Another retro commercial. Does anyone remember this one? #tbt

@kevingoldstein.bsky.social Totally random query here, but any interest in coming on @unkindrewindpod.bsky.social where we revisit a movie from our guest's youth that they dug but haven't seen as an adult? Can gladly supply more details via email if you're game.

Haven’t had power for ten hours now. Boiler just got power via generator, but phone is near death. Wishing I had a hamster-fueled generator to power the turntable and speakers…

(just don’t fuck with this)

We’ve got an absolute banger of a bonus ep with @neutron.bsky.social talking about the positively batshit 1985 sci-fi horror flick Lifeforce. @heyseanmcgrath.bsky.social had never seen it and is forever changed/sullied. Audio edit to come later today. youtu.be/Ef3Tne1qJLw?...

“Seniors in long-term care facilities develop deep bonds with their staff. Blumberg’s residents, she said, ‘can relate to not being wanted, to being kicked out and coming to America for salvage and freedom and safety and shelter. And they want to be able to protect the Haitians.’”

I'm listening to Hania Rani's score for Sentimental Value for the first time on its own, and it was completely robbed of an Oscar nomination it deserved. She's great, and this is so beautiful. youtu.be/bnymieFim9Y?...

The claim that the man smashed his own skull into a brick wall turns out to have been a lie

Federico Fellini's Nights of Cabiria Shows Italian Working Class Life with Adam McKay @ghostpanther.bsky.social @cosmepolitics.bsky.social @neutron.bsky.social @alwaysflacko.bsky.social Filmsky 📽️ Full Episode: youtube.com/live/XhoHliP...

🚨After the East Palestine derailment, politicians got headlines, lawyers & investors got big payouts & Norfolk Southern got a settlement protecting itself. But many victims are sick & have gotten little to nothing. A must-read on how disaster is monetized for the powerful while victims suffer👇

IOW, Trump raped a slew of teens, had some of his rape victims murdered and buried on his golf course, watched a newborn get snuffed out, and grotesquely evaluated and inspected the genitals of minors with his children apparently in the room, and there’s still a lot more yet to be unearthed.

I think about Enigma as much as normal guys think about the Roman Empire.

I think it was Built to Spill in October of 1998. Either that or Better than Ezra (free tix, back when that was a thing around campus or at the Dinkytown Cheapo or Disc-Go-Round) a couple weeks later.

Minneapolis should press its momentum and demand not only withdrawal but start talking about the need for immediate reparations, loudly, with the total certainty that only winners have. "You have wronged us terribly and must pay recompense" and let them argue the second part.

Senator Ruben Gallego says no to DHS money as long as Stephen Miller is in office: “Stephen Miller is the brains behind the most unhinged and depraved policies we’ve seen in generations…. No funding DHS with that creep calling the shots.”

the Patriot subreddit is going through it

Rep. @ilhanmn.bsky.social has consistenly been personally targeted with some of the most vile rhetoric from President Trump. And she has continually refused to back down.

At least in Hell, I can still manage to see Shakedown in the theater in 35mm. joshduggan.substack.com/p/the-week-t...

"Every day, I wake up and see the news and I'm horrified. I think it is crazy that some people make it sound like it's acceptable, like the murder of civilians is acceptable." - Victor Wembanyama says about the killings in Minnesota Via DonHarris4/X

Look, I know SVU may not be your bag, but if you were ever going to watch an episode of SVU with the intent of checking out the podcast, there might not be a better choice than this one right here. Truly insane stuff going on in this one. It. Starts. With. Vampires.

While the later Neal Baer Era was often punctuated by flips of the script into wild new directions, have any started off in as strange a place as this? In what might be the only time in SVU's nearly 600 eps, we dive into the world of vampirism. Yes, vampires. www.munchmybenson.com/episodes/245...

We're back with bonus ep where we talk about this year's Oscar noms along with setting up next week's bonus ep Tobe Hooper's Poltergeist follow-up, the 1985 cautionary space travel tale with space vampires, Lifeforce, which we're watching with @neutron.bsky.social. unkindrewind.com/episodes/ann...

These fucking idiots didn’t know who they worked for?

Schumer, Jeffries and much of the current Democratic Party is not built for this fight or made for this moment. They've had 10 years. Just look at their actions. Trust your own eyes. We have to cull the party and replace the Vichy Dems with actual fighters and reformers. It's the only way.

Excited for Bovino and his new office.

You see, what has to happen here is that Pretti’s family HAS to sue Miller for $100 million for defamation of their son’s character. They’d win hands down, Miller would be bankrupted, and a serious message would be sent to all the other liars and criminals in this administration.

I went over to Instagram and read Kole Calhoun’s full statement and I’ve gotta say: fuck yes Kole Calhoun. (Two more in the next comment.)

NYT video analysis confirms victim’s gun was removed before he was shot. So he was unarmed. https://www.nytimes.com/2026/01/24/us/minneapolis-shooting-federal-agents-video.html

Witnesses are being taken to Whipple. From a lawyer friend: “They’re trying to keep local PD and BCA from getting statements and confiscating any phones with video.”

Our Democratic elected officials are not rising to this moment so most of them must go. Any elected official who isn’t willing to organize a Project 2029 around punishing everyone in the Trump administration in order to save democracy must go.

The Minnesota Timberwolves absolutely need to postpone their game today. Stop pretending everything is normal.

I just watched the shooting video. It's a horrific beating and execution in the middle of the street. If local and state officials don't move to arrest everyone involved for murder, they need to resign. Making arrests will de-escalate the situation. Do nothing and this is going to explode.

we actually need to band together and let the dems know we will never donate another cent or vote for the party again if a single member of the party votes to give a single cent to ice ever again

There has been an increasing sense in Minneapolis that we are on our own, that our elected representatives are unwilling and/or unable to take action to get these murderous Nazi thugs out of our community. I really hope that changes today. The time for pleading TV hits ended weeks ago.

A man was wrestled to the ground and shot multiple times by federal agents in Minneapolis

Two days ago, 7 democrats voted to fund that execution

Gotta remind yourself not to cry when you see the kid's signs. It's negative -25°F and tears are dangerous. "LEAVE MY FRIENDS ALONE!" "ICE GIT OUT YA FUCKIN DUMBIES 😡"

Friday Afternoon! (1/23) 1e/12c/11m/10p Movie Night Extravaganza is going to be joined by the one and only Adam McKay @ghostpanther.bsky.social to talk about Federico Fellini's Nights of Cabiria!! @cosmepolitics.bsky.social @neutron.bsky.social @alwaysflacko.bsky.social youtube.com/live/XhoHliP...

Jonathan Ross—the ICE fascist who killed Renee Good—is an 18-year ICE veteran, firearms instructor, & active shooter trainer. The people claiming "ICE needs more training" are missing the point. Ross's 2 DECADES of training IS what led him to execute Good. ICE Training IS the problem. Abolish ICE.

Ready for another Vanderpump reboot…

The Emperor’s baby mushroom dork is out there, and apparently no one in the room has the onions to do anything about it.

state-sponsored child trafficking

This guy went to work today, put a mask on, kidnapped a 5 year old child, and then used him as bait so both he and his father could be sent behind bars

Minnesota: "School officials say the [5-year-old] child was used as bait. They say [ICE] agents made little Liam knock on the door to ask to be let in in order to see if anyone else was home."

i learned today that ice is now pretending to be parents asking real parents how they organize school patrols and how they’re transporting kids. so in case you’re wondering if there’s any lows ice won’t stoop to to abduct our kids the answer is no

I managed to tear myself away from the doomscrolling enough to watch some stuff, even stuff that wasn't for Munch My Benson or Unkind Rewind, including a classic I did not like and a couple brand new movies. joshduggan.substack.com/p/the-week-t...

Carlos gets the call! Congratulations to Carlos Beltrán on his selection to the Hall of Fame!

ICE is seriously going to be Gaza all over again for Democrats isn’t it. They’re going to try it again, insisting if they just don’t talk about it then it’s not actually an issue that matters to millions of voters.
