Marya E. Gates has some thoughts on Andrew Dominik’s Blonde (2022), Marilyn Monroe, and the photography of Weegee. “Weegee would take this idea of distorted reality even further with his doctored images of celebrities like Marilyn Monroe, warping them ever so slightly, enough so that they feel off […]

The Feminine Critique: “Orphan Pillow Monster Catch Up Spectacular”

By Guttersnipe on September 27, 2022 • ( Leave a comment )

“It’s another big ol’ catchup, where Christine and Emily wrangle their wild lists of what they’ve been watching (which is suitably 80% in the horror genre). We save the spoilery talk on Orphan: (Esther’s) First Kill, Nope, and Yellowjackets for the final fully warned segment. Before that, highlights […]

The Cultural Gutter is a website dedicated to thoughtful writing about disreputable art. The site is updated every Thursday afternoon. Carol Borden, Angela Englert, Sachin Hingoo, Alex MacFadyen, and Beth Watkins probe science fiction, draw out the best in comics, stare deeply into the screen, sink their fangs into horror, dally with romance, speedrun their brains on videogames and explore so much more. Our Guest Stars shine here. Thanks to Gutter aesthetic director Brian Kirby for all his swank art. Thanks to EJ Lee for providing the fantastic art we used in the Cultural Gutter book. The Cultural Gutter's signature nail polishes, "Disreputable," and, "Disreputable 2: Hellcat," were created by Andrea Evans of MPZ Cosmetics. MPZ Cosmetics also teamed up with Dill McKinley to recreate the classic fragrance, Cornichon by Dill McKinley for Gutterthon 2021. We've migrated to a new server. We're adding in lost pictures and reformatting as fast as we can. Thanks for your patience with older posts! We do not accept unsolicited pitches. Follow us on Twitter, Facebook, Mastodon, and Post as @culturalgutter.

Thanks to eveyrone who supported Gutterthon 2022!
