You don't have to like a movie to celebrate its success. Here's why I'm thrilled BACKROOMS is making bank, even though I was disappointed in the film. Get the CRITICALLY ACCLAIMED newsletter every week with a free subscription! Paid subscribers can access to hundreds of bonus, exclusive podcasts!

The Mandalorian and Grogu is just a fun romp. No substance at all, but I had a good time.

Star Wars Outlaws on Switch 2 is kinda fun

This past Friday and Saturday, I played a set of six back-to-back sessions of Oath with a pool of 5 players. I lost every game, and I cannot wait to do it again someday.

Jacob Misiorowski with 102, 103, 103, 103, 103, 103, 103, 104, 103, 104 in the first inning against the Yankees 💀

Man I'm way more excited for this Wheel of Time board game (that there aren't even any real details for) than I would have expected to be. Pumped that I'm going to GenCon and will hopefully be able to partake in the demo

Film you've watched more than six times

I just saw Speed Racer in IMAX for the first time and it was no joke one of the best movie experiences I have ever had. I already loved the movie, but seeing it on the big screen was just incredible.

18 years after Nintendo gave everyone free Miis, Sony wants credit for doing the same thing but for only a handful of people, for a very limited time, and without any of the charm.

WE'RE GETTING A SPEED RACER 4K DISC!!!!

@flophousepodcast.com Look, I hate to break it to you guys, but when Stu joked about a character in the Cars franchise having a tramp stamp, that is actually a bit in the first Cars film. youtu.be/MrxdJggjypo?...

Project Hail Mary is pitch perfect sci-fi cinema

I love seeing Ryan Coogler getting so psyched in the background for every winner. Dude just loves movies and the people who make them.

First woman to win best cinematography, well deserved

I hate that Disney gets to subtly (or not so subtly) promote all their upcoming movies by making the awards presenters talk about the movie they're in before presenting the award

Evil Dead Burn is just around the corner, so I may need to rewatch every Evil Dead movie and the show

@williambibbiani.bsky.social is one of my favorite critics and I absolutely love how well he articulates what a critic's job really is. Give this a read, I believe you can even at the zero dollar tier. www.patreon.com/posts/151366...

I hope nintendo keeps doing this. $5 graphical upgrades for games I already have are much more appealing to me than $20-30 DLC-ish upgrades.

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again. #Pinks #ProudBlue

This speech by Brandon Sanderson is incredibly well spoken youtu.be/mb3uK-_QkOo?...

Thanks Splatoon

I caught both of these on first viewing 💪

These fraught times call for a show with what is either an intentionally or unintentionally hilarious title, and which I will be talking about for the rest of the year

I might get to see Send Help tonight, a week early!

@screendrafts.bsky.social Have you folks done a Sam Raimi draft? I need it!

In the future it will be hotly debated whether or not I was very good or very bad at book promotion

I was just able to list all of Sam Raimi's movies in theatrical release order by memory while one of my friends double checked me on Wikipedia and I've never been prouder

Great way to start and end the year

This is true and I was the only one on set excited about it (and playing the song on my phone to blank stares)

My sister-in-law crocheted Kirby for me!

Never seen this but I bought it because 4K Criterion under $25 is great

According to Z, Mufasa and Serapi, the adult lions, are in a married thruple with transwoman tiger Umba while they raise two lion cubs and a tiger cub

My wife came through with a great Christmas Present. Love the work of @aduralde.bsky.social, can't wait to dive in!

Cortado kinda day

I had an okay time, but I wish I liked Avatar 3 more.

Tubi is such a crazy streaming service. It’s like if the Criterion Closet was in a gas station

The Octopath Traveller games have the most satisfying battle system in turn-based rpgs that I've played. A lot of games don't click for me the way Octopath does

Our gorgeous #WakeUpDeadMan end credit portraits, painted from life by Isabella Watling. We’re still in theaters, see my pinned post for a theater finder!

Red Lobster never released a commercial with a jingle that went “Shrimply having a wonderful Fishmastime.” That’s why they went bankrupt.

Better Off Dead is a better movie than Ferris Bueller's Day Off

No way, this doesn't sound like me at all 🙃

I'm at the combination

Sea Salt & Paper : peut on rêver meilleur endroit pour une partie ! @theosacha.bsky.social @bombyx.bsky.social

Wake Up Dead Man rules. Now give Rian Johnson his Star Wars trilogy back.
