Midnight at the Movies

By Hayden Cornelius

My raw thoughts, first impressions, and live movie reactions/reviews. I mostly focus on current movies that are playing in theaters, but also explore VOD/streaming releases as well as revisiting some older classics from time to time. I also have a running segment called Midnight Movie Talk where I talk about hot topics & current events within the movie industry. Sometimes with guests as well.
