I *really* enjoyed reading Al Pacino's memoir SONNY BOY For @penguinpress.bsky.social (especially learning he and Martin Sheen were roommates for a time in New York). FULL REVIEW: comicon.com/2025/11/06/f... #ClassicFilmReading

Ever wonder what a parade would look like in Mega-City One? The answers are in this interview with @splinister.bsky.social & Joe Currie, plus an exclusive preview of their story for this year's @2000ad.bsky.social annual: comicon.com/2025/11/05/e...

Not only does the title keep getting the song What's the Buzz from Jesus Christ Super⭐️ stuck in my head but it's true: everyone should be ABUZZ about @amythunderjam.bsky.social & @stelladia.bsky.social's creative take on Shakepeare & I got to interview both creators here: comicon.com/2025/11/04/m...

"Here we believe in standing up for those we love, whether you are an immigrant, a member of the trans community, one of the many black women Trump has fired, a single mom waiting for the cost of groceries to go down, or anyone else with your back against the wall. Your struggle is ours too."

thank you for all the support; the statement from our union is now live here with some more reporting. now that this is public I can confirm that the majority of today’s layoffs were women of color. there are no longer any Black women working at Teen Vogue.

today’s information came out piecemeal, and people should be able to share their own situations on their own time, but I could share this much ^ as it is pretty cut and dry on the facts. Teen Vogue also no longer has any trans staffers as of today.

A total upgrade on the previous Blu (plus the old bonus features have been ported over), @secondsightfilms.bsky.social have outdone themselves with THE FLORIDA PROJECT, and it's not just quantity either. It's quality, starting with the beautiful package art. FULL REVIEW: comicon.com/2025/10/31/r...

#hellosunshinespoilers I'm not officially back or anything, I need some time off, but I felt bad leaving it where I left it so: *manifesting* (WIP)

If you’re already predisposed to liking melodramas of the Lana Turner or Susan Hayward variety, don't even hesitate: A SUMMER PLACE is a slam dunk and available on Blu-ray from Warner Archive. FULL REVIEW: comicon.com/2025/10/30/o...

If you're still looking for non-movie things to watch for Halloween, I curated a list of 10 anthology episodes. 🎃 Read more at my site. #Horror

A shaggy dog film with a slightly confusing performance by Alan Arkin, I got to review Warner Archive's recent Blu-ray of RAFFERTY AND THE GOLD DUST TWINS: comicon.com/2025/10/29/o...

Turns out America and the UK don’t have a monopoly on teenagers sporting pompadour hairstyles and doting on the Beatles. Available on Blu-ray from Altered Innocence, ANGST BY AUGUST is a fascinating chance to see two Danish takes on melodrama from director Billie August: comicon.com/2025/10/28/d...

Available now from @papercutzgn.bsky.social, I got to interview Lisa Manuzak Wiley about THE WITCHES OF PEPPERWOOD BAY for @flickeringmyth.bsky.social:

Can confirm, the degree to which research has gotten wildly harder in the last decade is huge. I'd be sunk if I hadn't compiled my massive Moore/Morrison interview database when I started Last War in Albion. That shit simply wouldn't be findable now.

“I hate film people at Halloween, wdym you’re drunk Margot Kidder in BLACK CHRISTMAS??”

As someone who knows themselves well enough to say rejecting the call to adventure would definitely be my bag, I appreciated Ember's vibe in @mattkindt.bsky.social & @davidrubin.bsky.social upcoming @darkhorse.com series SPACE SCOUTS and got to ask Matt a few ?s here: comicon.com/2025/10/24/a...

My latest for @thenation.com compares my recent Covid hospitalization with prisons’ lack of testing & treatment and, in some places, outright gaslighting www.thenation.com/article/soci...

I enjoyed this interview!! Good questions in here haha

Having been completely wowed by @keezyyoung.bsky.social's HELLO SUNSHINE last month, I couldn't wait to ask them their thoughts on horror and mental illness as portrayed in horror. No book has moved me more this year. Here's a link to the interview: comicon.com/2025/10/22/a...

Like the best remakes, Chew-Bose’s BONJOUR TRISTESSE makes some very different choices from Preminger’s BONJOUR TRISTESSE but both are worth picking up from @indicator.bsky.social (for Preminger's) and @kinolorber.com (for Chew-Bose's). MY FULL COMPARISON: comicon.com/2025/10/21/t...

Can't thank Ryan enough for having me on as a guest to talk Peyton Reed's commentary track. BRING IT ON is a film I used to watch when it was on TV but hadn't revisited in years. More films could do with a closing credits sequence that combines the song "Mickey" and bloopers

A classic Who villain and a Victorian mansion all play a part in DOCTOR WHO: THE QUINTESSENCE from @bigfinish.bsky.social. FULL REVIEW: comicon.com/2025/10/20/a...

Premiering at the @phillyfilmsociety.bsky.social's festival tonight, I got to interview director-writer Ian Kimble about his feature film debut DEAD GIVEAWAY: comicon.com/2025/10/17/3...

Mixing elements of Double Indemnity with The Manchurian Candidate, BRAINSTORM is psychological thriller excellence and deserves more acclaim. FULL REVIEW of Warner Archive's Blu-ray: comicon.com/2025/10/16/t...

INTRUDER IN THE DUST originally premiered in 1949 but hasn't lost any of its power. My review of Warner Archive's Blu-ray: comicon.com/2025/10/15/r...

I wasn't familiar with VANESSA FROM VENUS or SPELLBINDER before this year's TREASURY OF BRITISH COMICS ANNUAL (@2000ad.bsky.social) but am now hoping this won't be the last we see of them. Maybe this interview with David and Emily Roach will convince you, too: comicon.com/2025/10/13/a...

“I try to normalize masking: first, because we’re still in a pandemic, and second...”—Greg Pak, writer & filmmaker best known for comic books like Planet Hulk & Mech Cadat Yu, was interviewed by @msjulieslam.bsky.social from #MaskTogetherAmerica at #NYCC25 @newyorkcomiccon.bsky.social

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion. As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

Yea! Plus if THE INNOCENTS or MY COUSIN RACHEL was in color, that's Sigourney's outfit in this video -- gorgeous

Spoke with cnn while sitting on the floor of my hotel room hallway bc my family were asleep in the other room.

Katy Manning's birthday is next week and it was about time I listened to THE RETURN OF JO JONES which, I'm happy to report, is another great box set from @bigfinish.bsky.social. FULL REVIEW: comicon.com/2025/10/09/a...

these were all very fun questions to answer, thank you for the interview!

MOBY DUCK is everything you could want from a half duck, half whale cyptid & it was a joy to be able to ask @sgoetter.bsky.social and @nyaatalie.bsky.social's about their CRYPTID KIDS series for @01firstsecond.bsky.social, now w/pirates (as if you needed more incentive): comicon.com/2025/10/09/t...

BIG-ASS INTERVIEW! With BIG-ASS SWORD arriving in stores next month, writer/artist Andreas Butzbach sat down with @ziggystarlog.bsky.social at @thecomicon.bsky.social to talk about his inventive and unexpected sci-fi OGN! bit.ly/3WsBzOj

I wasn't sure how much Romy Schneider would be in 'Le Combat Dans L’île' but she has top billing for a reason & @filmsradiance.bsky.social's Blu-ray was a great surprise. Schneider also shines in ‘Maedchen In Uniform’ (avail. from @kinolorber.com) & I reviewed both here: comicon.com/2025/10/08/r...

I've seen a lot of excitement for Warner Archive's upcoming Tom and Jerry collection, but THE HUCKLEBERRY HOUND SHOW (featuring those "miserable meeces" Pixie and Dixie) is already here and you can check out my review at the link: comicon.com/2025/10/07/t...

Boasting a title that's extremely fun to say, BIG-ASS SWORD goes on sale next month from @2000ad.bsky.social and I got to ask Andreas Butzbach all about his English language graphic novel debut: comicon.com/2025/10/08/a...

Any episode that I'm on is a trans episode, but this month Progressively Horrified is all about the trans movies of trans film makers. Check it out!

If the words "next stop, The Twilight Zone" make your ears perk up than @idwpublishing.com has an anthology series for you and I got to ask co-editors, Ellen Boener and Nicolas Niño, some questions about it: comicon.com/2025/10/07/a...

Yay! It’s out tomorrow!!!

Mixing romcom with fairy tale in only the way @trungles.com can, their latest book ANGELICA AND THE BEAR PRINCE is exquisite and you can check out my interview with Trung here: comicon.com/2025/10/06/p...

THE STONESHORE REGISTER is atmosphere personified -- one of those can't quite put your finger on it but something is up with this small town delights of a graphic novel. Published by @darkhorse.com and written by @gwillow.me, I got to interview artist MK Perker here: comicon.com/2025/10/02/i...

Ultimately I wish the cards in TCM'S FILM FASHION ICONS DECK AND GUIDEBOOK were more trading card-coded but you can read my full review here: comicon.com/2025/10/02/p...

We're due for a @criterion.bsky.social flash sale one of these Tuesdays and I HIGHLY recommend JO JO DANCER, YOUR LIFE IS CALLING starring (and directed) by Richard Pryor. Full review here: comicon.com/2025/10/01/r...

Deborah Kerr in "Tea and Sympathy" - BOTD

Utkarsh Ambudkar (Ghosts) and @hannahrosemay.bsky.social (Exorcism at 1600 Penn) have teamed up with Guillermo Sana, @dearbhlala.bsky.social‬, and Steve Wands for THE GUY IN THE CHAIR, a new spy series from @darkhorse.com. Check out my interview with Utkarsh and Hannah below:

W/the recent passing of Claudia Cardinale, Once Upon A Time in the West has been on my mind a lot. Amazing Ameziane's graphic novel on the director of that spaghetti western, SERGIO LEONE, comes out Nov 4th from @comicstitan.bsky.social & I got to interview Ameziane here: comicon.com/2025/09/29/a...

if you watched Rez Dogs and were paying attention in the first couple minutes of The Lowdown, maybe you, like me, shouted "SUP, SHITASS?" at your screen

Sometimes you watch a trailer and know it's going to be your jam. Have officially watched the first episode now and can confirm The Lowdown is exactly my jam.

“We are told by leaders that we are the future. But when it comes to the ongoing pandemic, our present is being stolen right in front of our eyes.” Incredible speech by Violet Affleck who warned about the ongoing dangers of COVID & Long Covid, & advocated for masks and clean air at the UN today!
