No one could accuse writer and director Julia Jackman of lack of ambition. Her second feature, shot with the visual flair and deadpan drollery of Wes Anderson or Yorgos Lanthimos, is based on a graphic novel that reinterprets the One Thousand and One Nights as a queer fairy tale about a kingdom that suppresses women’s education in service of a cruel, birdlike deity, narrated by a personification of a violet moon…and it stars Charli XCX. As much as it sounds like a hotchpotch of clashing ideas and influences, in just 90 minutes Jackman miraculously manages to weave these disparate threads together into an imaginative, funny and genuinely affecting…

2026 is upon us and we are already closing out the first month. It is time for our January 2026 Wrap Up so lets see what 2 Loud 2 Old Music added to the collection this month.

This month I didn’t actually get to hit a record store, but I did order from Discogs, Facebook and Amazon and most of this was from Christmas Gift Cards or ad money from the site. Gotta love…

Political scientists contend that a defining characteristic of the state is its monopoly on the use of force (or violence).

Chief executive Brian Niccol explains why he thinks AI will help the coffee giant regain its buzz.

Brian Armstrong, the CEO of Coinbase, found himself at the eye of a widening storm between Wall Street and the crypto industry last week at the World Economic Forum in Davos — and it got personal.  During a chance encounter over coffee with former U.K. prime minister Tony Blair, JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon abruptly cut in, pointing a finger and telling Armstrong bluntly, “You are full of s—,” according to reporting from The Wall Street Journal. The outburst underscored some of the raw tensions happening between traditional banks and crypto firms over the future of U.S. financial regulation. The…
