"Rumpus Room": New Dark Comic Series Announced By AWA

“Rumpus Room”: New Dark Comic Series Announced By AWA

From the twisted mind of Mark Russell (Not All Robots) comes Rumpus Room, the upcoming satirical thriller series distributed by comics publisher AWA. Created by Russell and artist Ramon Rosanas (Ant-Man, Star Trek), Rumpus Room tells the story of Bob Schrunk, a technocrat billionaire, collector of bad art, and victim of a hideous skin condition that can only be treated with a highly illicit and definitely not FDA-approved face cream that must be…harvested. “RUMPUS ROOM is a parable for how in American civilization, on some level, we’re set against each other by forces that are too powerful for us to reach,” explains writer Mark Russell. “It parallels the underlying assumption of American life as well: ‘I can’t do anything about the real things that are destroying me, so I’ll take all my rage out against the people who cross me.’ RUMPUS ROOM is about this misguided anger that we all have and how it weaponizes us against each other.” After

Spoiler-Free Review: HE WENT THAT WAY (Tribeca Festival 2023)  

Spoiler-Free Review: HE WENT THAT WAY (Tribeca Festival 2023)  

What do you get when you cross a serial killer saga, a road movie, a thriller, some comedy, a variation on an odd-couple buddy film, and a celebrity chimpanzee? In the case of He Went That Way (U.S., 2023), the answer is a film that lacks clear focus but is nevertheless entertaining throughout. He Went That Way features a title card that proclaims that the events in the film mostly happened. The real-life story involved animal trainer Dave Pitts and the actual chimpanzee Spanky traveling with hitchhiker and serial killer Larry Lee Ranes. Pitts gives an accounting of his tale during the end credits, which also feature a clip of Spanky performing in The Ice Capades. For the fictionalized version, animal trainer Jim (Zachary Quinto) is traveling America’s Route 66 with his beloved chimpanzee Spanky, who was once the toast of highly rated television variety shows and live performances but who has fallen out of favor in the film’s 1964
