The Naked Gun Files From Leslie Nielsen’s fart machine to Liam Neeson’s deadpan reboot—this is the absurd, untouchable history of The Naked Gun.

It was fun to go deep into the original NAKED GUN this week on the Unspooled Substack, Original Script Pages, Side by Side Comparisons to M Squad, A hilarious detail about Leslie Neilsen's Funeral, and more.

Dream couple. Well done.

They flex it on dating apps and recite ‘the pledge’: Inside the Gen Z cult of AMC A-list AMC A-List, the movie theater chain's subscription membership that allows cinephiles to see up to four movies a week, has developed a cult-like fanbase among Gen Z moviegoers.

Heartbreak feels good reading a piece like this

You're raising them well 👏

Maybe the podcast of two people doesn't amount to a hill of beans. But this is our hill. And these are our beans.

I'll be there in a week and a half!

Review: An icky-sweet metaphor for codependence, 'Together' is romantic body horror with a heart This bold horror-romance hybrid from Michael Shanks stars real-life celebrity couple Dave Franco and Alison Brie as an unhappy pair with attachment issues.

TOGETHER is the only romance you’ll see this year that’s infatuated by John Carpenter and Plato.

Gross? Totally. But empathetic too.

Review: Liam Neeson takes aim at his rote thriller roles in the giddy, riotous “The Naked Gun” The Lonely Island's Akiva Schaffer pairs Pamela Anderson with the star of “Schindler’s List” for a comedy that takes everything — and nothing — seriously

THE NAKED GUN is Liam Neeson’s best career move since SCHINDLER'S LIST.

Deltron 3030 reunion tour. Insane that an album recorded 25 years ago and set one millennium from now feels made for this very millisecond

Review: The funny-tragic rom-com 'Oh, Hi!' starts blissful, ends toxic This doomy rom-com by filmmaker Sophie Brooks stars Molly Gordon and Logan Lerman as a young couple handcuffed by their inability to evolve past old gender tropes.

The high-stakes romantic comedy OH, HI! is a backhanded compliment to lotharios like Rudolph Valentino, James Bond and Jordan Belfort. At least those frank seducers wanted quickies. Logan Lerman strings women along pretending to be a sweetheart.

In Defense of the Traditional Review Far from being a journalistic relic, as suggested by recent developments at the New York Times, arts criticism is inherently progressive, keeping art honest and pointing toward its future.

Every word of this, from @tnyfrontrow.bsky.social: www.newyorker.com/culture/the-...

My pals at @vidiots.bsky.social created an interactive experience during the film breaking fakeout scene in their screening of Gremlins 2: The New Batch last weekend. It's even better than what I had hoped to do in 1990! 😁

Thank you!! ❤️

Very nice!

Review: 'The Fantastic Four: First Steps' is a grown-up glow-up for the superhero genre The director of "WandaVision" assembles a retro throwback with Jell-O salads and classic sci-fi pacing, starring Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby and Ebon Moss-Bachrach.

THE FANTASTIC FOUR: FIRST STEPS slots into summer blockbuster season like a square peg in a round popcorn bucket. Watching it, I felt as snug as being nestled in the backseat of my grandparents’ car at the drive-in.

Best new subscription I've added this year by far!

Wired is such a worthwhile subscription that it’s almost hard to believe it’s real in 2025?

Commentary: Stephen Colbert's 'Late Show' is canceled, but he won't go quietly into that goodnight CBS announced on Thursday that 'The Late Show With Stephen Colbert' would end in 2026, but the timing, coincidental or not, comes as Paramount tries to sell itself to Skydance.

Another piece for a Friday, on Stephen Colbert, past, present and ? www.latimes.com/entertainmen...

Review: The sharpest hook is nostalgia in a silly reboot of 'I Know What You Did Last Summer' Director Jennifer Kaytin Robinson resurrects Freddie Prinze Jr. but also allows a new cast — including Chase Sui Wonders and Madelyn Cline — to shine.

I KNOW WHAT YOU DID LAST SUMMER:

This perky update has a few things going for it, including low expectations. It loves its leads (Madelyn Cline!😍) and never becomes that kind of violent vaudeville where you can’t wait for the hook to drag someone off screaming.

Ari Aster’s ‘Eddington’ Is a Mirror. Like What You See? The Big Picture · Episode

EDDINGTON is the movie of the year. Maybe of the decade.

Amanda, @brofromanother.bsky.social, and I dive into it on The Big Picture. Then Ari Aster joins me to talk about his new film.

Review: Doomscrolling is a disease in 'Eddington,' a fever dream about COVID conspiracies A sheriff, a mayor and a virus walk into a bar in Ari Aster’s bleak and brain-sick satire that stars a dueling Joaquin Phoenix, Pedro Pascal and Emma Stone.

Ari Aster’s EDDINGTON is such a superb social satire about contemporary America that I want to bury it in the desert for 20 years. More distance will make it easier to laugh.

Shirt goals!

Gremlins 2 with a deserved blue ribbon win.

Black light (and stenciled!) Mexican hairless broke new technical ground, scored the audience fave.

Top tier work this year, buddies ❤️❤️

It is once again the best day of the year.
