Die Hard On A Blank & 48 Hours of Buddy Movies!

Movie poster artwork for REBEL RIDGE (2024)

The brilliance of REBEL RIDGE is that it’s a slow burn thriller that wastes no time. Every frame is rich with pulsing intention. Saulnier delivers my favorite Netflix film since DOLEMITE IS MY NAME and firmly mints Aaron Pierre as a movie star. I only wish I could’ve watched this one in a theater.

How Rambo Turned a Complicated Antihero into Agitprop When 'Rambo: First Blood Part II' hit theaters 35 years ago, it was a commercial and cultural sensation. But it also turned its protagonist into a cartoon.

'First Blood' was released on this day in 1982. For @crooked-marquee.bsky.social, I wrote about how the 'Rambo' series started as something quite different than what it became: crookedmarquee.com/how-rambo-tu...

One of our favorite Bigelow Boys.

It’s Die Hard in a taxi!

PHONE BOOTH with Miami Nice (Blake Howard and Katie Walsh)!

When the @diehardoab.bsky.social boys asked @katiewalshstx.bsky.social and I to pair up for a Colin Farrell / Joel Schumacher joint, it was as irresistible as an early 2000s goatee open.spotify.com/episode/5rIc...

This is great. This film has always been a disappointment. It always seemed like a meal of the best ingredients served cold on a paper plate. The opening credits are great and just keeps sliding after that... Looking forward to learning more.

This week we're joined by Shahir Daud (of @onlymoviepodcast.bsky.social) to talk about Panic Room and why the production of the film, rather than the story or ideas, seems to reflect David Fincher's obsessions.

Jack Palance walked out of the set of BATMAN and onto the set of TANGO & CASH.
