Welcome to IndieWire After Dark, where we pick a new theme for our midnight movie programming every month!
Join us on Friday nights (and special occasions!) to explore some of the strangest fringe films available at any hour in the Streaming Age.
The lights are twinkling and the temperature is dropping. But in December 2024, the merry-making vibes are distinctly and resolutely… off. Lean into that discomfort with some Holiday Midnight Movie (and TV!) Madness as we celebrate a weird year.
After several particularly stressful months in current events, the pre-Christmas season feels oddly foreboding. That might be a welcome reprieve for those of us who are usually glum during the holidays (just me?), but the blues can sneak up on anyone. Whether you’re battling a bickering family or dealing with loneliness, weirdo cinema has the power to fight your funk with more funk.
When in doubt, clown it out! Feeling sad? Watch something bad! Seriously, skip this year’s viewing of “It’s a Wonderful Life” — and go full-send into something like 1978’s “The Silent Partner” (a sincerely excellent crime thriller!) or MTV’s single Christmas-themed episode of “Jackass” (it’s a lot of sledding on… skin). For our lineup, we’ve strung a bunch of wackiness together to create a tonally jarring garland as crunchy and sour as popcorn and cranberries.
All of these titles go for broke with ridiculous core story concepts, and each will leave you with a completely different feeling. Only have 30 minutes to soothe your rage before family dinner? There’s an animated alien invasion for that. Looking for a family-friendly rom-com that will fundamentally change how you see a Christmas pop hit? Emilia Clarke has you covered. Want thrills? Try the below 1984 sci-fi hidden gem. Need more chills? OK, “Better Watch Out.”
IndieWire After Dark publishes new midnight movie and cult film recommendations (that’s THE BAIT)… and our spoiler-filled reactions to them (that’s THE BITE)… late on Friday nights.
Happy Holidays, genre fans! Here’s what we’re watching in December 2024:
Descend into madness with this stand-out Christmas special from an especially weird time in animation. “The Most Horrible X-Mas Ever” was the last installment of the gone-too-soon “Invader Zim” to premiere on Nickelodeon before its sudden cancelation — and everything in this “How the Grinch Stole Christmas” redux rings true to what made the original show great. From an anti-capitalist kicker that’s still pretty funny to the priceless promise of Gir in an elf suit, this impromptu finale doubles as an oddly perfect swan song. Using a misnomer like “worst” here seems nearly as criminal as the world-domination/Santa impersonation plot at the center of Zim’s increasingly bizarre holiday episode.
Feeling Cynical at the Holidays? Try Nickelodeon’s ‘Invader Zim’ and ‘The Most Horrible X-Mas Ever’
Delightfully schlocky and strange — not to mention the start of a franchise! — “Trancers” is an off-the-beaten-path pick that lets Christmas play out in the background of a perfectly chunky B-movie. Also known as “Future Cop,” Tim Thomerson stars as Trooper Jack Deth (yes, that’s “Deth” — no “a”) in this action film about the evil psychic Whistler (Michael Stefani) and his growing legion of mind-controlled zombie henchmen known as “trancers.” Deth will travel back in time to the 1980s to head off Whistler’s attempts to assassinate futuristic officials via the butterfly effect… by transporting his consciousness into the body of an ancestor and partying with a totally punk-rock Helen Hunt.
Celebrate the fifth anniversary of one of cinema’s greatest-ever tributes to taking a preposterous idea way, way too far with the overly literal “Last Christmas.” Starring Emilia Clarke and Henry Golding (when she was exiting “Game of Thrones” and he had just broken out with “Crazy Rich Asians”), this fizzy and flirty descent into madness centers the London-set love story of Kate — a retail clerk who spends her days dressed as an elf — and Tom — a charitable man hiding a tragic, Wham!-related secret. (Yes, Wham!) Written by Bryony Kimmings and Emma Thompson, who also appears as Kate’s mother, this astoundingly dark rom-com is so startling it will snap even the most heartbroken among us back to reality.
The scariest entry in our December lineup by far, “Better Watch Out” is another movie with a solid surprise — but that reveal comes early on. It’s everything after that makes this script truly terrifying, culminating in a singular “Home Alone” homage you’ll never unsee. Going in, all you need to know is that a babysitter (Olivia DeJonge), her nerdy 12-year-old client (Levi Miller), and his goofy friend (Ed Oxenbould) are working through some awkward crush-related tension when an intruder threatens to ruin their cozy Christmas night. Think “Halloween” meets “You’re Next” with a black-comic “Scream” center. This bleak selection isn’t for everyone, but it’s sure to send shivers down your spine.

Traditional Asian remedies for cold and flu season – Northwest Asian Weekly
Northwest Asian Weekly
By Leave a Comment
By Lindsay Kim
NORTHWEST ASIAN WEEKLY
As winter arrives, so does our seasonal companion, the cold and flu. While modern medicine has its role, many people turn to traditional Asian remedies, grounded in centuries of wisdom handed down through generations.
From Chinese herbal teas to Ayurvedic practices and countless time-honored East Asian remedies, these traditions focus on balance and natural healing. While they may not always be the most flavorful choices, they offer a wealth of proven solutions based on ancient wisdom.
“There’s a Chinese saying that every medicine is 30% poison,” Alice Mao said. “Every form of medicine has some type of side effect on your body, and my mother believes that you have to allow your immunity to build up (naturally).”
In many Asian cultures, well-being centers on the balance between Yin (cold) and Yang (hot). For example, Yang stimulates, energizes, and provides warmth, while Yin soothes and holds. When the body is exposed to external factors such as wind, cold, and heat, its internal balance is disrupted, weakening its protective energy, Wei Qi, and making it more vulnerable to seasonal ailments like colds and the flu.
“Your body is like a garden,” Dr. Jae Yoon, a Seattle-based acupuncturist, said. “You have to nourish and protect it, and be mindful of maintaining balance. If neglected, it becomes prone to external pathogens.”
Wu Xing, or the five elements of human nature—wood, fire, earth, metal, and water—also influence how individuals respond to the four seasons. Those born in winter may thrive in summer, while those born in summer may feel more energized during colder months, reflecting the deeper connection between external forces and internal energy, which are central to the philosophy of Asian remedies and remain relevant today, Yoon said.
“This idea may not show up (immediately) in your body, but in 10 or 20 years, you might notice its impact,” Yoon said. “Always be mindful of your body and the changes around you.”
Among the most beloved traditional remedies is ginseng root, the ultimate immunity booster, known as “insam” in Korean, and “renshen” in Chinese known for its “warming” effects. Ginseng improves circulation, and combats fatigue while boosting stamina.
The Korean Red Ginseng, which is steamed, dried, and concentrated, is especially celebrated for its unprecedented gradual “heaty” effects once consumed. Its bittersweet taste and energy stemming from ginseng concentrated extracts have also made it a long-time ideal holiday gift, particularly for those with cold hands and feet. 
“You cannot get some Western medication without a doctor’s prescription,” Charlie Turner Yang, an ER technician at the Overlake Medical Center, said. “But, ‘hongsam’ (red ginseng) has helped me a lot by improving my blood flow, warming up my body, and boosting my brain energy to stay energized during exam season, especially during the winter.”
Ginseng also can be brewed into teas, used as an extract, or incorporated into soups like “samgyetang,” a comforting Korean chicken soup made with ginseng, garlic, and jujube. Traditionally consumed in summer to replenish energy after the heat, samgyetang is equally beneficial in winter. The “cooling” nature of chicken is balanced with warming ingredients like ginseng and garlic, stimulating the body’s internal heat to defend against illness, Yoon said.
In Chinese culture, the concept of “cold medicine” is rare compared to Western remedies like Tylenol, designed for fast relief of acute symptoms. Chinese medicine, on the other hand, works gradually and slowly, creating the right conditions to let the body heal and recover over time, according to Mao.
When she was younger, Mao said she was more focused on defeating illness with Western medicine.
“But as I have gotten older, I’ve gravitated towards my mom’s approach… maybe for small things that your body can naturally fight off over time, you should let it heal and rely on nutrition in your daily life, through soups or immunity shots.”
Mao also highlighted a powdered herbal medicine her family uses to naturally combat colds. Though it doesn’t mask symptoms like Tylenol or Benadryl, these powdered herbal medicines are sweetened, easy to access, and dissolve instantly in hot water, making them easy to drink. 
Dr. Yoon recommends taking a natural herbal medicine or immunity booster like hongsam at the first sign of a sore throat or cold symptoms. Acting early helps reverse symptoms before they fully develop, alleviating discomfort and shortening recovery time. However, he said that consistent mindfulness and lifestyle changes, such as regular exercise, sufficient sleep, and emotional stability, are key to enhancing circulation and maintaining optimal balance before the symptoms appear.
Chinese medicine also includes sweet herbal syrups like “nin jiom,” a natural remedy made with honey and blended herbs for sore throats, securing their place in the cabinets of many Asian households for centuries. 
Despite the rise of Western medicine, traditional remedies continue to resonate, particularly among younger generations seeking natural alternatives.
“There’s a huge opportunity for second-generation kids to become the middleman—translating between their parents and an audience who want to learn more about these practices but face language barriers,” Mao said. “Just like we’ve seen with Chinese cooking on YouTube, we crave that space for medicine and health as well…somebody to be able to translate so that people who are interested can have a space and an opportunity to learn more.”
As Dr. Yoon emphasizes, “The ancient wisdom provides insights that help us prevent illness, cure disease, and maintain better health. These traditions are not just the knowledge of the past, but treasures that we can still apply in today’s world.”

Namada proposal seeks approval for NAM airdrop to Coin Center donors – crypto.news
Share
Namada, the layer-1 blockchain platform and shielded asset hub, has announced that community member Ether Gavin has outlined a proposal to reward Coin Center donors with the native token NAM.
In an announcement on December 17, Namada revealed that Gavin’s governance proposal aims to initiate a public goods funding campaign, which would airdrop NAM tokens to donors of the blockchain advocacy group Coin Center. The initiative is set to coincide with the holiday season.
If the Namada community supports the proposal, the L1 blockchain will airdrop between 1 and 2 million NAM tokens to Coin Center. This allocation would represent approximately 2% to 4% of the PGF’s yearly budget. The team envisions a three-week campaign for the initiative.
Community feedback has been largely positive, with many supporting funding for the U.S.-based Coin Center team.
“So far our community likes this idea,” Gavin wrote. “Stakers, this is a signalling proposal to gauge your interest. We want Namada to use PGF to broaden the distribution of NAM, while driving donations to Coin Center’s Ethereum address,” he added.
Coin Center’s advocacy work plays a significant role in addressing legal and regulatory issues impacting the crypto space in the United States.
A recent ruling by the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals validated Coin Center’s argument that decentralized protocols and immutable smart contracts are not property and, therefore, cannot be sanctioned. This argument gained prominence following the legal case against crypto mixing service Tornado Cash.
Coin Center has also shared its top policy priorities for the coming year. These include fighting against the unfair prosecution of developers of non-custodial software, protecting American crypto owners, pushing for sensible tax reforms, and achieving regulatory clarity around securities and commodities laws.

Money, Music, And The Gambling Game: Why Successful Musicians Take The Plunge – bravewords.com
December 17, 2024, 11 hours ago
news
Financial success and gambling have always intertwined in the music industry, where high-stakes entertainment defines the lifestyle. Musicians have long gravitated to the gambling world, from Frank Sinatra’s legendary performances at the Sands Hotel and Casino to Elvis Presley’s passionate affair with Las Vegas.
The entertainment industry’s relationship with gambling continues to evolve, moving from the iconic casino performances of the past to today’s diverse gaming landscape. Musicians who achieve success often find themselves naturally gravitating toward gaming activities, whether at exclusive casino events or through modern online betting platforms – which are becoming increasingly common.
Musicians naturally embrace this attraction – after all, they build their careers on calculated risks, from investing in albums to betting on tours. Their risk-taking mindset translates seamlessly into the gambling and betting world.
Some of rock’s biggest names have openly shared their experiences with gambling. Motörhead’s Lemmy Kilmister, who penned the gambling-themed anthem “Ace of Spades,” was not just writing about the subject; he lived it.
The tradition of rock stars crafting gambling anthems spans decades, from SAXON’s “Play It Loud” to IRON MAIDEN’s “The Angel and the Gambler,” but few lived the lifestyle quite like Lemmy. He was known for his love of slot machines, which he playfully referred to as “one-armed bandits,” Lemmy’s relationship with gambling was as legendary as his musical career.
For performers, the excitement of gambling often mirrors the adrenaline rush of live performances. Both require quick decision-making, confidence, and the ability to read situations – skills that many musicians have developed throughout their careers.
A competitive spirit drives both musical success and gaming excellence, where musicians apply their strategic timing and decision-making skills.
Technology now empowers musicians to engage with gambling in entirely new ways. While casino visits once limited past generations, modern artists access gaming platforms from anywhere – tour buses, recording studios, or hotel rooms. Mobile gaming apps smooth this transition, creating sophisticated platforms that rival traditional casino experiences.
This accessibility has changed the relationship between musicians and gambling. Gone are the days when gaming was limited to Las Vegas stops on tour. Now, artists can engage in everything from poker tournaments to sports betting, regardless of their location. The global nature of online platforms means musicians can connect with other players worldwide, creating an entirely new social dynamic.
The privacy offered by online platforms particularly appeals to high-profile musicians who prefer to keep their gaming activities discrete.
Success in music often comes with exposure to luxury environments where high-stakes gaming is commonplace. From VIP casino performances to exclusive poker rooms, musicians frequently find themselves in settings where gambling is part of the social fabric. This immersion in high-end gaming culture often begins early in their careers, as even smaller venues increasingly partner with gaming establishments.
Many artists have found that gambling has become part of their social circle’s regular activities. Whether it’s friendly poker games backstage or group betting on sporting events, gaming often serves as both entertainment and social bonding. The camaraderie built around these gaming sessions often extends beyond the music industry, creating valuable networking opportunities.
This natural exposure, combined with disposable income, creates an environment where gambling becomes an accessible and appealing pastime.
The evolution of the relationship between musicians and gambling has taken an interesting turn in recent years. Many artists and bands have found innovative ways to merge their musical brand with gaming enterprises, from themed slot machines featuring iconic rock anthems to exclusive partnerships with online gaming platforms.
These collaborations extend beyond simple licensing deals. Some musicians have become actively involved in the development of gaming content, ensuring their artistic vision translates into the gaming experience.
From virtual concert experiences in online casinos to custom poker tournaments featuring meet-and-greet opportunities, the intersection of music and gambling continues to find new expressions.
The trend shows no signs of slowing, as both industries recognize the natural synergy between entertainment and gaming. As technology continues to advance, we’re likely to see even more creative collaborations between musicians and the gambling world, further cementing the historical connection between these two dynamic industries.
The relationship between musical success and gambling isn’t without its cautionary tales. Several well-known musicians have shared stories about learning to maintain a healthy balance between enjoying gaming and avoiding its pitfalls.
Many artists now approach gambling as they do with their music career – a mix of passion and professionalism. They understand the importance of setting limits and maintaining perspective, especially given their influence on fans.
As both the music and gaming industries continue to evolve, the connection between financial success in music and attraction to gambling remains a fascinating aspect of entertainment culture.
