Anomalisa
Sarah was on assignment covering the 2015 Toronto Film Festival this year for Consequence Of Sound.
I don’t know what “a beautiful exploration of terminal lassitude” means, but that’s what she thought of the film Anomalisa.

Beyonce
Perhaps as a response to Taylor Swift’s uncomfortably vampiric need to bring famous women onstage as part of her concerts, the Queen B Beyonce recently shared a bit of gal power from the stage in Philadelphia with another strong woman — MMA fighter Ronda Rousey.
Now, Rousey didn’t actually appear on stage with Beyonce. But Beyonce used Rousey’s increasingly iconic “Do Nothing Bitch” speech to introduce her song “Diva.”
Sarah wrote about this natural coming together of elemental forces for Fightland.

Posthumous
When Sarah went down to the Niagara Film Festival awhile back one of the intriguing features she saw was a screwball-ish rom-com called Posthumous.
There are love triangles, hijinx, stuff… y’know, all the things a film like this is supposed to have.
Sarah wrote about it for Consequence Of Sound.

Bartitsu
Master detective Sherlock Holmes also happens to be the master of a fighting style called bartitsu.
This relatively unknown martial arts style is experiencing a moment right now, in part because it’s getting programmed at music festivals.

Station To Station
In 2013 a guy named Doug Aitken made a weird art-freak train trip across the country in which people like Thurston Moore, Cat Power and Beck showed up to take part in the ride.
These events were then turned into a movie called Station To Station.
