Happy Birthday MovieJawn!

Hey Old Sport!

Holy popcorn! It is July, which means it is MovieJawn’s birthday month. Hooray! Our little movie publication got started in 2015 by our founder, Fran X. Friel. Nine years year later and we are still out here slinging movie zines. Make sure you’re following us on Instagram and TikTok where we will be sharing MovieJawn history and cinematic magic from our vault throughout the month. Now on with the show!

So many movies, so little time… Our friendly MovieJawn staff is pleased to help you find your next favorite motion picture now playing at a cinema near you!

• Ryan Silberstein says A Quiet Place: Day One offers depth and thrills

• Tori Potenza says The Vourdalak is a breath of fresh air to the horror genre

• Rosalie Kicks says MAXXXINE is an exercise in style over substance

• Billie Anderson found Thelma to be a loving portrait and thrilling tale

What’s shaking with our staff? Earlier this year, MovieJawn staff writer M. Lopes da Silva published a collection of queer horror stories entitled, “Infinity Mathing at the Shore & Other Disruptions”. The collection has been described as "a dopamine hit", "cuts open the anatomy of fascism with bloody, grinning teeth", and "a True Renaissance of work from the Trans Community".

Copies are now available for order here from Weirdpunk Books. Keep up on the latest happenings with M. Lopes da Silva on Instagram here or Bluesky here.

We always write back! and will even send cinematic treats. Drop us a line via e-mail or send us postal mail to: PO BOX 20172 Philadelphia, PA 19145
