In about an hour, @janjozone.bsky.social is joining Marty and I on The ReWind.

We'll be talking about Nintendo's very bizarre animated short and "One Battle After Another" which is very good... unsurprisingly very good... but like VERY GOOD.

Watch/Listen Here:

Ha!

Insanity!
It feels so wrong to put up Halloween decorations in shorts and a tank top!

This is how I want to live!

This is all I want! The ability for you specifically (and the rest of us by proxy) to wear all our cute fall outfits.

I yearn for many things but right now, nothing is stronger than my yearning for comfortable pant weather.

I long for layers.
I plead for my plaids.
I want for this unseasonable warmth... to waver.

Sometimes, so am I.

Sometimes my fingers are faster than my brain.

YouTube video by Second Wind Exploring the Haunted Forests of Vartio w/ Jack and Jenna

In about an hour, I'm back streaming with @thejenna.bsky.social playing Vartio (and them maybe some more PEAK)

The twist this time is that my glasses broke and will slowly make me look more and more disheveled while Jenna's dishes broke and the will slowly look more like glass...

Watch Here:

Early in One Battle After Another, as the revolutionary group known as the French ’75 collapses in the aftermath a bank robbery gone wrong, Howard Sommerville (Paul Grimstad) explains the concept of a “trust” device to panicking father Pat Calhoun (Leonardo DiCaprio), who is about to go on the run with his infant daughter Charlene (Chase Infiniti), who have just been given the identities of Bob and Willa Ferguson. The trust device plays a musical cue. However, it does not work in isolation. If the trust device plays that musical cue in proximity to another such device, the two will harmonize and produce a melody. In that way, in that moment, the two parties holding these devices will understand intuitively that they can trust one another. The only other people carrying such devices are fellow revolutionaries. It is a way for Bob and Willa to recognize allies that they might not know that they have. The trust device is only used a couple of times within the movie, most notably in an early sequence where Bob’s old colleague Deandra (Regina Hall) rescues Willa from a high school dance moments before a military raid and at the climax when Bob and Willa are reunited on a desolate Californian highway. However, it serves as an extended metaphor for one of the core themes of One Battle After Another. As in a lot of Paul Thomas Anderson movies, music is important. Throughout the film, the scattered and fragmented members of the French ’75 identify one another by quoting the lyrics of Gil Scott-Heron beat-poem anthem The Revolution Will Not Be Televised at one another. Deandra coaxes Willa through it before the rescue, and Bob struggles to remember the lyrics while on the phone to an operator (Jena Malone). In some ways, this is just a human version of the trust device, a way for the two characters to understand that they are part of a common cause.

Oh, I went long on "One Battle After Another" for @secondwindgroup.com.

How Paul Thomas Anderson crafted a tale that understands the one key advantage revolution has over fascism. We are all in it together.

I'm here for ButteredBreadTok!

I'll add it to the list.

HAHA!

.... yeah.

One final one... buttering bread.

Right!?!
And is that such a terrible ask? To find someone who will be a messy bitch with me?!?!

I know KFM!
That movie would be SIGNIFICANTLY hornier!!!

Not sure what KFM is.
This is from Rear Window(1954) and the actress is Geogine Darcy as "Miss Torso".

Alfred Hitchcock was the master of suspense.

A still image from the movie "Rear Window" It depicts James Steward as "Jeff" and Grace Kelly as "Lisa" Jeff is sitting down and Lisa is standing next to him. Both are looking off camera with JUST THE BITCHIEST face. They are watching Jeff's neighbors and judging the hell out of them. There is text superimposed on top of the still reading #CoupleGoals Like, I would like to be in a relationship like this. Where we gossip about everything.

Also, the way that Jeff and Lisa fall more in love while gossiping and shit talking the neighbors... I'M HERE FOR IT!

When I say that I love classic movies... this is what I mean.

YES!

Will our heroes defeat an ancient demon?
Will our heroes HOLD HANDS!!!!

In about 90 minutes, @thejenna.bsky.social and I will be playing some Nightreign with special guest/friend of the channel/man with excellent speaking voice @matthewkrol.nebula.tv! Can they carry me even though my pockets are full of Smithing Stones (2)? Find out here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=-S_H...

Also, I know this is niche... but if someone would have pitched Dan Da Dan as:

"Like a CW Rom-Com, where the "will-they-won't-they" leads occasionally fight demons and aliens."

...I would have watched the show much sooner.

Alright Ep 6 of Dan Da Dan... the character that finds the Golden Ball...
Ya Got Me!
I'm in!

Good stuff.

I'm here for whatever he does next.
