Weapons and The Importance of Political Horror

Today, we're getting a little more serious than usual to talk about one of 2025's best horror movies and the real-world horrors it seeks to comment on. Weapons is a truly amazing film, one I'm eager to watch over and over in the coming months and pick up more details on, but this video serves as a collection of my initial thoughts on the movie and what it means. I hope I can help y'all unpack this masterful film on a deeper level and I hope you get something out of my commentary and hard work here!!
