jeffyorkwriter.bsky.social‬ Instagram @jeffyorkchicago TikTok @jeffyorkchicago Sujewa is an Underground Filmmaker and avid fan of underground cinema Sujewa’s YouTube Channel https://www.youtube.com/@NYCIndieFilmmakerSujewa Follow Sujewa on X @sujewafantastic BlueSky ‪@53spaceships.art Subscribe to YPA Reviews for more content. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQrUmfPvYdxuBYuvkA

The tale of Steve Wiebe vs. Billy Mitchell is a funny, poignant David vs. Goliath story that goes far beyond video game scores. Steve Wiebe's story is a touching narrative about the everyday man who everyone can relate to, taking on a hot sauce king who happens to hold the record for the best Donkey Kong score. But like Bill Belichick, he's a shady sportsman who embarks on cheating tactics to win. You don't have to like video games to like this movie. Just enjoy the underdog story about a man trying to find something in life he can accomplish, versus the man who lives like a tycoon, worshipped by his friends within his little cocoon community.
