Watch Bison Kaalamaadan | Netflix In rural Tamil Nadu, a gifted kabaddi player fights for dignity and a community cast aside as he seeks to defy those who stand in his way.

I’m seeing a lot of talk about Train Dreams on Netflix, but I wanted to point out that the new Mari Selvaraj (Karnan) blockbuster, Bison: Kaalamaadan, is also on there right now. www.netflix.com/title/81782075

SUCH a thrill to get to talk DRUGSTORE COWBOY, the American Indie New Wave of the 90s, and Matt Dillons slutty little crop tops on a stage. What a way to spend my last day of my thirties!

Their Show Cracked Open the World: Siskel & Ebert Memories | Roger Ebert | Roger Ebert Our contributors weigh in on the impact of Gene Siskel and Roger Ebert on the 50th anniversary of their hit TV show, "At the Movies."

"At all times, he wrote to be understood, not to be deciphered."

I waxed poetic on what Roger (and Gene) meant to me as a kid and mean to me as a writer, along with my colleagues at @ebertvoices.

"Billy Bob drawls one deadpan crack after another about the sissification of modern society; the season’s opening scene sees him go off on a waitress about cornflakes ('You think our ancestors had breakfast?')." @clintworthing.bsky.social evicts Landman. www.rogerebert.com/streaming/la...

β€œWith its second season, the show struggles to find new reserves to plumb and veers off in some crazy directions to do it,” writes @clintworthing.bsky.social about Taylor Sheridan's LANDMAN, which he calls β€œthe dumbest fracking show.”

Season 2 of LANDMAN drills deeper into what makes that show one of the dumbest, most regressive (and perversely fascinating) shows in the Taylor Sheridan catalog. Turn and run, but I won't blame you for peeking at the trainwreck. For @ebertvoices.bsky.social:
