We are the only podcast brave enough to ask, “Does Mike have ‘rizz?’”

Saw FACES OF DEATH tonight & while it’s okay overall, I walked out thinking maybe there are too many horror movies out right now.

Everyone should listen to Holy Terrors

My daughter has an upcoming double date with a classmate that texted her the following: “Are you a bank loan? because you have my interest.” If he asks her to marry him, i approve.

No matter the quality of movie, it's always a blast talking to @chewywalrus.bsky.social @brianwaves42.bsky.social & @arihellraiser.bsky.social Even with it's the Omen 4

double feature tonight at the movies, FORBIDDEN FRUITS then a Vietnamese horror adjacent drama BUNNIE!! that looked solid enough for a blind view.

Vote for Carrie so you can hear my thoughts on 1970s Nancy Allen, then look askew at me forever.

Mainstream media could do a lot better job covering social movements. It’s not easy to organize hundreds of thousands of people to take time on a Saturday to protest. It’s not a party, it’s a result of ineffective representation in Gov. Every effort to build a resilient society is worth it.

Haven’t been able to watch as much this past week but one solid new release, one classic Hollywood melodrama, a Depalma masterpiece & one for pod prep isn’t so bad #letterboxd #lastfourwatched #filmsky

If you immediately require a YA (or thereabouts) fantasy series, allow me to offer some Harry Potter alts: The Magicians, Earthsea, Ember in the Ashes, Shadow & Bone, Scholomance, The Raven Boys, Legendborn, Fourth Wing, Six of Crows, His Dark Materials, Chaos Walking, Legacy of Orïsha...

Went fairly light on the #Criterion flash sale: 4ks of Killers of the Flower Moon, Blood Simple, Double Indemnity & a bluray of Lady Snowblood. Getting two $10 coupons was nice.

For March, @daddydisco.bsky.social & @garrettmcdowell.bsky.social discuss Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein and its film adaptations! linktr.ee/spectercinema • CURSE OF FRANKENSTEIN • FRANKENHOOKER (ft. @brianwaves42.bsky.social) • FRANKENSTEIN ‘25 (300th ep) • VAN HELSING (ft. @eversonpoe.bsky.social)

Ada and i are at the fun vintage/junk store and a bunch of dudes (good naturedly) yelled at staff for changing all the “good ones” on the music system

Damn, rest in peace Buffy’s Nicholas Brendon.

The difference between following live sports on twitter and Bluesky is that when you get excited about a home run on Bluesky your comments are filled with replies about how liking baseball is neoliberal overreach and on Twitter the replies are filled with people going @Grok what is baseball

Seated for READY OR NOT HERE I COME, which I loudly yelled when entering the theater, and also sometimes during intimate moments.

I have had a very “meh” week and my last client on Friday rescheduled so tomorrow i am going to treat myself:

“Lets abandon our core voting blocks that have supported us for generations is a hell of a strategy Cotton. Let’s see how it plays out!!!

Before I even clicked the article i thought, “I bet Sam Adams wrote this, because he fucking sucks” and I was right on both counts.

Agree. I love this big, messy, bold movie with all my heart.

Some of the inevitable takes are already pretty bad so i gotta do something a little less anxiety provoking like watch If I Had Legs I’d Kick You for the first time

ahahahh. Jim Downey. He's just the fucking best.

Opera and ballet fans

I do not want this reboot of Austin Powers with Christian Bale as Dr. Evil, and Chalamet as Mini Me.

Man, fuck Sean Penn.

I’m pretty sure Amy Madigan is high as a kite, and her speech was a hoot. #Oscars

About three times a day this fucking clown says something that the Washington Post or New York Times would call for the immediate removal of Joe Biden for and today it’s just treated like this is the country we live in now oh well

Hear me out, what if we relaunch COBRA KAI but with chihuahuas?

“We bent the knee to conservatives and the movie tanked anyways”

About to sit down for day one of the Oscars showcase and catch TRAIN DREAMS, THE SECRET AGENT, ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER, HAMNET, and FRANKENSTEIN all in one go

Jesus Christ, i really loved THE BRIDE

If its playing anywhere near you, check out DOLLY this weekend-a heavily 70s influenced splatter film with great practical effects and some real uncomfortable moments.

A country that always has money to bomb children but never money to feed and clothe them isn’t one worth saving

Everytime SCREAM 7 has an opportunity to do something bold and exciting, it runs aggressively away from doing so. What a stinker.

Reminder that you don’t have to listen to a bloviated, pants shitting psychopath lie to you for two plus hours & can do literally anything else instead of

Snow is hip deep and about twice as high as the snowblower (not even counting the end of the driveway where its up to my chin) so last night and this morning have been lots of fun

Do not miss the Ghouls Magazine virtual birthday party this Saturday February 21st! Live streamed and recorded for watching later. I'm participating in one panel and hosting another. 🖤

Its @letterboxd.social Friday. Last four are from Brooks, Kurosawa, and two from Sidney Poitier #letterboxd #lastfourwatched

This sounds like chaos and i love it

My hot take is Vince Vaughn is only the second worst performance in this one

Casablanca would have been even better if when asked by Ilsa to play her favorite song, Sam busted out “It’s raining Tacos.”

The shingles vaccine is kicking my butt so Valentine’s Day meant staying in and cooking up a creamy caramelized onion sauce w/ chicken thighs, watching Casablanca and doing puzzles on the couch with mah better half.

Happy Valentine's Day! Throwback to this piece I wrote on Nekromantik 2 for Ghouls: www.ghoulsmagazine.com/articles/are...

How dare people, check notes, eat.

This is how Nancy defeats Freddy Krueger, so it’s a proven strategy

To drown out my sadness over this Patriots loss, I’m watching CLIFFORD, where Martin Short plays a sociopathic ten yr old who terrorizes his uncle, played by Charles Grodin. This factoid from the oral history is sending me.
