And two innings later, first baseman Joey Gallo announced his return in a big way. Gallo, who singled in his first at-bat, hit a towering blast to right field, bringing home three more runs.By the time the top of the third inning was over, Ryan — the beneficiary of a nine-run Twins first inning in his last start — was working with a seven-run lead.The offense didn’t quit after Kluber left.

Beau is Afraid: an Overbearing Freudian Nightmare

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 11:49:10 GMT

A few years back, writer/director Ari Aster broke the horror mold with his films Hereditary and Midsommar, his Polanski-inspired sense of dread and interest in psychological nuance bolstering a genre that was subsisting on paranormal scares and torture porn. He employs those familiar tropes in his latest horror-comedy, Beau is Afraid, but instead of utilizing restraint, which is his strength, he flings us down a wormhole of Freudian anxiety, nightmarish surrealism, and extreme hyperbole.Although Aster’s tireless ambition is on display, his slow-burn style is nowhere to be found in the A24 release. Beau is a long, exhausting pilgrimage through one man’s shortcomings ripped straight out of a Philip Roth novel and filtered through Clive Barker’s imagination. It’s a fairy tale rendering of adult hell.A four-part episodic journey, the movie opens in a birth canal (yep, get ready) where our hero (sort of) Beau Wassermann (Joaquin Phoenix) sees the world for the first time and is immediate...
