This week, I had the pleasure of attending the Baltimore premiere of a new offbeat romcom, The Baltimorons. To put it plainly: The film is magic, the kind that can only happen when there's a deeply honest story being told over a backdrop that also, somehow, manages to tell its own story at the same time. Strassner and Larsen? Epic chemistry. Baltimore? Hardly a third wheel, but a star in its own right.

In any relationship, it's important to understand how you and your partner are different and work to find common ground. That's especially true when your girlfriend is a dark knight pledged to the god of evil who traveled here from another reality to fight a malevolent wizard and you're just a girl trying to get by. This oh so common conundrum is explored in taking my Dark Knight Girlfriend to the corner store, a short, sweet visual novel available for free on Steam and Itch.

This weekend, Vera Farmiga and Patrick Wilson star in their last Conjuring movie, and that makes me want to say boooo. All good things must end, but boooo. (Spooky pun unintended.) But I can say yay to Splitsville, a dry comedy about a pair of dysfunctional couples finally going wide for all to see. There's also an Office spinoff out, but maybe I'll wait until there are nine seasons to binge on Peacock. Here's everything!

Ashley (Adria Arjona) has recently informed her husband, Carey (co-writer Kyle Marvin), that she wants a divorce so she can sleep with other people. Not long after this bombshell, Carey learns that his best friend Paul (director and co-writer Michael Angelo Covino) and his wife, Julie (Dakota Johnson), have an open marriage. Having just had his world rocked - twice - Carey returns to the apartment that he and Ashley share, determined to preserve the remnants of his relationship by proving that he, too, can handle non-monogamy.
