What can I say? If a film has Harry Dean Stanton in a sparkly jacket that film is getting watched, which is why it's a good thing UFORIA is now available on Blu-ray from @kinolorber.com. FULL REVIEW: comicon.com/2026/04/16/f...

Having been a fan of @chriswkim.bsky.social's since HERMAN BY TRADE, his work always strikes a chord. His latest graphic novel comes out from @conundrumpress.bsky.social at the end of the month and I got to ask him a few questions here: comicon.com/2026/04/14/i...

Wasn't tipped off to Udo Kier appearing on Dark Winds this season. Delayed release schedules bring gifts sometimes.

What would it be like to have your childhood broadcasted to the 🌏? @jenniewoodndid.bsky.social & @joshcornillon.bsky.social's I DIDN'T ASK FOR THIS unpacks that very scenerio & I got to ask Wood all about the book which comes out from @maverickogn.bsky.social next week: comicon.com/2026/04/09/a...

A monster locker can only stay shut for so long. Bad for Pablo, great for fans of @jorgeagu.bsky.social and Andrés Vera Martínez's @01firstsecond.bsky.social series, MONSTER LOCKER. The sequel comes out April 21st but you can read this interview now: comicon.com/2026/04/07/p...

Need another reason to support PBS? Their latest import, THE COUNT OF MONTE CRISTO, airs Sundays on Masterpiece Theatre and I got to interview actress Ana Girardot about the show: comicon.com/2026/04/06/t...

Having been tempted to order the overpriced DVD after discovering D.E.B.S. on the Criterion Channel last year, I'm thrilled that's no longer necessary because D.E.B.S. is available on Blu-ray!!! My review of the spy rom-com here: comicon.com/2026/03/31/a...

Ever wonder what In Treatment would've been like if Gabriel Byrne's patients were Nessie and the Blob? PARAPSYCHOLOGIST goes on sale today from @comixology.bsky.social and I got to interview writers @schey.bsky.social & @takisoma.bsky.social about the graphic novel: comicon.com/2026/03/31/a...

I am loath to do this, but I need your help. My 20+ year marriage has unexpectedly imploded. There's a kid involved. Aside from Lupus, Autism and a shitty 2009 Mazda, I have nothing. Things are fairly desperate right now, so if you can help out now in any way at all I'd be really grateful ❤️

Season 5 of #FORALLMANKIND premieres this week on Apple TV but, if you've been waiting on Sony's slow release of the series on physical media, season 2 is finally available on Blu-ray and just as good as I remembered it. FULL REVIEW: comicon.com/2026/03/25/b...

I respect trans people, so it's such a little thing for me to not watch the Harry Potter trailer or show. The proceeds from that property go directly to funding anti-trans work. It's a straight line from HP to destroying lives. I can actually SAVE TIME by not supporting this. It requires NOTHING.

I mean this in all seriousness: it's amazing what finding a new TV show can do the spirit. Long day completely uplifted. The pizza didn't hurt either.

Seeking podcasts in need of a guest who can rattle on about movies:

To anyone who missed RAMZEE and @clordtc.bsky.social's dino-mite strip 🦖REX POWER🦖 from the sadly no longer existing magazine Monster Fun, @2000ad.bsky.social have collected the first arc in REX POWER: INVASION OF THE FEAR BUGS! and I got to interview them about it: comicon.com/2026/03/20/t...

Given how much I adore Mrs. Dalloway I don't know why I've never read Virginia Woolf's ORLANDO, but I can say I've now read Susanne Kuhlendahl's graphic novel adaptation from @helvetiq.bsky.social and even got to ask Kuhlendahl a few questions: comicon.com/2026/03/19/t...

also just sharing the link as far and wide as you can would be helpful. we're in real tight spot at the worst time of the year for freelancers (and everyone really), so the further the hat is passed the better. THANK YOU. gofund.me/7d1e65abe

Any graphic novel where one of the characters has a Great Mouse Detectives poster on their wall is a must read. INBETWEENS comes out later this month from @01firstsecond.bsky.social but you can read my interview with @faitherinhicks.bsky.social's now: comicon.com/2026/03/18/a...

DOG DAY AFTERNOON is a film I hold in the highest esteem, so getting to read Rachel Walther's new book on the film for @headpress.com was a massive treat, only matched by the chance to ask Walther some questions about it: comicon.com/2026/03/17/b...

An early EXCLUSIVE preview of issue #2 AND an interview with @meganbee.bsky.social and @eileenwdj.bsky.social about @idwpublishing.com's Monster High? BOOMUDA TRIANGLE #2 goes on sale next week but here's that article now: comicon.com/2026/03/11/t...

Almost 36 years since the show premiered & there's still so much to discover about Twin Peaks, as proven by @scottmeslow.bsky.social's new book A PLACE BOTH WONDERFUL AND STRANGE from @runningpressbooks.bsky.social. Check out my awesome, extensive interview w/Meslow here: comicon.com/2026/03/09/t...

Last yr it felt good to dabble in podcasting (& I got to guest on some amazing ones). Feel like I've lost some momentum going into 2026, so thought I'd throw it out there: if anyone's looking for a podcast guest to talk movies/TV, I'd love to be considered. Enjoy having that stuff to look forward to

Scott Joplin's "The Entertainer" is one of my favorite, nostalgia-inducing songs. SCOTT JOPLIN the biopic about the composer is on the frustrating side. My review of @kinolorber.com's Blu-ray: comicon.com/2026/03/06/s...

New interview with me talking disability in the movies!!!

From CODA to FORREST GUMP, @kristenklopez.bsky.social touches on these films & more in her book POPCORN DISABILITIES (@bloomsburyacademic.bsky.social), but I was especially excited to ask about SIGN OF THE RAM, a film that needs a Blu-ray & which needs Lopez on that disc: comicon.com/2026/03/06/a...

As someone who had a Powerpuff Girls birthday cake once and used to count Blossom as one of her imaginary friends, I enjoyed revisiting the series again (and especially learning the show did a rock opera episode inspired by Tommy/Jesus Christ Superstar). FULL REVIEW: comicon.com/2026/03/03/s...

Harry Belafonte in "Kansas City" - BOTD

Elizabeth Taylor in "Boom!" - BOTD

We are recording the HOLLY HUNTER Draft with Commissioner Clay, @pmiscove.bsky.social, guest co-commish @adambvary.bsky.social, and Official Sponsor @jimlaczkowski.net SOON! Which films starring the Oscar-winning actress NEED to make the list?!

This is a Nazi move. Stripping people of rights, invalidating their IDs, setting them up for criminalization and imprisonment. If you don't support trans rights, you support fascism.

Tom Courtenay in "The Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner" - BOTD

The air of menace is your friend (especially if it convinces you to pre-order DEAD TEENAGERS #1 from @oni-press.bsky.social)

CORRECTION: meant to say the first issue is coming from @oni-press.bsky.social. Also, Monday is the 23rd, not the 24th... Sorry. Dumb mistakes. Good thing it's Friday.

Have only read the first issue of DEAD TEENAGERS from @boom-studios.com but am so excited by the groundwork laid by @judedoyle.bsky.social & @caitlinyarsky.bsky.social. The FOC date is 2/24 but if you need a final push to pre-order, here's an interview with the creators: comicon.com/2026/02/20/t...

Outside of THE LAST HUNT, all of the films in Warner Archive's ROBERT TAYLOR COLLECTION are fantastic (but my heart belongs to IVANHOE, one of my favorite Robin Hood-by-any-other-name movies). FULL REVIEW: comicon.com/2026/02/18/r...

Some say it's an honor to be nominated. I say it's an honor to be invited to present an award again at tomorrow night's #ShelfShockRewind awards:

Hello, people of bluesky, if you are just joining us—here is an old comic I made about Dracula

Bud Cort (1948-2026) 🤍

THE RED HOUSE isn't quite a horror film, but it COULD'VE been a horror film, and that's what makes it so fun to watch. @filmmasters.bsky.social's Blu-ray is excellent. FULL REVIEW: comicon.com/2026/02/11/i...

If you've never seen James Van Der Beek in DON'T TRUST THE B IN APARTMENT 23, could not recommend that show enough

This fall Dr. Opal Lee will turn 100 years old. Meanwhile this week FIRST FREEDOM: THE STORY OF OPAL LEE AND JUNETEENTH comes out from @oni-press.bsky.social and I got to interview @angeliqueroche.bsky.social about her graphic novel on the activist: comicon.com/2026/02/10/a...

This is quite something...

MEGA-INTERVIEW! Herne & Shuck are on a mission in their latest series in 2000 AD - and creators @davidmbarnett.bsky.social and @drawninthemargins.bsky.social joined @thecomicon.bsky.social to explain how it's going (not well!) https://bit.ly/4r15Wt6

Move over Neil Armstrong. It's Archie's turn to launch into space in ARCHIE & FRIENDS: SPACE ADVENTURES. For more on the upcoming one-shot from @archiecomics.bsky.social, check out this interview with @danparent.bsky.social here: comicon.com/2026/02/09/t...

& in part 2 of my review of the 🇫🇷 NOIR COLLECTION II from @kinolorber.com, TRAPPED BY FEAR is better in theory than execution but still worthwhile for Belmondo fans. THE PASSION OF SLOW FIRE is existential gold — a Kafkaesque noir that won't disappoint but might depress: comicon.com/2026/02/04/b...

For part 1 of my my breakdown of @kinolorber.com's FRENCH NOIR COLLECTION II, Jean Gabin is absolutely gripping in RHINE VIRGIN while THE BEAST IS LOOSE makes for a confusing vehicle for Lino Ventura. FULL REVIEW: comicon.com/2026/02/05/g...
