B Movies Blog

Hello, Movie Mavens! Welcome back to the B Movies Blog. Today, we’re popping A24 movies into the ol’ VCR. 

Note: This blog was written in advance, so I am more than aware that some really good A24 releases from late fall/early winter are missing.

I’ve said this before, but since I started openly writing about pop culture, I’ve become synonymous with two big things: Bo Burnham and A24. 

And, btw, we’ve had some close calls in the “Bo Burnham potentially seeing my content” department. The degrees of separation between BB and I seem to be dwindling by the day, and it gives me hives. I digress. 

I love A24, and I think they’re releasing/distributing some of the best movies out there. Except for, y’know, The VVitch and Beau Is Afraid.

[Insert one of my trademark disclaimers about how me not liking a movie doesn’t make it bad or vice versa here]. 

When you disassociate during a Zoom meeting. 

If you aren’t sure what the deal with A24 is, here’s a quick primer: 

A24 is an indie company founded back in 2012 by John Hodges, David Fenkel, and Daniel Katz, and they primarily focus on TV and film production and distribution. They also have a great podcast.

Additionally, they’re more than likely responsible for producing or distributing some of the content you love, especially if you’re a big movie goer and/or watcher like myself. 

For those new to the world of A24, or if you’re just looking for a good binge, I’ve assembled a list of some of my favorite A24 movies. A very, very long (and slightly controversial) list: 

• Spring Breakers 
• Ex Machina 
• Tusk 
• The Spectacular Now
• The Bling Ring 
• Obvious Child 
• Laggies
• Green Room
• The Lobster 
• Moonlight 
• It Comes At Night 
• Good Time 
• Lady Bird 
• Hereditary 
• Eighth Grade 
• Slice 
• Midsommar 
• The Farewell 
• The Lighthouse 
• In Fabric 
• Saint Maud 
• Zola
• X
• Pearl 
• Everything Everywhere All At Once 
• Talk To Me
• Past Lives 

I know there are a lot of movies in the A24 universe that aren’t listed here, and I know I’ll catch some flack for it. Listen, this is just a list of SOME of my favorites. There are still some flicks within the A24 realm I haven’t seen, and there are some I just didn’t like, and that’s OKAY. 

I have nothing but mad respect for A24 for distributing some of the best and unique films around that might not get a chance otherwise. Here’s hoping that 2024 will be the year of A24…yet again.
