I know most of my Jonathan Bailey content is just thirst posts, but I am genuinely invested in his success. He’s on the precipice of becoming a major star, which is incredible to be as an out gay man. I think that’s so vital, especially now, and means so much. I hope he does it.

I wasn’t able to see them but I’m sure they will come up and we can touch on them!

Oh it will be addressed.

Y’all I have six full handwritten pages of notes from watching Glenn in Sunset Blvd for @theglennpod.bsky.social 🥴

Gonna be a doozy of an episode!

The only song I enjoy on that album is Elizabeth Taylor

YouTube video by Manu Leite The Little Foxes 1956 - Greer Garson

Loved hearing @sophiacim.bsky.social and @kevinjacobsen.bsky.social talk about how Greer Garson should have had a role like Dangerous Liaisons. Not sure if you all know that she played Regina in a TV version of The Little Foxes which is a change from her usual image: youtu.be/DO_CtMTBRC8?...

This season is off to a rough start 😬 what a snooze #Survivor

Had a silly time with @claudioalvesdc.bsky.social discussing how The House of the Spirits whitewashes Isabel Allende's novel, the film's lack of authenticity, the epic actressing event of seeing Glenn Close and Meryl Streep share the screen together, and so much more! Give it a listen!

He’s so pretty I want to cry

One Battle After Another: One of those films where you recognize from the opening scenes that the director is in full control of his vision. Many of today’s social satirists could learn a thing or two from how PTA plays with topical themes without being overly didactic!

This was a very special conversation about a special film. Thank you @charliemcdowell.bsky.social for your time and for being a part of helping shepherd yet another great performance from Glenn!

Marion Cotillard joining Reese Witherspoon and Jennifer Aniston on The Morning Show…the 2014 Best Actress race energy is too powerful.

Expecting Rosamund Pike with the fiercest corporate bob you’ve ever seen on the next ep.

My on-brand Broadway Flea Market find 😊

No set plans, but a return to And the Runner-Up Is with a different category is certainly an option, as is an entirely new show. Enjoying the Glennergy for now!

@andtherunnerupis.bsky.social has mostly been on hiatus for a few months, but the episode I posted yesterday helped push it past 500,000 total downloads!

It's been a fun journey since uploading that first episode in 2018! Thanks to all of you who have listened!

The Shining (1980)

Now for the other Woman Robbed revisit 👻

Next week on a very special episode of @theglennpod.bsky.social, I chat with Charlie McDowell, director of The Summer Book starring Glenn Close!

So excited for you to hear our in-depth conversation on this beautiful film, which is in theaters this weekend!

Thank you! I’ll boil up something good to celebrate!

Just so I'm clear:

TV host says we should kill every homeless person? No big deal

TV host says the right must "go to war" with the left? Pfft.

TV host says the government is cracking down on critics? Well, the government cracks down on him for the criticism.

Free speech, everyone.

MAGA is so unbelievably fragile, my god.

Showgirls (1995)

Now revisiting for A Woman Robbed 😜

We’re so back! Had a blast with @danielmontgomery.bsky.social talking the most recent Best Picture race, exploring how Conclave was the likely runner-up, how Anora won, and our wildly different takes on many of the other nominees!

‘One Battle After Another’ Review: Paul Thomas Anderson’s Satirical Saga is the Defining American Film of the Decade [A] When reviewing Thomas Pynchon’s postmodern tale of American transformation, “Vineland,” Frank McConnell of the LA Times described the book as, “Quite simply, one of those books that will make this world – our world, our daily chemical-preservative, plastic-wrapped bread – a little more tolerable, a little more human.” When it was rumored that American auteur Paul Thomas Anderson was crafting his own cinematic version of “Vineland,” many wondered just how true he would stay to the text.

Devastated to hear the news of Robert Redford's passing. Off the charts screen charisma, with a twinkle in his eye and a sensitivity that separated him from his contemporaries. Will always be grateful for Ordinary People 💔
