When the Connections talk show looks to add more goofball energy, they turn to me! I was honored to again get the host mic for two hours Monday with smart, funny, and just plain awesome guests. 🔥 HORROR IS HOT: www.youtube.com/watch?v=MPfn... ☀️ SUMMER MOVIE PREVIEW: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gd2h...

I've been recording radio spots for @thelittletheatre.bsky.social for nearly 10 years, and just now — for the first time — started one off with: [movie trailer guy voice] 𝐈𝐧 𝐚 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐥𝐝... What a career highlight!

Big agree

I keep thinking of all the very funny bits in this — some are big comedic set pieces, others are simply throwaway lines that just *work*. FRIENDSHIP meshed with my sense of humor extremely well. A frontrunner for my fictional Best Comedy Oscar!

FINALLY getting to reverse dance to promote movies

The Little and Dryden marketing teams will stop at NOTHING to promote A Lyttle Lynch: a collaborative David Lynch tribute film series 🥧🌽 Series info on both The Little and @drydentheatre.bsky.social websites. Creamed corn not included.

Fun fact: I met the terrifying DONNIE DARKO bunny before they were in the movie (and for some reason I was absolutely cool with it?!)

I loved it—thank you @edashtonwriting.bsky.social !!!

Bong Joon Ho's long awaited follow-up to his Oscar-winning PARASITE has arrived, and it has a Rochester connection! MICKEY 17, based on the novel by Webster's Edward Ashton, opens Thursday, 3/6 at The Little. The D&C has your deep-dive into the film: www.democratandchronicle.com/story/lifest...

If you want to watch the Oscars and also have the absolute ✨silliest✨ time, check out The Little's Oscar Movie Trivia Party Mar. 2. We previewed the party, plus MICKEY 17 (opening Mar. 6), based on @edashtonwriting.bsky.social's novel, on Good Day Rochester: foxrochester.com/news/good-mo...

The Oscars are neat because they highlight movies (good or bad — it's all subjective!) that otherwise would not get a spotlight (e.g. THE SUBSTANCE 💉). Here's a 2025 Oscars preview/film rec hour w/ @rachelharrison.bsky.social, @adamlubitow.bsky.social, and Matt P.: www.youtube.com/watch?v=hyoG...

I guest hosted Connections on @wxxirochester.bsky.social today. The topic? ROMANCE. We dive into what makes the ultimate Valentine's Day watch + @hottoiletwater.bsky.social introduces the Tusk Test™️ Listen: www.wxxinews.org/show/connect... Watch: www.youtube.com/watch?v=v2zx...

Back with another Little podcast episode! Lots of movie recs in this one + why MISERY is a top-tier Valentine's Day watch 💙

If a movie is over 3 hours long you should be allowed to bring a pillow and a blanket and your cat with you to the theater.

Realized today my dream is start a band, and call it Electric Grandma

Within the Art Deco walls of The Little there are STORIES. Tales of romance, family, friendship, and, of course, popcorn. To celebrate our 95th anniversary, we want to hear your Little story! 🍿 Submit yours here: www.surveymonkey.com/r/Q6DB9MM

I’m sad today about the Bills, but happy with the knowledge that Future Scott will get to watch Buffalo win a Super Bowl. Bonus: Catsby is getting ALL the treats tonight for tolerating me on game days (she’s the true GOAT)

The one where I say there should be an Oscar for FUN movies, and this year it should go to "It's What's Inside"

Forever swooning for our ✨magical pathway✨

As someone who THRIVED at the game “don’t let the balloon touch the ground” as a kid, this is really speaking to me.

The HAVE YOURSELF A MERRY LITTLE series is back! 🎄 Dec 11: Jingle Jangle: A Christmas Journey (part of the Black Cinema Series) 🎄 Dec 12: Fleischer Holiday Cartoons 🎄 Dec 13: While You Were Sleeping (35mm film; part of the So Fetch! series) 🎄 Dec 15: The Nightmare Before Christmas (35mm)

IT’S HAPPENING 🥧 thelittle.org/die-hard-pie...

I was introduced to cinemacats.com today, and as a connoisseur of iconic on-screen kitties, this is a gamechanger. Pro tip: The 'cat actors' tab is especially euphoric.

Movies. We have ‘em 🍿 Weekend lineup: ✈️ A REAL PAIN 💍 ANORA (on 35mm now through 11/20) ⛪️ CONCLAVE 💥 BLITZ 🐌 MEMOIR OF A SNAIL 🇵🇸 Witness Palestine: NO OTHER LAND 🇵🇱 Polish Film Festival 🍿 Showtimes at thelittle.org Pictured: complimentary ANORA film strips + an accidental selfie from the admin

One of the perks of taking a weekday off is going to see a morning movie. The ideal way to start a day, imo. I watched the suspenseful and sinister romp, HERETIC. I enjoyed it but was baffled that a R-rated movie decided to use the censored version of Radiohead’s “Creep.” Why?! You can swear!

Today’s (11/11) lineup in the Little Theatre District™️: 💍 ANORA 💥 BLITZ ⛪️ CONCLAVE 🐌 MEMOIR OF A SNAIL 🎶🎨🍷 Live music, art, food & drinks in the cafe!
