Publication history

Movies (and Other Things) is Shea Serrano and Arturo Torres’s third book together. It was published by Twelve, an imprint of Grand Central at Hachette.

Content

The 256-page book has 30 chapters on different movies. Each is illustrated by Torres and each poses a question to be answered in the essay.

Actor John Leguizamo contributed a preface and Don Cheadle wrote an afterword.[5]

Reception

In the Los Angeles Times, Jen Yamato wrote, "Each essay turns the pop culture whiz's voracious appetite for movies of the last several decades into jumping-off points for wider cultural conversations and curiosities."[6] In Esquire, Jack Holmes called it “a charming examination of industry tropes and his personal hobby-horses across all the movies he's watched—sometimes many times—since the '80s."[7]
