Everything is awful and the richest, biggest assholes continue to win, so we discuss rich assholes and secret societies on this week’s The Good, The Bad, and The What with #Society (1989), #TheConspiracy (2012), and #InfinityPool (2023). Give it a listen: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

Great mail day after a long (but successful) event week. Scorsese! Boorman! Madonna! George Kennedy fighting an alien Bigfoot! Cinema!

His kids’ names are literally the name of a notorious Trump supporter’s most famous character, so yeah, sadly Ricky Bobby would accept.

On this week’s episode of The Good, The Bad, and The What #podcast, we look at three one-man-army programmers from action stars with odious politics with #AnEyeForAnEye (1981), #Cobra (1986), and #OutForJustice (1991). Give it a listen! podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

One of my favorite theater experiences ever. One of the great psychedelic mind-melters. #NowWatching - in stunning 4K - THE VISITOR (1979)

On this week’s The Good, The Bad, and The What #podcast, it’s an explosive episode as we discuss three Molten Metropolises with the dueling 1997 flicks #DantesPeak and #Volcano, as well as 2006’s #DisasterZoneVolcanoInNewYork. Give it a listen! podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

Watching #JackassTheMovie on DVD just to feel something.

On this week’s The Good, The Bad, and The What #podcast, we discuss three American satires relevant to our current moment with the Coen Brothers’ BURN AFTER READING (2008), Bobcat Goldthwait’s GOD BLESS AMERICA (2011), and Boots Riley’s SORRY TO BOTHER YOU (2018). podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

Rewatching DANTE’S PEAK for next week’s podcast and this is prime “we didn’t know how good we had it” cinema. Patient, yet lean. Unpretentious, but stylish with beautiful analog spectacle galore. Movies like this came out every week in the ‘90s.

Stoked to see the strong early reviews for WUTHERING HEIGHTS. I get to a lot of films solo, but sadly my wife and I have only seen two films in the theater together since our youngest was born (A HAUNTING IN VENICE and M:I - THE FINAL RECKONING), so happy to hear good things about our third!

Favorite First Time Watches January 2026: 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple (2026) Day of the Assassin (1979) Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark (1973) Hell Has No Boundary (1982) It Was Just An Accident (2025) No Other Choice (2025) Roadgames (1981) Sentimental Value (2025) Sex Beyond the Grave (1984)

Reading the box office news today, I am “Who or what is a Markiplier?” years old.

Everything is heavy, but I am looking forward to experiencing pure joy while watching this masterpiece for 80 minutes. #LadyTerminator #TheBeacon

On this week’s The Good, The Bad, and The What, we dive into @vinsyn.bsky.social’s excellent Shaw Scares Vol. 1 box set with HAUNTED TALES (1980), HELL HAS NO BOUNDARY (1982), and SEX BEYOND THE GRAVE (1984). Give it a listen! podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

We now go live to Darren Aronofsky in his AI Director’s Jail

Congrats to Super Bowl LX Champion “Whoever Wins the NFC Championship.”

I don’t want to hear anything from an elected official unless it’s a plan to defund the DHS and impeach Noem, Bovino, etc. No texts. No emails. No talk about the economy. Step up or step off.

Please get off your ass and do something other than writing “sternly-worded letters.” Quit being a spineless coward.

"Just stay cool and don't make trouble until the midterms" is not going to cut it as an opposition response to a murderous regime whose masked thugs are killing people in the streets and then attempting to round up witnesses and destroy evidence.

introduce yourself with 5 concerts you’ve seen with WOMEN lead singers Chromatics Desire Halestorm Katy Perry Sugarland

On this week’s The Good, The Bad, and The What #podcast, we take a break from our usual format to discuss our Top 10 Films of 2025. Bad year for most things, but a great year for movies. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

I won’t complain because theaters need movies - *any* movies - now more than ever, but I have a suspicion that after last summer’s screen-life WAR OF THE WORLDS that we collectively meme’d MERCY into being a theatrical movie as opposed to a streaming one.

Anyone hiring a Community Manager or Social Media Manager? I've worked in community, content or social at companies such as Sling TV, Dread Central, Letterboxd, Intel, Giving Tuesday, AWS, and Shudder. I'm also a former teacher and wrote a book about Twitter. Resume docs.google.com/document/d/1...

Another year, another subscription to @vinsyn.bsky.social goodness.

Dear Texans, Please do to The Pats what you did to my Steelers last week. Sincerely, A Pats hater since The Tuck Rule

Phillip Rivers after hearing the news of Bo Nix’s injury

On this week’s The Good, The Bad, and The What #podcast, we discuss three thrillers about long haul truckers with Spielberg’s debut film DUEL (1971), the great Ozploitation film ROADGAMES (1981), and seemingly Millennial favorite JOY RIDE (2001).

The *real* Bone Temple was the dongs we hung along the way.

It sucks opening my feed and seeing everyone openly celebrating my team’s defeat, but I also hate Rodgers as much as all of you, so I don’t really know what to say here other than this season has been a huge fucking bummer.

Aaron Rodgers and Mike Tomlin, retire.

Honored to have my video countdown featured on this year’s @letterboxd.social Year in Review! Thanks LB! My video can be found here (youtu.be/5dWlwXODvH8?... ), and be sure to check out everyone’s videos and an overall terrific recap in the reposted link!

Somehow forgot to post last week’s GBW episode to socials 🤦‍♂️ So this week, two updates! First, we leave 2025 in the dumpster where it belongs by tackling the “Citizen Kane(s) of Bad Movies” with PLAN 9 FROM OUTER SPACE (1958), TROLL 2 (1990), and THE ROOM (2003). podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

The “prosecute the former regime at every level” candidate has my vote in 2028.

Peaceful vigil for Renee Good tonight in Seattle.

2025 was… a year, to put it mildly. But, it was a great year for cinema. And one of my favorite things to do is cut my year-end Top 25 video. Give it a watch, and see you at the movies! youtu.be/5dWlwXODvH8?...

Dear legislator: I am not remotely interested in your personal "take" on what the Trump administration did in Venezuela. I would much prefer it if you initiated some kind of action and then told us about it.

2020: First Cow 2021: Titane 2022: Moonage Daydream 2023: Killers of the Flower Moon 2024: Challengers 2025: Sinners

And that’s a wrap on 2025.

If you're in the Seattle area, and you missed Reflection in a Dead Diamond on the big screen in 2025, it plays the Beacon Cinema Jan 9 and 10 as part of their Super Krime series--the entire thing looks rad, not least Jacques Rivette's 773-minute Out 1. Tickets: thebeacon.film/calendar/mov...

I’m sure I can think of many others, but this one has always stuck with me: youtu.be/7AQSLozK7aA?...

Still have a few films to catch up on, either they’re not out yet in Seattle (NO OTHER CHOICE, THE TESTAMENT OF ANN LEE) or came and went during my busy season (THE MASTERMIND, SENTIMENTAL VALUE), but here are my favorite films of 2025 of the 76 new releases I saw!
