Kinda just astonished that Nine Inch Noize even exists, immediately among the very best of Trent's career. The Peel It Back Tour felt like he was more alive than ever, and there are little teases of NINoize in that show, but man, this is something else. Feels like a miracle.

Ahead of her stunning debut feature, Blue Heron (the year’s best film), hitting theaters, I had a wonderful conversation with Sophy Romvari all about it. inreviewonline.com/2026/04/16/j...

God I love Ben Wheatley. None of this winking at the audience bullshit that infects a lot of contemporary genre filmmaking; just pure unbridled sincerity, no matter how silly the material.

Had a great time sitting down with the wonderful and insightful Bob Odenkirk to talk about his new film Normal, Jackie Chan, reflecting on his heart attack five years later, and why sketch comedy and fight choreography aren't all that different www.menshealth.com/entertainmen...

Making my debut at Filmmaker Mag, I had a great, in depth chat with director Daniel Goldhaber and writer Isa Mazzei on their excellent new film, Faces of Death. One of my favorites of the year, check it out below! filmmakermagazine.com/133590-inter...

As Killers of the Flower Moon enters the Criterion Collection, I had another wonderful conversation with Lily Gladstone, this time about the film, compartmentalizing joy with tragedy and cinema as oral tradition. One of my favorite people to talk to: inreviewonline.com/2026/04/04/a...

lily gladstone is one of those people where every interview is better than the last and i don't know how she keeps doing that

Rewatching To Live and Die in LA and I’m always so obsessed with William Petersen’s Steelers fit here

She looks and sounds great.

“I believe many of you know my age but I’m full of life because as you know, a Scorpion never dies.”🦂 Meiko Kaji ending her NYC trip by making us all emotional 🥲 What a beautiful experience, thank you @japansociety.org for making this happen

The Meiko Kaji victory lap and the Neurosis reformation are the two most wonderful things about this year

Came home from a little weekend trip to some really cool stuff in the mail

This is a really lovely interview about all kinds of interesting things.

ONE OF THE YEAR'S BEST FILMS YOU HEARD IT HERE FIRST! See it this weekend and all April! 🎟️🎟️https://linktr.ee/cinemafirmament

Caroline Golum’s Revelations of Divine Love is one of the year’s best films and one of the best depictions of faith I’ve ever seen on film. Here’s me talking to her at Anthology Film Archive about the film, wherein she schools me on art history inreviewonline.com/2026/03/26/f...

Radu Jude's Kontinental '25 is out this weekend, and it's one of the year's best. Here's me talking with Jude back when his equally great Dracula hit theaters, wherein we touch a bit on the new one, particularly on both being Cinema of Disappearance. thefilmstage.com/cinema-can-b...

Ahead of her lovely new film, The Serpent’s Skin, releasing this weekend, I caught up with my bud Alice to talk about the fallacy of each new film being her “most personal yet,” sensuality in cinema and the timelessness of Buffy. Read it here: inreviewonline.com/2026/03/25/i...

Feels insane to say, but I had the immense pleasure of talking to the legendary Yuen Woo-ping about his excellent new film, Blades of the Guardians, Jet Li, and what goes into great fight choreo. Career highlight. joysauce.com/80-year-old-...

As his new film, Yes!, opens this week, I sat down with Nadav Lapid to talk about the failings of Israeli artists, the rot at the center of Tel Aviv and the necessity of painting the perpetrators of a genocide exactly as they are. It’s a heavy one. inreviewonline.com/2026/03/24/w...

In the latest episode of the #DecadeProject, I talk with my friend and movie reclamation oracle @brndnstrssng.bsky.social  about one of Michael Bay's 13 HOURS: THE SECRET SOLDIERS OF BENGHAZI: 

Listening to the @brndnstrssng.bsky.social commentary on the 2004 WALKING TALL, and this is terrific stuff. Smart, thorough, personable. It’s a movie I really enjoy, a modestly-scaled bruiser, and Streussnig is a connoisseur of the form.

Was at a dinner last night that included Tim Squyres, editor of Crouching Tiger, Lust, Caution, Hulk etc. When he was leaving, I told him I thought Hulk was probably the best comic movie ever made, he pointed to his (green) jacket sleeve and revealed it was a Hulk crew jacket

Seeing quote tweets saying this didn't get distribution in the US, but it actually did! CMC Pictures put it out theatrically 2025. Just because most people don't really notice or pay attention to smaller Chinese releases doesn't mean it didn't get released. Not everyone has GKIDS or A24 marketing.

In honor of Autumn Durald Arkpaw making history, here’s Gia Coppola telling me about how she and Autumn referenced a shot from Transformers II in The Last Showgirl. Congrats to a real one

I seem to be on a bit of an island with this one now that many of my buds have seen it but I had some fun with Undertone! Here’s me talking to its director, Ian Tuason: inreviewonline.com/2026/03/13/w...

My shelf of blus I’ve worked on is getting bigger and bigger. Another commentary in the can, some essays on a few yet-to-be-announced discs, good stuff. As always, would love to write for YOU

Had such a blast joining the rest of the Ringer crew to contribute to this massive piece wherein we imagined who the nominees and winners would be had the Casting Oscar started in 2000 Click through to read me on Mad Max: Fury Road and Licorice Pizza: www.theringer.com/2026/03/05/o...

making moves this year, two of the cooler releases I’ve ever done

So stoked up receive my contributor copy of Martin Campbell’s perennially underrated No Escape. Beautiful work as always from Umbrella. Can’t thank @oneblakeminute.bsky.social enough for commissioning me for this.

Ahead of the Oscars, I spoke with director Emilie Blichfeldt and makeup designers Thomas Foldberg and Anne Catherine Saurberg about their excellent film, The Ugly Stepsister, and what that nomination means for a film like this. Read it here: www.fangoria.com/the-ugly-ste...

Funny to see so much consternation about who might win Best Actor this year when I think, top to bottom, it's the best lineup we've had in many years. Not a bad performance in the bunch, in fact, all five are pretty terrific. Wouldn't be mad at any of em. It's Wagner Moura tho

Go watch this film if you haven't. Like prime Cronenberg.
