Onslaught and Matchbox.

I was honestly a bit surprised Onslaught was an A24 film, it seemed a little cheesy for that.

Also, broke A24's formula about things being metaphors for trauma. For once, trauma itself is the metaphor for trauma (in other words, not a metaphor). Who knew?

Matchbox was goofy, and probably didn't land like they'd hoped, but it's definitely in the wheelhouse of Mattel leaning in to goofy movies based on their properties. Has vague vibes similar to Masters of the Universe in terms of goofiness. So, middling, but enjoyable.
