[Editor’s Note: The following review contains spoilers for “American Horror Story: Cult,” Season 7, Episode 11, “Great Again” — the season finale.]
As one cult comes to an end, another begins.
So goes “American Horror Story: Cult,” the ambitious seventh season of Ryan Murphy’s acclaimed horror franchise. After spending an entire season examining a Trump stand-in’s reign of terror, the ending ominously hinted at a new king — well, a new queen. Ally (Sarah Paulson) took down Kai (Evan Peters), stole his senate seat, and began her own quest for greater power — with the help of “some very special, very powerful friends who are going to bring about the better world we were talking about.”

Made clear when she dons her green hood, Ally is referring to the radical feminist cult inspired by Valerie Solanas’ (Lena Dunham) “Scum Manifesto.” It appears the newly elected senator is ready to unleash the female rage first cultivated by Solanas,...

7.10 Charles (Manson) In Charge
Charles (Manson) In Charge is the much-anticipated 'Manson Family' episode Ahs aficionados have been waiting for since the earliest teaser-rumours. The misguided group of baby-boomer drifters ended the decade of love, peace and understanding in a trail of blood and a counter-revolutionary message. Manson’s plan was to race-bait the end of the world, hiding on a studio backlot in Death Valley until the time was right to save the day as the white guy who knows how things should be done. This is basically Kai Anderson’s message. The city councilman is riding a wave of hatred and division to...

7.7 Valerie Solanas Died For Your Sins: Scumbag
Going by the reaction of the Internet, hundreds of people were injured when Lena Dunham was announced as joining the cast of American Horror Story: Cult. Most of these injuries were caused by violent, forceful rolling of the eyes. I was one of the eye-rollers. I watched Dunham's show Girls for several seasons, only to fall away from it when the self-indulgence got to be a bit too much for me. Dunham, never afraid of being controversial, has brought a lot of backlash onto herself. She makes deliberately provocative statements and shocking admissions in public, tends to...

We train our sights on the year 1996, and the 25 underappreciated films it has to offer...
Independence Day managed to revive both the alien invasion movie and the disaster flick in 1996, and just about every other mainstream picture released that year lived in its saucer-shaped shadow.
Yet beyond the aerial battles of Independence Day, the flying cows in Twister, and the high-wire antics of Tom Cruise in Brian De Palma's Mission: Impossible, there sat an entire library of lesser-known and underappreciated movies.
As part of our attempts to highlight the unsung greats of the 90s, here's our selection of 25 such films from 1996 - the year chess champion Garry Kasparov lost to the might of the computer Deep Blue, and the year comedy star Jim Carrey starred in an unexpectedly dark tale of obsession...
