Instant fave for me! It's got all the things I love! Political intrigue, an insanely good Jack Lemmon performance, and indictments against American foreign policy!

FRIENDSHIP and EDDINGTON are a perfect double-feature: two movies about ABSOLUTE losers willing to torpedo their entire lives to feel even a modicum of significance in an increasingly isolating and lonely world.

ME: Watch this AEW match with me. (Mox v Hangman at All-In)

MY WIFE: I don’t like the really bloody matches.

ME: it won’t be THAT bad (a white lie, but I thought by the time it got bloody, she’d be into it).

Literally 2 minutes into the match….

Imagine a Coldplay concert ruining your life.

Not enough words to describe what an ABSOLUTE BANGER this movie is.

🚨🚨NEW EP🚨🚨

We watched this year's SINNERS and discussed Ryan Coogler's young career, the origins of blues music in the Jim Crow south, and ,of course, vampires!

ECHO VALLEY is one of the most unpleasant movies I've seen in a while. Not graphic or anything, just a lot of unpleasant characters doing unpleasant things to unpleasant results, with not a whole lot to say.

We're back! And it's our final episode in our series on movies about the SPANISH CIVIL WAR!

I got to be on the @loadbearingbeams.bsky.social podcast and talk about American Psycho! It was great fun! Check it out!

Florida schools will comply with ICE on campuses: Education department Schools across America, including in Florida, are gearing up for the possibility of officials with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) showing up to their campuses.

As an educator, I will NEVER become an agent of the state and will not assist in rounding up, separating, and deporting undocumented Americans.

A lot of hack comedians use comedy as a an excuse to be terribly racist.

Tony Hinchcliffe can’t even do that right; he’s the kind of hack who uses racism as an excuse to do terrible comedy.

I LOVE THIS INSANE MOVIE!

Man……. BEETLEJUICE BEETLEJUICE is a soulless mess with none of the energy or whimsy of the original. Feels like when some half-past dead rock-star tries to tour again…he’s singing the song, but it sounds like shit and there’s a 50% chance he might die on stage.

I am going to see BEETLEJUICE BEETLEJUICE will be seen my me.

Weekend getaway to St. George Island.

Whewww!!!…..IYKYK

This was a fun series! And ery thankful to our guest Jared O’Connor for his brilliant insight into SALÒ.

I guess not

What a lovely Sunday! Maybe I’ll watch something relaxing….. 👀 👀 👀 💀 💀 💀

(Watching for the next episode of @redrosefilm.bsky.social)

This movie fucking rules!

One of the scariest movies I’e seen in ages. Every scare is earned from patient filmmaking that builds a FORTRESS of uneasiness. Inventive, strange, and funny, at times.

Our new episode is up! We watched Visconti’s THE DAMNED (a first time watch for me and it knocked my socks off!). Hal and I talked about fascism, nazis, and LGBTQ people during the rise of the 3rd Reich.

🚨🚨NEW EPISODE🚨🚨

Our final episode in our series on films about Che Guevara! We watched Walter Salles' 2004 film THE MOTORCYCLE DIARIES. We talk Che, persecution of communists, vanguardism, and more!!!
