dir Gregg Araki Currently I’m marinating in 2000s nostalgia loop. Maybe it started with Hannah Montana, I don’t know. But here we are: Kaboom! This was my first Araki feature (way back when), which I’m happy about even though it’s objectively not his best. There’s heavy crossover with Nowhere (1997)

Best fantasy sequence of all time and that’s because these ladies were rolling up and lighting up, not stuck in some stupid, sleepy dream.
