Frownland was made with very little money and wasn’t intended to be a mainstream hit – it was a passion project. But pursuing a demanding creative vision on your own can be as difficult as it is rewarding. Because of financial struggles, the film took six years to complete, with a year-long pause where Ronald pretended to be a copywriter in Sweden, essentially assembling a portfolio from online sources when money was tight. By the time Frownland was finished, Ronald and Mary had fallen in love, gotten married, and people had mostly stopped asking about the movie, treating it like a sensitive subject. Not knowing what to do with it, Ronald submitted the film to a small festival in Williamsburg, where it played to almost no one in a residential garage.
The new series, DTF St. Louis, immediately establishes itself as a darkly funny and thrilling show for today’s audiences. The story centers around the murder of Floyd Smernitch, played by David Harbour, a somewhat awkward Sign Language interpreter for a St. Louis news station.

The opening scene shows Floyd participating in a painfully awkward therapy session, attempting to hug his reluctant stepson while reading him a prepared statement.
I’m confused by the wedding venue – it requires the women to climb stairs in their dresses if they don’t get married, which seems odd. Perhaps the show is trying to symbolize the challenges of marriage with this detail? In the end, two of the five couples decided to get married, while the other three realized they weren’t compatible.

I’m really excited about the upcoming Clayface movie! It’s not just that it focuses on one of Batman’s coolest villains, but it’s going to be a genuinely scary and tragic story. Knowing Mike Flanagan – a fantastic horror director – is writing it makes it feel totally different from other DC films. It was originally supposed to come out in September, but now we’re looking at an October 23rd release, and I can’t wait!
The episode starts with a Renaissance Faire party, and it’s noticeably full of women dressed as wenches, with far fewer men in traditional knight or bard costumes. The question arises: were most of the guests invited by the men? Or is the show’s audience primarily female, creating a demand for more male attendees? It makes you wonder why they didn’t just invite Joe the Balloon Guy!
