    I haven’t popped into one of these threads before, so I have a few


    I watched Mid90s (2018) and it was much better than I expected. I came into it knowing that it had a solid 90s soundtrack, which was true, but it went beyond that with an insightful coming of age story and an amazing cast. It felt very real, which was the intent with the creator

    Mid90s (stylized as mid90s) is a 2018 American coming-of-age comedy-drama film written and directed by Jonah Hill, in his feature directorial debut, inspired by Hill’s own childhood in the mid-1990s.


    I also saw Hot Rod (2007) recently. I enjoyed it, and I can’t describe it better than the Wikipedia description:

    Hot Rod is a 2007 American comedy film directed by Akiva Schaffer (in his directorial debut) and written by Pam Brady. The film stars Andy Samberg as amateur accident-prone stuntman Rod Kimble, whose stepfather, Frank (Ian McShane), continuously mocks and disrespects him. When Frank becomes ill, Rod raises money for his heart operation by executing his largest stunt yet. The film also stars Jorma Taccone, Sissy Spacek, Will Arnett, Danny McBride, Isla Fisher and Bill Hader.


    I also tried She Hate Me (2004), and I did not finish it. It was bad.
