Soft Power

According to Melling, the film Pillion is truly unique. Director Harry Lighton updated the story from the 1970s to the present day, casting the imposing Alexander Skarsgård as Ray, a handsome but emotionally unavailable biker, and Melling as the quiet, unassuming parking attendant who becomes involved with him. This erotic comedy-drama—which some are calling a “dom-com”—marks Lighton’s first feature film, following a series of successful short films (Melling had previously enjoyed Lighton’s Wren Boys). Pillion was picked up by A24 in October 2024 and generated buzz at the Cannes Film Festival in May 2025, winning both a screenplay award and a Palm Dog Award for its canine actors. The film gained considerable recognition during awards season this fall and winter, earning three BAFTA nominations (currently under consideration) and several accolades from independent film groups and critics’ associations. Now, Pillion is finally being released widely across America.

16 Years Later, Marvel Anime Is Still the Most Underrated Anime of the 2010s

The Marvel Anime series, which includes adaptations of Iron Man, Wolverine, Blade, and the X-Men, is a unique project that often goes underappreciated. It’s a loving tribute to both Marvel Comics and the anime style, and a clever take on how stories can be reimagined.
