Huge honor and pleasure to be invited on to one of my absolute favorite podcasts, Cows in the Field! We discuss Alex Garland & Ray Mendoza's provocative, fascinating WARFARE. Please enjoy and spread the word! podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/1...

WARFARE (2025) w/ @jimpenola.bsky.social! Garland, heroic sacrifice, music(!), decontextualizing violence, the film's commitment to realism, and much more! pocketcasts.com/podcasts/c9f...

This is really cool; social aesthetic value in action!!

Who here reads Sutter Cane? IN THE MOUTH OF MADNESS w/ Carly Severn (KQED). Listen below: pod.link/1505648062/e...

39. This is a nice essay by @justinkhoo.com on where Tenet fits into Nolan's occupation with characters struggling against the constraints that bind us all, particularly time. It doesn't mention le Guin's wonderful essay about the purpose of sci-fi, but it locates Nolan's sci-fi in that tradition:

*ahem* Moo.

RE-ANIMATOR w/ Scout Tafoya @honorszombie.bsky.social! We discuss the film, its impact and legacy, men's desire to procreate without women, practical effects, consent, horror, and of course, H.P. Lovecraft! podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/1...

7. This is a nice episode on Tenet from @cowspod.com. I particularly liked the observation that Kat is a victim of years of abuse, and that her singular focus on losing her son when faced with the possible end of the world (widely & smugly mocked at the time) makes more sense in light of that.

Dune 3: It’s Actually Part 2

This is such a wonderful list of movies: at least one masterpiece, several flawed but tremendous movies, and then two movies that straight-up do not exist. Oh, and Road to Perdition.

Great ep (great ep!). Listened during the second half of my ride around Toronto yesterday. From what I gather, Mann would consider it a flawed appreciation of his films, but I'd love to read a work on Mann and Marx. Time for my (at least) twice annual Miami Vice watch. Off to find a mojito...
