Arthouse Tuesdays don't get artier than this one, with specialty movies on extremely opposite ends of the spectrum.

First, we catch up with "Didi (弟弟)" a deeply personal and relatable coming-of-age indie from writer-director Sean Wang. Izaac Wang plays the 13-year-old son of Taiwanese immigrants who's navigating the last month of summer before entering high school in 2008. It's cringe-inducing in its emotional truth. In theaters now.

Then, we review "Caligula: The Ultimate Cut," which is a totally different version of the notorious 1980 epic. It's longer at three hours, but features less sex and more palace intrigue. Malcolm McDowell and Helen Mirren star. In theaters.

And for our Patreon subscribers, we visit "Network," the Faye Dunaway movie that won August's Off the Menu poll. The 1976 satire, winner of four Academy Awards, remains just as sharp and searing nearly 50 years later. Thanks for hanging our with us!
