If you're having trouble sorting out the continuity of James Bond, that suggests to me that you do not understand the enduring appeal of James Bond. Continuity is not that franchise's strong suit. It's been soft rebooted repeatedly, and everyone understands. Dumb People Problems.

Kim ventures back to Contemporary Corner for a late night discussion of The Running Man and this Glen Powell fangirl wasn't fully bought into this dystopian reboot.

Today on Patreon: Grab your glitter paint and cue K$sha's "Blow" because we are discussing Tina Romero's debut feature, #QueensoftheDead (2025). This gay bar vs zombies film has a great queer cast and a few fun performances, but unfortunately that's where it stops working for us.

Charlie Cox in an apparent holiday rom-com? I’m listening… So help me, I’d something happens to the dog, I’m going to be livid.

We’re uncomfortably late in the year and I’m playing catch-up! What are your 2025 releases that you want to make sure you watch before year end?

In this week's newest episode of Piercing Pop Culture, I'm restarting The Virginian Vault with a look at season three, episode 17: Two Men Named Laredo. Fabian guest stars this week.

Joseph H. Lewis’ essential noir GUN CRAZY (1950) is on MOVIES! TV Network tonight at 10:30pm ET (and 3 other times this month). Don’t sleep on MOVIES. It’s got lots of noir and it's available free, over the air in 85% of the US (and also on live TV streamers like Frndly TV). #FilmSky #Noirvember

I wrote about my experience with Frankenstein tonight. Kids, I learned one thing. I haven’t been giving Jacob Elordi enough credit apparently. I haven’t read Shelley in far, far, far too long, but I enjoyed myself immensely with this one.

Friends, as of tomorrow, GGA is no more. This site has given me a home and amazing opportunities for my whole writing life. Please follow this amazing team as they move on to new places. This is a great group. As for me? For now, all my contemporary reviews will be on Piercing Pop Culture.

Today over on Piercing Pop Culture I talk a bit about Mike Henry and his time as Tarzan. I’ve currently seen 2 of the 3 and am questing to find his final one. These are are quirky in a way that only Tarzan in the 60s could be. I even find a way to mention Skyjacked! Because… of course I did.

Diane Ladd (age 22) in a 1957 episode of the syndicated cop series DECOY. Her first major TV role is on Tubi, and it's very much worth watching. An unforgettable 65-year career started here: tubitv.com/tv-shows/477... #FilmSky #DianeLadd

New Letterboxd favorites for #Noirvember. What are your film noir essentials?

MANILA — An important piece of Filipino history missing for almost 90 years and thought to be lost forever was just found in Belgium. “Diwata ng Karagatan” is now the oldest surviving Filipino film! 🎞️🎞️ www.abs-cbn.com/entertainmen...

Re-upping for the night time crowd. I talked a bit about Frogs (1972) on a mini episode of Piercing Pop Culture. Animals causing trouble in the 1970s is one of my favorite sub-genres. What are you essential watches in this wide swath of delightfully colorful films?

RIP, Diane Ladd.

A movie you've seen more than 7 times in a GIF:

Watching Smoke Signal (1955). This cast is *chef’s kiss*

Jan Murray is one of my favorite performers to stumble onto.

My timeline is out there reminding me that it’s been far too long since I watched Who Killed Teddy Bear.

Complete with Gavin MacLeod doing his best Charles Nelson Reilly impression.

Death Squad starts what looks to be a journey into the deep cuts in Mark Goddard’s filmography.

When I stumble on a cast list like this, I have no choice but to click on it. Tubi is always there to deliver the craziness.

I sat down to watch Frogs (1972) this week and to make a bad pun, my opinion was hopping all over the place. I had pre-conceived notions and I was hoping, I think, for more than I got. Though, a pre-mustache Sam Elliott was certainly mind-blowing. I figured he had to be born with it.

Invaders from Mars is one of the movies I'm going to have to proclaim a 'Pleasant Surprise" of 2025. I knew nothing going in and was smitten. I now need to get my act together and watch the 1986 remake.

I'm a sucker for 1950s and 1960s ventriloquists. I admit it. It fascinates me. I finally took the time to sit down and write about one of the figures who opened my eyes. Paul Winchell. This was a fun post to write. Hopefully more to come.

ICON. 💔

RIP Prunella Scales 🫶

I feel your pain. Once we know The Gallery of Madame Liu-Tsong existed, we can never not ache to see it.

PPC Commentary: How Much Television Have We Lost? Over the last few days friends, I’ve been down a deep, dark and honestly, fairly mysterious rabbit hole. I suppose, I should also add, it’s a bit of a depressing one too. You’ve been warned. The current state of the world leaves plenty of room for…

Our last plug for BLOODSTONE: SUBSPECIES II with guest @kpierce624.bsky.social. Even if you’ve NOT seen these films, maybe you’ll be inspired to give them a go! podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/v...

Listen to a clip from our episode on BLOODSTONE: SUBSPECIES II with @kpierce624.bsky.social … and click to hear the full episode here: podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/v...

Hal Holbrook on Tattletales. There’s something I’d never thought I’d see.

I jumped into Lost in Space last week and have been basking in the weirdness of season three. Lassie was peak “stay home from school viewing”. She is one of those figures who signifies television of this time. Heck, Meet Me in St. Louis!! Everyone who knows her works probably has their June Lockhart

From the Archive: Snowbeast (1977) With a cast including Bo Svenson, Yvette Mimieux, Clint Walker and Sylvia Sidney, Snowbeast screams 1970s, made-for-tv, disaster movie delight. Venture back into the archive to when Kim to a look at it this year.

For the nighttime crowd. This was a delight and a joy to record. I knew nothing about these going in… and I’ve missed so much.

As someone who grew up on The Naked Gun this hit me hard. Olson’s is a story I didn’t know, but I adore these stories. Morris Ankrum is another. There’s something special with the latecomers. To have that many lives, goals and aspirations.

I was so proud of my Halloween movie favorites on Letterboxd. I now remember the unforgivable omission I made. Arsenic and Old Lace. You never forget Arsenic and Old Lace.

Everyone do yourself a favor & watch Jacobi's Frasier episode "The Show Must Go Off" 😁

Did I watch The Hard Ride purely for Robert Fuller? Yes. Did I vibe far harder than I expected with this easy breezy little film? Also yes.

As I cusp the middle of season three, The Virginian needs to figure out that life would be a heck of a lot simpler if he stopped falling for every girl with lots and lots of emotional baggage.

For the night crowd. I started writing about WKRP years ago and for some reason never did anything with it. This is a show that should at least be talked about. So I’m remedying that AND clearing my drafts in one swoop.

I’ve been deep into my website and for the first time in a long, long… long time, it finally feels like me. And everything that implies. Pardon the dust as things keep taking shape, but it’s nice to be having fun again. piercingcinema.com

We reached mid-season on a high with our fun chat with critic @kpierce624.bsky.social about BLOODSTONE: SUBSPECIES II 🩸 Listen now! podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/v...

Stop scrolling and post two characters that bring you happiness.

Revisiting a “teenage Kim” favorite for the first time in probably 15+ years. Tubi bringing out some of my deep cuts.

I was brand new to the Subspecies film and kids… I’m obsessed. Please have a listen to this truly delightful discussion.

This has been sitting in my archives far too long. I wax nostalgic about my feelings for the first season of WKRP in Cincinnati.
