If you're not currently subscribed to my podcast on the films of Demi Moore, you should really consider it! Just posted the new episode on "The Scarlet Letter" with guest @franhoepfner.bsky.social! What in the world is Robert Duvall DOING in this thing?? www.patreon.com/c/demipod

these two need to knock it off

chatted with Alison Brie ahead of the Sundance premiere of her new movie TOGETHER starring her irl roommate Dave Franco www.vulture.com/article/alis...

Can’t even remotely process a BWDR that exists without @franhoepfner.bsky.social’s essays in it, and don’t want to 😭 But truly, editing her words the past 12 years (!!) has been an absolute joy. She is simply the BEST (human, friend, writer)—there are many imitators, but only one Fran 🖤

New today on the site: “On paper, RED ROOMS is the ideal horror movie for a person like me, which is to say, a coward. It would be a misnomer to say that Pascal Plante’s film has no violence in it though: it is violence, a bloodless film that is rich with blood.” - @franhoepfner.bsky.social

my last (!!?? for now) essay for @bwdr.bsky.social is about RED ROOMS and learning to look at that which is awful www.brightwalldarkroom.com/2025/01/24/r...
