I’m a documentary filmmaker who lives in the woods of northern Minnesota.
This is somewhat cathartic.

Putting a random score on top of Tod Browning’s Dracula is fascinating. Like playing Dark Side of the Moon over The Wizard of Oz.

should absolutely put Dark Side of the Moon on this.

Svengoolie is airing Tod Browning’s Dracula with a soundtrack used for a French DVD release? That feels weird. Not as weird as colorizing The Maltese Falcon. But still weird.

What’s the story behind the abandoned Cold War station in Finland, Minn.?
Now a ghost town, the remote spot on Lookout Mountain was once part of a secret defense network.

This is an epic 90-second documentary. (I mostly watch the Olympics for the documentaries.)

I'm not on this podcast. But it's very good. And it mentions my documentary Cold War Secrets of Northern Minnesota. (Which reporter Christa Lawler also calls "very good.") So give it a listen!

AOC: An agency that is attacking U.S. citizens, kidnapping five-year-olds and using them as bait, and privately circulating the idea that they can violate the rights of Americans by busting down their doors—they deserve to be defunded, and I’ll take any step in that direction.

There's a white supremacist "March Against Minnesota" tomorrow in Minneapolis. Temps will be single digits. I keep thinking of that X-Files episode where a time-traveling Fox Mulder yelled at Nazis before they marched into Russia: "You're all big men now but ... Hope you fellas like the cold!"

The Bone Temple is about a guy who lives in the woods working on his weird art projects and listening to records while the world is falling apart. I have never related more to any other movie ever.

I saw The Bone Temple last night and it definitively proves that skipping a Gen X president led to America’s downfall. Stay tuned for my 12-part YouTube series on this topic.

I don't know how much Russia's brutally cold winter temps actually contributed to the defeat of the Nazi army in WW2. But it's something I like to think about as the Minnesota forecast turns colder this weekend and people remember that they don't have to let shivering ICE agents into their homes.
