The Modern Hermit
roasts nonsense with receipts.
Film roasts, AI hype, streaming pain, public nonsense and modern life, checked with sources and served dry.
Latest Roasts
- Exit 8 Finds Horror in One Corridor and Eight Bad ChoicesExit 8 turns one sterile subway corridor into a Japanese soul audit, proving a tiny game adaptation can haunt harder than loud western spectacle films.
- Michael: The IMAX Moonwalk Through Cinema’s Funeral AdsMichael dazzles in IMAX, while pre-film streaming adverts make cinema look like it is rehearsing its own funeral in surround sound, one subscription at a time.
- Streaming Ate Cable, Then Became Cable With More Apps AgainStreaming was sold as freedom, then became cable with apps, adverts, price rises, and one modest salary asked to fund every logo on Earth each month now.
- Council Tax Bullies And The Peaky Blinders Payment TrapCouncil tax arrears turn one missed payment into a yearly threat, while public services plead poverty and richer players keep loopholes polished and legal.
- Foundation: Asimov Finally Gets a Galaxy-Sized TV BudgetA full roast of Foundation on page and screen, from Asimov’s books to Apple’s series, and why only modern VFX could finally sell that scale.
- Lee Cronin’s The Mummy: IMAX Gauze, Small Scares, No SoulLee Cronin’s The Mummy is roasted as IMAX-sized possession horror: gross, loud, overlong, and barely a mummy beneath all that expensive gauze and dust.
