eXistenZ - Got a lot of that really gnarly Cronenberg-ian imagery and distortion of reality, but there's way too many plot twists in the back half for the narrative to really hit like it could. A lot of great actors here, but none of them at their best.

Silent Running - Love the chunky 1970s futurism, Bruce Dern, and the overall message. It is a bit heavy-handed, though, and while I like the idea of hippie botanist Dern hanging out with 3 robots on an empty spaceship, I don't think it does quite enough to make it fully engaging during those parts.

GOAT has an absurd amount of product placement. The products aren't even stylized to fit the world. DualSense controllers and a straight up PS5, multiple Mercedes-Benz's with the logo taking up most of the screen, a lot of PLEZi (Steph Curry's verison of PRIME), Under Armour sneakers and clothing, even a Sony Xperia phone shows up. I love it all. Product placement is so fun to me and the movie is pretty good as well. It's a pretty standard story but the animation is nice.

I forgot to watch Fixed from Sony so I guess that's next up.
