Freaky Tales (2025)

This grabbed us minutes in, but I still can't really tell you what it's about other than the whole vibe of the '80s: it's shoulder pads, punk, early rap, video stores, bright colors and attitude. This is an anthology -- moving around a handful of stories -- none of which really get the time to fully shine. We get interested in the patrons of a punk club deciding to fight the skinheads who make their lives miserable before shifting to a female rap duo trying to break out, which then shifts to something else. Luckily, the stories all held attention, but none managed to ever feel "complete."

Great time, but it's a high that doesn't last past the credits.
