SINNERS not winning a single Oscar (likely) is my actual nightmare.

Happy #Pluribus Friday you filthy donut lickers. open.spotify.com/episode/351Q...

It’s the pod we were born to record! Mallory Rubin and I break down tv and film’s top musical moments of the century so far. WE CRIED. open.spotify.com/episode/2zPt...

We deserve this. youtu.be/1wKMKUjyphY?...

It’s just me weeping at HAUNTING OF HILL HOUSE o’clock again.

We’ve set ourselves the impossible task of putting together the ten best musical moments from genre film and television from the last quarter century. (Diegetic not needle drop.) AND I AM MELTING DOWN. What am I missing????

Last night I went to a documentary about the 1975 NY financial crisis (DROP DEAD CITY…very good) and it featured footage of a young Cheney and Rumsfeld in the White House advising Ford and we all hissed and gasped and booed. So, if our collective rancor helped, you’re welcome.

Sometimes I just think about Bunzo on that train.

Congratulations, Andrew Cuomo! I know how hard you worked for this.

GAME NIGHT IS ON NETFLIX IF YOU HAVEN’T YOU SHOULD.

Deeply stale take prompted by finding the ideal treadmill show: ALICE IN BORDERLAND >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>SQUID GAME. It’s comically better.

Them.

This. Book. SLAPS. bsky.app/profile/alix...

Ni yo tampoco.

Part one of our two-part breakdown of BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER S2 is heeeeeere. The intro of Spike *and* Angelus in one pod!??! Outstanding. open.spotify.com/episode/5Eq4...

An absolute DELIGHT to have the great @sepinwall.bsky.social on the pod to do some SLOW HORSES catch up and dig into the Apple TV re-branding. www.youtube.com/watch?v=CaGt...

Still hoping to get a new regular TV podcast off the ground in the not-too-distant future, but in the meantime, @jowrotethis.bsky.social was kind enough to have me on the Prestige TV Podcast to talk Slow Horses. Watch us, or listen wherever you get your podcasts:

SLOW HORSES POD…tomorrow.

Rose from the dead to talk through the beautiful season finale of Task with Bill and @jowrotethis.bsky.social. And also to maybe get some Dairy Queen. spotify.link/9ucWuPIQCXb

Nnnnnn-no. They’re not. bsky.app/profile/nyti...

"In CHUNGKING EXPRESS, everything is important—every can of pineapple, every dripping towel, every loop of 'California Dreamin’; small items holding an entire story, the heartbreak and the hope and the waiting."

Good to see you out today.

SORRY BABY and TWINLESS and JANE AUSTEN WRECKED MY LIFE are three of my favorite moviegoing experiences this year. Just. A good year for a small, quiet flick. BALLAD OF WALLIS ISLAND lovely though a tiny step down. Still…I never say no to Carey Mulligan singing.

The bad news is Rob is still sick so no SLOW HORSES podcast again this week. The good news is Rob got v. sick (is getting better) and watched all of LOST. This is me texting him incessantly about it. (He’ll be fine.)

IS THAT THE BEESBURY MUSIC I HEAR!?! Mal and I will spend oh just a few minutes or hours or so tomorrow breaking down the #AKnightOfTheSevenKingdoms trailer. Buzz buzz, baby. The Bees are back. 🐝

Coming next week!! bsky.app/profile/bob2...

This is ghoul behavior. Especially given Robin’s personal wishes about his likeness and his voice not being used. Where the hell are the regulators? bsky.app/profile/jeff...

Hey pals! No Slow Horses Prestige pod this week. Our guy Rob is under the weather. We’ll double dip next week. Task ep (with showrunner Brad Inglesby!!) will drop as usual.

First “Mean Girls Day” came for my birthday and I said nothing. Then Taylor Swift came for my bir— You know what who cares? Enjoy yourselves, Swifties. Wear pink, Meanies(????). And Happy Libra Season to my fellow October babes.

HAMNET: Sharing a movie with a room full of strangers is my favorite drug no matter what. Sharing a movie with a room full of strangers having a mental breakdown? Straight in my veins. My beloved Jessie Buckley getting a standing ovation at #MVFF opening night.

In which Mallory and I check back in on Hawkins (feat. a rare appearance of the baseball tee). #StrangerThings 🎧: open.spotify.com/episode/7trm...

I wonder how many Republican menopausal women are on HRT and if they realize that’s gender affirming care.

In which I’ve (finally) watched (some of) THE SOPRANOS and talk about its best (??) episode with two of my favorites @vanlathan.bsky.social and @robmahoney.bsky.social 🎧: open.spotify.com/episode/0PFl...

My microgreens guy at the farmer’s market asked me to come see his band play and I feel like I leveled up in my pseudo-hippie-dom. Soft crunch levels achieved.

Be cool. It’s happening.

It’s TASK time babyyyy. open.spotify.com/episode/1zRi...

Jesus Christ, how are you so unbelievably bad at this? A deeply unpopular president is recklessly destroying our government, wrecking our democracy, covering up pedophilia and now threatening to use military force against our own citizens but you're tsk-tsking about protecting healthcare?

Oh hi hello it’s only the most important podcasting moment of my life. open.spotify.com/episode/4diX...

ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER. Usually I have a slight allergy to film bro favorites but I really really loved this movie.

Performative quitting is obnoxious but customer feedback is important so hello @rollingstone.com I only subscribed to read @sepinwall.bsky.social and now I can’t. So. XO.

Just conducted the interview of my LIFE. Coming to a pod near you next week. I may never recover. Mallory and I are contemplating retiring.

It’s destabilizing to realize how fragile it always was.

Minor/positive health update. 💪 🐈‍⬛ www.instagram.com/reel/DOuYVQq...

Just @Chiri456 really outdoing himself on the podcast art today. 🎧: open.spotify.com/episode/49M6...

SNEAKERS. A movie I’ve seen maybe more than any other. Anchored by a perfect PERFECT movie star performance. You’ve no shortage of good options when it comes to honoring Redford’s legacy. Maybe even “better” options. But this is my favorite.

More tomorrow, but now might be a very good time to consider subscribing to What’s Alan Watching? alansepinwall.ghost.io

It just makes me nervous for what comes next. What it justifies.

Ever shared your favorite show with your favorite person? For work? I did. Ask me how. It’s BUFFY SEASON 1 time on House of R! open.spotify.com/episode/799O...

This. Is not. What I want. For Domhnall Gleeson.
