Hereditary

(2018)

Hereditary is a family drama about grief, woodworking, and… decapitation. It starts with a grandmother’s funeral, which sets off a chain of unsettling events. The daughter, Annie, makes tiny dollhouses for a living - nothing unusual there, except they occasionally seem more accurate than real life. Then there’s her son Peter, who goes to a party, his sister eats cake with nuts, and suddenly the movie takes a very different turn. Let’s just say, if you’re driving home at night, always watch for telephone poles. After that, things really pick up: séances, creepy symbols, and people in the attic who should’ve stayed buried. Of course, it turns out the family is part of a cult that worships a demon named Paimon, who apparently wants a new body. By the end, we all learn why you should always check the fine print before joining grandma’s book club.

Tales from the Hood

1995

What we have here is not your ordinary trip to the morgue—though, to be fair, most morgues don’t come with a smooth-talking funeral director offering story time. Tales From the Hood is four cautionary tales, wrapped up in one coffin, and if you’re squeamish about blood, violence, or politicians getting what’s coming to them, you might want to stick to Sesame Street. First, a crooked cop learns that planting evidence and using excessive force can come back to haunt you - literally. Then, a boy with crayons discovers monsters don’t just live under the bed; sometimes they sit at the dinner table. After that, a violent gangster gets sentenced to the worst rehabilitation program in history - though it does come with free electroshock treatments. And finally, a racist politician finds out that running against equality and civil rights is a dangerous platform… especially when hundreds of vengeful dolls are part of the electorate. In the end, the three thugs who came looking for drugs in the funeral home realize they’re not in for a deal - they’re in for judgment. And the funeral director? He’s not your friendly neighborhood undertaker - he’s running a much hotter business down below. Tales From the Hood is part horror, part social lesson, and part advertisement for why you should always treat people with decency. Also, why you should never accept a tour of a funeral home from a man who laughs that much at his own jokes.

South Park Elementary Fish Sticks

Yo, yo, hold up, hold up. Everybody keeps talkin’ ‘bout this fish sticks thing like it’s funny, like it’s a joke. Nah, see, y’all don’t understand the vision. Fish sticks ain’t some late-night cafeteria food - fish sticks are art. Golden. Crispy. Dipped in the sauce of creation itself. When I bite into a fish stick, I’m biting into destiny, into genius.

But every time I walk into a room, somebody wanna say, ‘Hey Kanye, you like fish dicks?’ NO. No, I don’t like fish dicks. I don’t even know why y’all keep saying that! I’m a creative prophet, I’m the voice of a generation, and you think I don’t know the difference between sticks and-? Man, stop playin’ with me!

Escape Plan Roasted Red Pepper Ragu Sauce

Alright, here’s the situation: A roasted red pepper ragu sauce, bright, smoky, and slightly sweet - the kind of sauce that makes spaghetti feel like it’s in on a secret. Now, normally I use it on pasta, maybe a garlic bread or two. But it can also double as a tactical culinary device.

If you have prison escape plans, or other highly sensitive documents, definitely classified, and the guards were closing in faster than a speeding lunch cart - smothered the papers in the ragu. They disappeared under a glorious layer of sauce, tomato and red pepper hiding everything like a professional. One bite, and suddenly the plans will be in your stomach, safe from prying eyes, allowing you to get back to undercover work for Police Squad.

"MUTANTS IN THE CROSSHAIRS”

TRUTH BEHIND Stryker’s CRUSADE

By Eddie Brock, Daily Bugle Staff Writer

In a chilling display of zealotry masked as faith, Reverend William Stryker—former military man turned televangelist—stands at the center of a rising wave of anti-mutant violence. Under the banner of his so-called “ministry,” Stryker has unleashed a campaign that’s part sermon, part witch hunt, and entirely dangerous.

Sources confirm that Stryker’s private forces—armed, trained, and disturbingly devout—were behind a series of coordinated abductions and attacks on known mutant civilians. His goal? Nothing short of genocide, carried out under the guise of "divine cleansing." This isn't a fringe movement…
