HBO gets me every single time they air this.

New followers, new intro! I'm a freelance entertainment journalist & EIC of TheFilmMaven.com. I host/produce the podcast @ticklishbiz.bsky.social & author of BUT HAVE YOU READ THE BOOK, POPCORN DISABILITIES, & (coming soon) WELCOME, BOILS & GHOULS: THE COMPLETE ORAL HISTORY OF TALES FROM THE CRYPT!

If you are able to help support our site migration that would be amazing! I am very bad at asking for help but right now, @butwhytho.net needs it. We have to get set up on a new host, work with a dev, and our old host still has not refunded us the $3k they took. Anything helps!

That crowd standing there recording Madonna and Sabrina Carpenter is so depressing. “Like a Prayer” is a song built for dancing and no one is moving.

I love the original and there’s no way to top the current iteration of “Toxic Love” so let’s not.

My @letterboxd.social 4 for Friday is a lot.

I enjoyed the first book of this series immensely. I recommend picking up the sequel.

The first book is SO GOOD & a necessary addition to any library of film books.

In honor of #BookCon this weekend now is a great time preorder the second installment in my BUT HAVE YOU READ THE BOOK series focused on romance adaptations! From THE SHEIK to THE NOTEBOOK, I look at 40 different book/movies that make us think about love.

Goddamn, it's been a GREAT couple of years for seeing very rare titles FINALLY show up on disc, but I'm curious about what you're still dying to see upgraded. Here's my personal shortlist - and yes before you ask, I HAVE tried to figure out what's up with WHITE PALACE, go demand it from Universal!!

I haven't read the book but I need someone to tell me: does the dog make it to the end? Otherwise I'm definitely not gonna be able to take my mom. www.youtube.com/watch?v=cmzV...

My first Welcome, Boils and Ghouls shout-out!!!

With the TCM Classic Film Fest starting up in 2 weeks figured I'd share this on-going list of movies the fest has given me the opportunity to watch on a big screen! boxd.it/mosK4

What did @reeljeffewing.bsky.social think of LEE CRONIN'S THE MUMMY? You can read his review over at The Film Maven now! thefilmmaven.com/lee-cronin-t...

Interested….

And then he shot Marvin in the face. Or something to that effect.

New @ticklishbiz.bsky.social and this week I'm talking to Sean Hepburn Ferrer -- yes, son of Audrey -- about the new book INTIMATE AUDREY. This was so cool to do. Watch or listen at the link below: thefilmmaven.com/audrey-hepbu...

You can bet I'll be buying HUD when it drops in July.

Definitely depressing to read this as someone who loves going long on a topic but just doesn’t have the time to write AND do video production. theankler.com/p/the-next-j...

Better be getting some proper time devoted to my Lupe Velez. au.variety.com/2026/film/ne...

Follow Emily! She’s awesome, funny, and a helluva writer.

I didn’t love MOTHER MARY as much as I’d hoped but I did get wrapped up in its vibes. Full review over at @fangoria.bsky.social! www.fangoria.com/mother-mary-...

I don’t tend to make a lot of plans because wheelchair: but I’m 100% committed to doing CinemaCon next year.

Last share of the night. There’s only 2 more articles left in this inagural series so if you’re interested in me doing more consider becoming a paid (or free) subscriber.

Some great Palm Springs physical media finds.

Remember how Sean Young dressed up as Catwoman and everyone collectively decided she was nuts? This month's Women They Warned You About looks at that moment, our inability to deal with feminine anger in Hollywood, and how shitty David Letterman was. thefilmmaven.com/sean-young-b...

Strap in LA. Driving into Palm Springs and the entire city looks to be heading back home from Coachella. Blocked for miles.

Can we somehow get JD Vance involved in the Paramount-WB merger

Haven't been able to find POPCORN DISABILITIES at a bookstore here in LA but did discover you can borrow it through the LA Public Library!

Period reminder: writers need to eat, pay rent & see the doctor like everyone else. If you appreciate a writer but don‘t have $15 or $30 to buy their/our book, a FREE way you can put money in our pockets is to just request that the libraries you use buy our books!

First person to blend “Manchild” with Xanadu’s “I’m Alive” off this Coachella set….

Where are my Grace Kelly experts (authors, people who have written on her)? Seeking sources for an article specifically on her wedding.

This month's Women They Warned You about subject was perceived as mad, not necessarily bad, but those two things apparently coincided to cause her downfall. Place your guesses in the comments and read the article next week!

It's not often my handwriting in the dark is so bad that my notes are illegible, but of course it happened when I was watching MOTHER MARY.

Oh shit, friends and fiends!

holy shit

welcome boils and ghouls!!

Just in time for @kristenklopez.bsky.social's book! Yay!!!

I'm still talking TALES but wanted to do one last share for what's over at The Film Maven right now: my review of YOU, ME & TUSCANY which is adorable and I'm not sure why Universal isn't hyping it harder. Read it now: thefilmmaven.com/you-me-and-t...

Let's gooooooooooo!

DON'T CANCEL THAT SHUDDER SUB YET, Y'ALL!

Good news.

Finally, peace in our times.

Holy shit, that's amazing

Wow wow wow! Never thought I'd see it! Anything is possible!
