How I’m (riding) out of 2025:

Maybe the Epstein files aren’t redacted. Maybe they’re just wrapped until Christmas?

I will watch ANY movie in which the poster art looks like NES game box art.

Film 15 of #Deucember We're diving back into musical territory on @filmsatfirstsight.bsky.social thanks to @merzkyshoom.bsky.social, and luckily for me, it couldn't be grimier 😊 #NowWatching All That Jazz (1979)

New Episode Alert! This week we dive into a deliciously stylized neo-noir when friend of the show, Steve visits us to discuss Scott McGehee and David Siegel's Suture, a film where Dennis Haysbert is NOT the president of the USA. Tune in wherever you get your podcasts! #FilmSky #NeoNoir 📽️

When did we learn to swallow the salt from the sea? When did we get so good at grief? Good gracious me, Good gracious me…

Generally speaking, the sales leadership at any organization is a pack of dudes who’ve bonded over their mutual misunderstanding of Glengarry Glen Ross.

This is a MUST SEE on the big screen! 😍 And on 35mm?!?! 🤩🤩🤩

Oh so the central premise of Pluribus is basically Futurama’s “The Beast with a Billion Backs” but, like, real dusty. Alright I’m sold I’ll keep watching.

I don’t get to dress up often these days so here is proof that I can, in fact, clean up (despite the unkempt hair). And I just donated my No Shave November moneys so I can finally trim it and restore order.

Celebrate the Thanksgiving weekend properly at the Colonial Theatre tonight with a very special 16mm screening of Creepshow 2 presented by Exhumed Films, a film that traumatized young Joe so much that he never swam in a lake again 😅😱 Details linked below!! #FilmSky #HorrorSky #MutantFam �

Good Morning

You’ll be visited by thirty spirits. The thirty spirits:

We must make an Idol of our fear and call it God, Charlie Brown

The opening 10 minutes of The Phoenician Scheme are fucking awesome. That’s all I’ve watched so far.

Today’s low effort movie review: I watched La Haine. It landed well.

New Episode Alert! We invite new guest to the show, Deke, to the seedy side of cinema, rife with obscene phone calls, leering eyes, and Sal Mineo's naked torso, in Joseph Cates' underseen psychosexual thriller, Who Killed Teddy Bear. Available wherever you get your podcasts! #FilmSky #HorrorSky📽️

Mamdami is going to impose Shimmy Shimmy Law. Everyone will have to give him the mic, so he can take it away.

Used DVD Haul

Now is a great time to remind people of Betteridge’s Law of Headlines, “Any headline that ends in a question mark can be answered by the word ‘no.’” Equally as true here as with any other headline. Also, F the NYT.

With the release of ANOTHER episode of Short Ends tomorrow, let's celebrate short films for the rest of the week! Berta is a revenge-thriller written and directed by Lucía Forner Segarra which balances tension and moments of dark humor with an eye on social justice. #FilmSky #ShortFilms #Podcast📽️

New Short Ends Alert! Joe and @jodywebster.com from @dadsfromthecrypt.bsky.social dive into a bewilderingly good silent short from 1943, Meshes of the Afternoon, a film full of sunlit tension, doppelgangers, and a clocked killer. Available wherever you get your podcasts! #FilmSky #ShortFilms 🎥

At least, that’s how I remember it anyways…

“The [AI] Genie is out of the bottle, and you won’t be able to put it back.” We don’t want to put it back. We want to stomp the Genie and kill it dead and hang it’s corpse from our human-designed architecture as a warning to other Genies not to come around no more.

Very few lyrics capture how it feels to be alive in America in 2025 as well as this 1979 song written by a Brit about the Cold War. So many lines hit, but for me, right now, being on social media this very moment, it’s “And the wrong words make you listen in this criminal world” that comes to mind.

Special Delivery!

Things are going exactly as planned.

Day 17 of needlessly comparing every film to Southland Tales

Without any irony or insincerity, this is more accurate reporting than any national news org has produced since Trump took office. What’s that Frank Mankiewicz quote about F&L on the Campaign Trail 72? “The least factual, most accurate account of the election.” Yeah that.

He’s the best.

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

Claude AI’s logo is unironically Kurt Vonnegut’s butthole drawing

When you’re over-committed with personal and work responsibilities, but all you want to do is make some artwork/stingers, fux around with modular synths, and bullshit about ridiculous movies with friends on your podcast

So they’re saying human-made art is highly valuable. Sounds like the cost of doing business, mfers.

@merzkyshoom.bsky.social is gone for one episode of @filmsatfirstsight.bsky.social and I immediately veer the show in a ridiculous direction 😅

Scientists are saying the future is going to be far more futuristic than Richard Kelly had originally predicted.

Ok. THIS is where Bowie began to really hone the sound he was attempting on his prior 90s albums. A solid work. “Hallo Spaceboy” in particular sounds like it was produced by Al Jourgensen

Subscribe to The Onion. I want to have more subscribers than The Free Press as soon as possible. This is achievable. In exchange, when we sell the company to a drone and cobalt magnate so I can dive in a pool of gold coins Scrooge McDuck-style, you will be spared my wrath and retribution.

We are going to win.

#nw V/H/S Halloween
