I reviewed ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER, movie of the year, easily www.spokesman.com/stories/2025...

Without further ado, here is the trailer for Jeffrey Epstein: Bad Pedophile. Against all odds, it will air in select theatres on October 2nd, along with the theatrical debut of Sex House. Tickets go on sale tomorrow. And, yes, this is real.

I joined @jasondashbailey.com and Mike on GUIDE FOR THE FILM FANATIC to unpack CHRISTIANE F. (traumatizing movie that I love!). Listen in wherever you get your pods.

NEW EPISODE of GUIDE FOR THE FILM FANATIC! The wise and witty @katiewalshstx.bsky.social is with us to discuss the recently-restored-and-released German youth gone to seed classic CHRISTIANE F. Listen up! pod.link/1274489817/e...

Doing some Oscar punditry for @theankler.com so if you want to watch me fiddle with my predix in real time👇 anklerpundits.com/pundit/katie...

My YouTube algorithm is almost entirely Paul Mescal press appearances. I’ve clearly put in the work and SO SHOULD YOU.

HIM is very “great gowns beautiful gowns” (IYKYK) — great style but the substance is a mess. My review: www.detroitnews.com/story/entert...

I reviewed A BIG BOLD BEAUTIFUL JOURNEY - a big swing and unfortunately a miss: www.idahostatesman.com/entertainmen...

Milla Bell-Hart and @katiewalshstx.bsky.social have become @screendrafts.bsky.social All-Stars having hosted 5 times each! Despite joining in the same episode, College Girls, the paths they took to reach this milestone were quite different... 1/

Someone asked me earlier why I don’t do more than AI, and the answer is that every time I look deeper into AI I see more evidence that this is a massive, unbelievable failure, propped up by webs of debt and ignorance, private capital fully believes there’s massive AI demand that does not exist.

We strongly condemn the actions taken by Nexstar and Disney-ABC to pull JIMMY KIMMEL LIVE! off the air.

Got a new water bottle and I’m drinking unprecedented amounts of water.

God, I wish Matt and Bowen were hosting this.

I love Dan Gilroy’s awkward ass (remember “it’s melancholy, Dan”?)

THE DROP DOWN!!!! 😭😭😭

"I just want to say, go birds, fuck ICE and free Palestine," "Hacks" star Hannah Einbinder at the #Emmys

Every time I go to a baby shower, I should receive the Congressional Medal of Honor.

It will never not be amazing to me that journalists and other people in positions of public influence willingly stay on a site that is being openly manipulated on every level by one of the worst human beings on Earth.

Mind games!!

Do you like wigglin'? If so, you should check out Milla's bumper stickers! www.etsy.com/shop/BumpinT...

In preparation for my new novel A VIOLENT MASTERPIECE dropping this April, I'm starting this thread to catalog my work:

This episode is so great. @katiewalshstx.bsky.social a legend on any pod, and with every appearance Milla continues to cement herself as one of the best GMs on the show

I know we’re all having a bad week/year/generation, but the way this eclipse week has utterly THROTTLED me. It’s breathtaking, honestly.

A local cafe/sandwich spot posted something WILD about yesterday’s events on IG stories and I have no one to discuss it with. NO ONE ON REDDIT OR BLUESKY POSTING ABOUT IT.

Part of what keeps America so violent is the insistence that people perform care, empty goodness and absolution for white men who espouse hatred and violence.

THE BALTIMORONS opens this Friday at the Music Box! Featuring an Opening Night Q&A with director Jay Duplass and star Michael Strassner! Get Tickets Now: musicboxtheatre.com/films-and-ev...

very fun draft with my good pal Milla tha Killa

Enrollment is now open! COLLEGE GIRLS Drafted by Screen Drafts All-Stars @katiewalshstx.bsky.social & Milla Bell-Hart Listen everywhere! podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/s...

Not an official review, but I saw THE BALTIMORONS @vidiots.bsky.social last night, and this movie is so special. Opens NY today and LA+ more markets next week. See it!

As a certified stan of the CCU (Conjuring Cinematic Universe), THE CONJURING: LAST RITES was such a SNOOZE. There is no juice left to squeeze from the Warren story. In @latimes.com www.latimes.com/entertainmen...

I reviewed Bing Liu’s first narrative feature PREPARATION FOR THE NEXT LIFE, a unique but universal and sweetly affecting love story. In @latimes.com: www.latimes.com/entertainmen...

Announcing our next @lafilmcritics.bsky.social event: LOS ANGELES PLAYS ITSELF with director Thom Andersen in person for Q&A moderated by LAFCA members Ryan Swen & Jordan Cronk. Join us for this critically-acclaimed whirlwind tour of Los Angeles' real and cinematic history. Tickets on sale now!

I reviewed THE ROSES, in which Colman and Cumberbatch capably spar with Tony McNamara’s acid dialogue, but there was something about its flip sarcasticness that made the whole thing feel a bit disposable. azdailysun.com/entertainmen...

Sharing my CAUGHT STEALING review here (pretty fun, hyper-violent, Butler/Kravitz hot, a few wack story choices) and using the opportunity to once again stump for Austin Butler’s casting as Chris Shiherlis in HEAT 2 www.wyomingnews.com/features/mov...

We are recording the COLLEGE GIRLS Draft with @katiewalshstx.bsky.social & Milla Bell-Hart NEXT WEEK! Which films centered on women attending college / university / grad school / law school, etc, NEED to the make the list?!

Amy Carlson laughing from beyond the veil… she got us good, y'all

So many adults have to fail a child before he ends up 10 years old telling CNN about the mass shooting he lived through this morning

72 PERCENT?!??!

So there was a reason I was soliciting entries for this list—I was a guest on the Dear Movies, I Love You podcast talking about this highly specific sub-genre! Fun convo with Casey O’Brien and Millie de Chirico! Give it a listen: open.spotify.com/episode/56wf...

I am genuinely touched whenever a smart person like @britthates.bsky.social says they read me! Thank you Britt!

The best decision I made in the last year was opting out of discourse. Whatever discourse I need to know will find me 😇

I adored SPLITSVILLE—not surprising as I similarly loved Covino and Marvin’s 2020 movie THE CLIMB—and this cements them as the heirs apparent to Mazursky’s brand of sex and marriage dramedy. My review: www.star-telegram.com/entertainmen...

I reviewed HONEY, DON’T!, the second installment in the Coen/Cooke lesbian B-movie trilogy. Now, I’d watch Margaret Qualley as Honey O’Donahue solve any mystery, Columbo-style, but this one is a real mess. www.unionleader.com/wire/movie-r...

So was the bag of chips half-eaten? This is all I want to know.

things were better when the computer lived in its own specific room and you only went in there sometimes

I’m on This Had Oscar Buzz this week talking PUNCH-DRUNK LOVE, sexy Sandman, Healthy Choice, PTA and many more digressions and insights. Love yapping with @chrisvfeil.bsky.social and @joereid.bsky.social! podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/3...

Filmmaker David Mackenzie joined us at the Aero last Thursday for a sold out advance screening of RELAY followed by his Academy Award-nominated HELL OR HIGH WATER (2016) 👏 You can officially see RELAY (2024) in theaters this Friday! Thank you to @katiewalshstx.bsky.social for moderating.

Very, very sad to hear this, for numerous reasons, but mostly because Michael Phillips is a terrific critic, an icon of the profession, and has always been exceedingly warm and welcoming. Michael, you will be missed, and I hope wonderful things are on the horizon.
