Jon would say that as a writer, he is a self-proclaimed film snob and a pop culture junkie. Always gives his honest, critical, and maybe a little bit snarky opinion on everything. He's very detail oriented and loves anything involving creativity and innovation. You're better off asking him who his favorite director is rather than his favorite film. So beware and get ready to be entertained. You can contact him at jon@theyoungfolks.com or follow him on twitter @DystopianHero. (Also, he doesn't always refer to himself in the third person, but sometimes he just has to).

Movie Review: The Neon Demon

Casual human observation is one of my favorite spectator sports. Going to a club or some other social setting, I’ve witnessed people vainly staring into the bathroom mirror wordlessly telling themselves one thing: “Yeah, I’d fuck me.” This essentially sums…

Movie Review: Central Intelligence

I’m at a loss for words. When I went to see Central Intelligence I expected an innocuous buddy-spy comedy, but I wasn’t ready for how virulent it would become. This is one of the most problematic films I’ve seen in a while.…
