One of my favorite things is getting to tell friends who are new to NYC that the subway "stand clear of the closing doors please" voice is a trans woman named Bernie Wagenblast and she's amazing.

I really wound up enjoying HEDDA, which also confirms that we should continue letting DaCosta make movies and stay the fuck out of her way

β€˜Heated Rivalry’ Review: Episodes 1 & 2 Trot out a sexy sporting metaphor because the Internet’s favourite gay hockey show has finally arrived.

I reviewed the smutty Canadian gay hockey show (because of course I did!)

It's entertaining, but the decision to retain author Rachel Reid's hyper accelerated timeline does nothing to help the non-sexy bits.

(Thankfully the sex is pretty darn hot πŸ₯΅)

This movie is a fucking delight and so is this audio commentary where @tracedthurman.bsky.social and I are clearly having too much fun!

SPA NIGHT is such a quiet, devastating film.

It feels like a tragedy in slow motion and @conrad-esq.bsky.social and I really enjoyed Seo’s lead performance

Three people - a woman in a red dress, a man in a black t-shirt, and a shirtless bald man - sitting next to a white haired man in jeans and a blue button up shirt.

Shocking no one: MISERY remains as fantastic as ever 35 years later.

And it was delightful to have the iconic @rozhernandez.bsky.social join us to talk Annie Wilkes as Hagsploitation and old people’s sex lives!

Finally: I don’t think THIRTEEN LIVES would have been in awards contention, but it’s a really solid (harrowing) aquatic disaster flick.

Kudos to the sound team because OOF, the underwater stuff really got me

Blame it on the sickness (?) but KEEPER didn’t work for me at all.

I’ll give her this: she’s super committed when she signs up, though. Her enthusiasm on the JURASSIC set was undeniable

β€˜IT: Welcome to Derry’ Episode 5 Review Pennywise (Bill SkarsgΓ₯rd) makes his debut on IT: Welcome to Derry in an episode that takes the action into the sewers below β€œNeibolt Street”.

Pennywise finally returned on this week’s #itwelcometoderry.

Here’s my take on a sewer heavy episode of the HBO series
