film flubs: in the movie spartacus (1960), several different characters identify themselves as spartacus. this scene was mistakenly left in the final cut of the film

I did a full franchise rewatch a few years ago, and this take is correct.

@benpears.bsky.social’s new podcast has arrived! 🍿🎬📺📚🎢 #movies #moviepodcast #film #tv #books

Hey, we started a new podcast!

For those who have missed my musings about box office in podcast form, I now introduce you to Pop Cultured! A new Patreon show and, as part of it, @benpears.bsky.social and I will be doing a box office show entitled MOVIES NOW MORE THAN EVER. Subscribe, if you please 👇 www.patreon.com/popcultured

Hey, we started a new podcast!

#Ballerina: Ana de Armas kicks so much ass in this, it makes her performance in No Time to Die look like child's play. The movie starts out pretty rough, but eventually settles in and becomes an entertaining back-to-basics revenge story with some of the most creative action scenes of the franchise.

Whoa. #Andor had 400 speaking parts. Great part here at 30:00 where SlashFilm host invites Gilroy to shout out any unsung departments/crew. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/f...

/Film Daily is now /Film Weekly. The first episode of the new era is live, and features a great conversation with Tony Gilroy about #Andor, a chat with Chad Stahelski about Wick is Pain and his plans for #JohnWick 5, and a whole bunch of movie and TV news. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/f...

If you weren’t planning to see Sinners in theaters this weekend, it’s worth altering your plans to make it happen. Incredible movie. Listen to us talk about it on the latest episode of /Film Daily: open.spotify.com/episode/3ZGs...

I spoke with the legendary Delroy Lindo for #Sinners about Blacula, why people need to stop comparing Ryan Coogler and Spike Lee, the dangers of assimilation, and the doors he hopes this film opens for future artists. An honor. www.slashfilm.com/1837633/delr...

Movies that take place at roughly the same time

THE GORGE (2025)

That new #SNL docuseries on Peacock is so good, and it’s a great showcase for what I love about the series at its highest peaks and lowest valleys. www.slashfilm.com/1767616/new-...

Spoke with #DenOfThieves2Pantera writer/director Christian Gudegast about the new sequel, and get ready, Den-heads, because a director's cut of the first film is coming out soon: www.slashfilm.com/1730836/den-...

Ending the year at home making spaghetti and meatballs from scratch.

Happy Birthday, Val Kilmer

Happy Anniversary, @benpears.bsky.social 🥂

In Frosty the Snowman (1969), Karen and Frosty try to buy one ticket to the North Pole, and without batting an eye at the talking snowman with articulated limbs, this scam artist tries to send them zig-zagging across Canada for three thousand dollars and four cents. This is over $25,000 today.
