gotta start asking ppl to leave reviews and ratings on the pod, but any ratings/reviews help immensely! we just recorded our 2nd episode and i can't wait to share it next month, i think we killed it!

in our episode, we discuss Telly Savalas, star of Lisa and the Devil, how Kojak's lollipop gimmick came from the Bava film, and the CBS variety special sponsored by Kraft Foods 'Telly...Who Loves Ya, Baby?'. peak 70s overload youtu.be/J5TPvQ4TSC8?...

me anytime Mark Davis has a match

happy 20th to this extremely important & iconic reality tv moment, love you tiffany

FUCK ICE chants at AEW again. Routine now whenever Brody King wrestles. Damn proud to be a fan of non-MAGA wrestling 🤼

Would've have probably sold both kidneys to have seen Miles and Prince at Paisley Park on New Year's 1987

in our episode, i talk about my go-to favorite special effect, the last film-related work Mario Bava ever did: creating these skyscrapers for Dario Argento's Inferno, using milk cartons and photographs

There is nothing I like doing less on the show than asking people to like rate subscribe and leave reviews, it never feels natural or enjoyable. DO IT THOUGH FOR HER SHOW AND MINE

"That Teuvo Tulio box is an absolute stunner. Thank you for putting it out. Jolted me right out of my seat. Best thing I've seen in years." -Jimmy McDonough, author of the definitive bios of Andy Milligan, Russ Meyer, and the Ormond family. Thank you, Jimmy!!!

Finally got to sit down and read this and it’s a lovely tribute. Doing deeper dives on Wiseman and Ken Burns has been v illustrative to me of the wildly diverging ways these mislabeled “objective” filmmakers shape their works.

Great things are coming to the @jsfilmnyc.bsky.social: a Meiko Kaji retrospective at the end of March japansociety.org/film/meiko-k...

survivor 50 AND resident evil: requiem dropping this week, what a week

started my first ivy compton-burnett novel

so sad to hear about robert carradine. lizzie mcguire was both a little past my time & yet not, it was on all the time in my house as a teen. as i got older, i came to understand where he actually comes from. he is terribly moving in coming home, very tough to know his fate ended up being the same

That it’s not is all you need to know regarding the status of girls and women in America in 2026

danielle deadwyler being cast in the new x-files is music to my ears. i love her so so sooooooo much.

the love that john milius has for guns is parodic lmao, it's like his entire personality

monica garcia, icon, team monica forever

Wrote a brief obituary for Frederick Wiseman, largely about ASPEN and IN JACKSON HEIGHTS, two films whose points of view shine through in editing and focus. Gift link below. www.theatlantic.com/culture/2026...

an all-time top ten show for me

No one ever had to hop on a Teams call after the Blizzard of ‘78 I can guarantee you that

This guy gets it.

i think i spend like 10 hours at least prepping for recording a podcast episode & despite so much organization & attempts to consolidate, i end up going in with 9 pages of notes that still feel completely disorganized & my brain as scattered as can be lol

My goal here is to get at least one person to watch THE WHITE REINDEER. Free on Tubi!

I was on the Optimism Vaccine podcast to talk about three Hong Kong films from the immediate post-Handover years: Johnnie To's Lifeline and Fulltime Killer, and Wilson Yip's Bullets Over Summer. Check it out: www.optimismvaccine.com/episode/the-...

Our first proper episode of The Power of '73 Compels Us is up!! @palguy88.bsky.social & i discuss two fugue state films about women failing to keep their past lives at bay: Mario Bava's Lisa and the Devil & Jess Franco's The Other Side of the Mirror open.spotify.com/episode/38lg...

Ignite is gearing up for the release of its incredible fourth disc, a gorgeous 4K of Joseph H. Lewis’ The Big Combo. Check out our new banner by @alexxkittle.bsky.social and get ready for essays by @aduralde.bsky.social, @feminaridens.bsky.social, and more! www.ignite-films.com/blogs/the-ma...

you can find 90% of the movies being listed on memes about "what should be added to criterion" already available on home video through: gkids, deaf crocodile, arbelos films, discotek, shout, anime limited (or all the anime), kino lorber, and many more.

today's must-read! an excellent dive into one of the greats

“oh no, they added a movie normal people have heard of to the criterion collection” is a top 5 fakest problem of all time

@deafcrocodile.bsky.social is doing indispensable work so support their animation releases if you can. criterion historically ignores animation, let alone work in need of access/exposure/restoration, & they should do more in that dept. otherwise who cares, good on them for KPDH, they'll rake it in

The first of hopefully many write-ups, with this taking a look at AEW Dynamite #333 last Wednesday in Sacramento. I had a blast doing this, so I'm excited to dust some of the writing cobwebs off and do this every week.

SUZZANNA: EMPRESS OF DARKNESS Coming soon!

in case I somehow haven’t talked at you about BUFF during the past few months here is the news! I’m a shorts programmer and I am imploring you to come to the fest next month and see all the cool stuff we’ve been working so hard on

FOLKS! Today @boxofficegross.bsky.social BROUGHT IN A PRO TO GET US MOVING. The great @mobute.bsky.social returns to the show to help us delve into the maniacal high-concept rom-com FAILURE TO LAUNCH! podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/2...

working from home on my laptop to remote in to a two monitor system when i’m just using my laptop screen

Every single element of life is either more deadly, more expensive or more inconvenient (often all three) today than it’s been in decades & it’s purely because our robber baron overlords decided to dedicate the entirety of the US apparatus to doing barbaric & culturally suicidal white nationalism

Excalibur rocks

emperor of the north has led me to aldrich's the grissom gang, which equally fits in with dillinger (our pairing with EOTN) since its about ma barker & sons w/ a different name. diabolical so far.

I compared the climax of MADEA'S FAMILY REUNION to Rey Mysterio conspicuously getting his opponents to fall on the middle rope in a way that never happens in any other matches, there's no rules baybee, ONLY WRESTLING IS REAL

it took me several days to finish writing about the life and work of Frederick Wiseman, and i still could only scratch the surface. here are a couple thousand words about one of my favorite filmmakers, a titan and a genius and a man open.substack.com/pub/capybaro...

***ANNOUNCEMENT*** Coming in late March on #4K/Blu-ray dual format in the US from @deafcrocodile.bsky.social : #DeadMountaineersHotel (1979)! "I was on call to drive to a mountain hotel. The hotel's name was The Dead Mountaineer," says police inspector Peter Glebsky (Uldis Pūcītis) at the

what if i compare the abstracted primal & mythic battle of emperor of the north to the abstracted primal & mythic battles that take place in pro wrestling. this movie is a feud build.

just finished @mattzollerseitz.bsky.social the oliver stone experience. essential stuff, unfiltered, complex, deeply insightful. stone is unapologetically himself, which i love. cannot recommend it enough
