Together is out this weekend. It’s good! Go see it if you’re not squeamish. Haven’t seen Naked Gun yet but I’m very eager to do so.

It is indeed. Or, as he would call it, a “re-invention.”

Kingcast is delayed by a day because of scheduling the actual interview. Just wrapped up with none other than Chuck Russell. That’ll be live tomorrow. Spiel will have an episode running on Monday!

Caught in 4K remembering how awful navigating the floor is! Spacial awareness is apparently a craft not many attendees have mastered.

Good #SDCC day. @ericvespe.bsky.social and I hosted The Long Walk panel in Hall H. 🚶‍♂️ 🚶 🚶‍♀️ 💥

@markhamillofficial.bsky.social stole the show. Obviously.

@stephenking.bsky.social warns: this film has “some hard bark on it.”

Quint has a strange and unusual interview with Winona Ryder! We talk pets, Frankenweenie,... Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. I was quite excited to get a little bit of time with Winona Ryder when she came through Austin to premiere Frankenweenie at Fantastic Fest. I really didn’t know what to expe...

Yeah, and got roasted for it in the talkbacks.

I interviewed Winona a while back and we spent the first third of the chat discussing our cat’s heritage (her cat’s lineage had been in her family since before she was born). Protect this woman at all costs.

After @brezwrites.bsky.social and I left the stage we got to hang out with the cast and filmmakers for a few minutes and let me tell you, it’s such a treat to watch @markhamillofficial.bsky.social hold court. What a whirlwind day. Thanks to @lionsgate.com for having us.

Just wrapped up the Comic-Con panel for The Long Walk. Hope everybody in Hall H enjoys the first 22 minutes of the movie! Funnily enough, they had to black out a particularly brutal first death in the movie. Too intense for SDCC! The movie does not flinch, trust me!

Our panel on The Long Walk is imminent! If I can maintain a walking speed of 3mph I should get there in time. See you soon, Hall H!

Among the greatest promotional photos of all time are these for the 1990 television movie of IT, where it looks like a prestige legal drama about a firm of hot young lawyers and one associate who likes to dress up like a clown.

Best part of the SDCC show floor are all the weird little collectible booths. Movie posters, OOP soundtracks, toys, books, etc. I nabbed this great Cycle of the Werewolf promo poster from 1985 tonight!

On my way to Comic-Con for the first time since leaving Ain’t It Cool. The Kingcast is moderating the Long Walk panel this Friday in Hall H! Gonna be pretty epic!

Holy jumped-up bald headed Jesus palomino! Always so happy to see @sgj.bsky.social and @ericvespe.bsky.social together. It’s moments like these that make me feel lucky to live in Austin. Also, what an honor to witness the first Gary Busey screening at @austinfilm.bsky.social. Goodnight, Marty.

Tonight at the AFS Cinema! Watch a movie, listen to two nerds talk about it, and pick up a copy of SGJ’s newest book!

This one is particularly rough and I found it a bit cowardly how it goes out of its way to give credence to the conspiracy nuts out there.

Oh, I also saw the new I Know What You Did Last Summer. My thoughtful, well-reasoned critique:

Thankfully he has nothing to do with the movie. Just love using this gif when I didn’t like something but don’t want to spend a long time trash-talking it.

I really, really didn’t like Eddington. I haven’t had such a visceral negative reaction to a movie in a long time. Like, everybody is good in the movie but man did I totally bounce off of the story and premise.

Sounds like Fox News has another Superman to take down. Live by the sword, die by the sword, Dean. Fair is fair.

The non-petty reason I’m pulling for Superman to resonate with mass audiences is it would be a sign that people are resisting cynicism, which has been running rampant for a while. Troll culture has been dominant lately and it’d be a nice win for empathy if this particular story is embraced.

Box office does not equate to quality. If Superman were to bomb this weekend (and I don’t think it will) I wouldn’t love it any less. That said, it would be nice to see it make bank just so all the worst parts of fandom melt down into puddles of teary rage. Petty? Maybe. But honest!
