Review - "Soulm8te"

by Eric Hillis, TheMovieWaffler.com
published 2026-08-14

Irish writer/director Kate Dolan's excellent 2022 feature debut You Are Not My Mother marked her as a horror filmmaker to keep an eye on. Blumhouse certainly had their eyes on Dolan, snapping her up to direct a movie in the M3GAN franchise. The result is Soulm8te (the movie itself mocks that clunky title). An unfair victim of the disastrous box office performance of last year's M3GAN 2.0, Dolan's film was pulled from its theatrical slot and dumped onto VOD. Any connections to the M3GAN universe that may have previously existed have been scrubbed, resulting in a standalone killer sexbot thriller.

Meteor Police Embrace the Beautiful Mess: Inside the Strange, Sincere World of New Jersey Post-Punk

by Glen Langmaack
published 2026-08-13

Ocean County's Meteor Police have never seemed particularly interested in choosing between opposites. Their music can be abrasive and danceable, sarcastic and sincere, strange and unexpectedly heartfelt—all at once. With their new album Death Is So Permanent, the post-punk band continues to embrace that tension while drawing from the anything-goes spirit of New Jersey’s underground music scene. Following lineup changes that ultimately brought bassist Bill Pompeo back into the fold, the band has emerged with a renewed sense of purpose and a willingness to simply follow the songs wherever they lead. We spoke with Meteor Police about humor, sincerity, New Jersey, alienation, live performance, and why they hope their new record leaves listeners thoroughly confused.
