This holiday's hottest new movie is Adult Swim Yule Log aka The Fireplace. This movie has everything: hillbilly serial killers, haunted yule logs, a cabin in the woods, cults, silver aliens, edibles, time altering demons, and pimento cheese.

I really wish we could have seen Ember enjoy playing with glass more than we did! I mean, she fixes the front display window easily and makes the glass vivisteria flower with even more ease.
I wish we could have seen her fix the display window room with just a little bit more flair to show how she isn’t just good at doing it but likes it more than anything else in the shop. I would have loved to see her room!!! Maybe seeing some of her own glass designs decorating her shelves. Seeing her trace designs in glass idly, smiling, or pause in her deliveries to admire glass sculptures or other windows, or try to make stained glass for the shop windows only be scolded about using her time and energy for better uses.

Horror Movie Review: Adult Swim Yule Log (2022)
Adult Swim Yule Log should have been a terrible idea, but thanks to a ton of talent, it ends up being one of the better ‘festive’ horrors seen in some time.
Adult Swim Yule Log aka The Fireplace, is all about subverting expectations and delivering originality, something that writer/director Casper Kelly absolutely nails. Beginning as nothing more than one of those fireplace yule log background videos found on YouTube, Adult Swim Yule Log transforms into a meta black comedy horror film. One with surreal twists and turns, and one also willing to put…

I actually got this from a twitter post but I can't find it anymore but concerning Adult Swim's Yule Log, the film seems to be about privilege. A lot of the log's flashbacks show people burdened by the era's they live on where being born a certain way denied you happiness. (Being black in 1800s, being gay, being a certain weight) and it attacks our modern cast who are privileged to live mostly without prejudice or obstacles or at least compared to the past. And what's more privileged than being able to afford an airbnb?
The little man in the fire even spells it out clearly, he also takes advantage of their privilege in the fact that it makes things that people would used to consider small like anxieties and insecurities into massive deals. It's why he's able to prey on the drug dealer's insecurity of not being successful like his siblings and tricks him into killing his mother with the promise of a better life leading to his nonexistence. He tries to do the same with Zoe noting how she seems pretty much done with the world only to be shocked she has a renewed stamp on life and insulted that she would say he's from hell and berates her for her privileges stating that one day everything she considers normal could called evil tomorrow.
There's also the fact that our main characters are a mostly happy interracial couple, while in the past the slave and slave owner who despite their situation grew to actually love each other (if we can believe that the man in the fire was the spirit of dead slave owner regretting his actions) until the nature of the time they live in caused the owner to do something that would cause the slave to kill him.
(I just also realized that Zoe was pretty open about not wanting kids because she considers the world to be too messed up while the slave killed her owner because he was going to send their son away to a harsher slave owner)
I'm actually shocked there don't seem to be any sort of analysis videos for Yule Log, seems like the shit people would eat up
I almost couldn't help but notice the deal with privilege because I've been seeing way too much bullshit when it pertains to the subject as of late. Not that the world has ever been without it but just more so than usual in the places I've been looking. A whole lot of "Wow; must be nice". You also can't get any more privileged than wanting Chris Pratt to play you in a movie.
I'm also surprised not a lot of video analysis types seem to be jumping on the themes but then again it is one of those niche Adult Swim projects that the long time fans are used to while everybody else is just here for that Rick & Morty before heading out.

The 5th Annual Derrick Sanskrit "Everyone's a Critic" Awards (part one: music and movies)
Tumblr media
(note: I have posted this thread on Twitter at the end of December for the past five years, but with that platform's future more dubious than ever, it makes sense to back up 2022's edition here)
It's the most wonderful time of the year! Time for the fifth annual Derrick Sanskrit "Everyone's a Critic" Awards for all the pop culture I thought was simply the best over the past twelve months.
There's so much, we're gonna slow-drip this year, so let's start with music...
Tumblr media
Bloc Party guitarist Russell Lissack’s solo EP is seventeen minutes of just fantastic collaborations, including a reunion with Pin Me Down bandmate Milena Mepris. Had this been a full LP, it would be way higher in the rankings.
Tumblr media
A top-to-bottom reworking of 2020’s New Symbols, this LP benefits from both two more years of Tom Vek’s reflection on his art as well as wider distribution on digital music platforms so people could actually hear it.
Tumblr media
Nine years after his debut LP, the French DJ proves his mastery of timeless synth anthems with this album that feels like the soundtrack to a long lost John Hughes movie about sexy computer hackers.
Tumblr media
It feels like cheating to include the soundtrack to a 2021 concert film in this list, but the album dropped in 2022 and it freaking rules so whatever. This is the sound of the Dan Greene Cinematic Universe.
Tumblr media
A mostly-instrumental album of lush chiptune soundscapes, this high-def volume of Australian electronic anthems begs the question “why aren’t we having another chip resurgence right freakin’ now?” Danceable, worldly, melancholic, and beyond.
Tumblr media
A timely reminder that indie rock can be snarky and clever without losing the charm of four-part harmonies and driving hooks. Like cherry red Doc Martens stomping through a field of sunflowers, The Beths show us how to suffer with a smirk.
Tumblr media
No album this year felt as immediately BIG as the sophomore effort from this English post-rock phalanx. It commands attention before curling up in a ball to hide at your feet and whisper deep dark secrets in your ear.
Tumblr media
Continuing her transformation from cloud rap to pop, Kilo Kish challenges conventions with this collection of toe-tapping bangers about societal woes, public image, self-worth, and the ills of consumerism, all framed within a retro arcade game.
Tumblr media
A punk album so specifically of its time without immediately dating itself by naming names. A concept album about running a punk band like a business that comes to its logical conclusion: in-fighting, ego clashes, bankruptcy, and thanking the sponsors.
Tumblr media
Simply the best breakup album in ages (sorry Swifties). Cutthroat and callous, honest and earnest, this math rock sophomore LP challenges pop song structure as much as relationships challenge the edges of individual identity.
Wasn't that so much fun? So many fantastic albums in 2022, such wonderful songs to sing and dance to. Good times.
And now, our second category... it's time to talk about MOVIES...
Tumblr media
The vainglorious adventures of an aspiring podcaster focusing largely on the culture clash between New York and Texas. Quite possibly the best performance ever from Ashton Kutcher.
Tumblr media
While this mock-rock-doc never reaches the parodic highs of Weird Al’s previous “UHF,” the extended Funny Or Die sketch carries heaps of charm with an all-star cast of comedy cameos.
Tumblr media
Easily the most unexpected film of the year, this holiday horror fusion brings all the delirious twists and turns you’d expect from the creator of “Too Many Cooks.”
Tumblr media
Simply the biggest, boldest, wildest action movie to date, RRR offers more spectacle per minute than Zack Snyder does in an hour, while still finding plenty of time to sing and dance.
Tumblr media
Jordan Peele’s third horror film forgoes shocks and scares in favor of slow burn dread with thoroughly enjoyable examinations of race, media, exploitation, and religion.
Tumblr media
This celebration of the power of art to question authority and buck societal norms poses the question “what if Freddy Mercury and Jimi Hendrix were best friends in feudal Japan?”
Tumblr media
Simply the most fun I had in a movie theater all year. A fast, stylish, star-studded action farce, like Guy Ritchie directing a script by the Coen Brothers, this film taught me more about Thomas the Tank Engine than my nephews ever will.
Tumblr media
Proving Knives Out wasn’t a one-off fluke, Rian Johnson delivers a whodunnit with bigger stakes, bigger stars, bigger spectacle, and bigger laughs. A covid-era mystery for Agatha Christie fans of any age.
Tumblr media
In their second feature, the Daniels have produced what feels like a once-in-a-generation iconic piece of cinema. Sweeping & grandiose, intimate & delicate, EEAAO is the sci-fi family immigrant tale we never knew we so desperately needed.
Tumblr media
The most I’ve cried in the theater since Toy Story 3. Marcel’s journey will melt the most frozen of hearts and make you believe that anything is possible with a positive outlook.

n.b. the photo may be from 1994 but i'm pretty sure this is the Charles Rennie Mackintosh house, part of the Hunterian art gallery in glasgow, so the furniture & fireplace are actually from c.1905

I love how you said “I can’t believe Y’all made me make this gif set” about Adult Swim Yule Log/The Fireplace, like it’s not the greatest movie of all time (/jk)
But seriously, what drugs was the director smoking to make a campy horror movie that manages to perfectly encapsulate the cycle of cruelty of the human race?
Honsetly, I was bummed that there were no other gifsets of that movie! It was a really solid movie and no one talks about it! I should make more gifs this year....
