THE CHERRY POPPERZ: ¡Live From Muerto Rico!

Sebastian Avery

There is nothing easy about island life, not here. At a time when Puerto Ricans needed a sense of community more than ever, a group of girls on quad-skates broke the rules, took to the streets, and started a movement.

Since the skate-crew’s inception in 2020, Allana Gabriela, Patricia Estrada, Kilani, and Christine Coimbre, have been unapologetically paving the way for diversity and inclusivity within the Caribbean roller-skate scene.

Ari Aster's Families On The Fritz

In Ari Aster’s 2016 short film C’est La Vie, Chester Crummings, a homeless man, speaks directly and combatively to camera about his life and society at large as he wanders the streets of LA, surviving, begging for change and casually murdering people. At one point, he says: “You know what Freud says about the nature of horror? He says it’s when the home becomes unhomelike. Unheimlich.” In Sig...
