MONARCH interviews! Come get ‘em while they’re hot! www.slashfilm.com/2111962/mona...

Just recorded a great new pair of episodes of Bill & Ashley’s Terror Theater. Gonna create an account for the podcast here soon!

But the sixth lead of NewsRadio told me Donald Trump wouldn’t start a Middle East war

fell for it again award

I know I don’t post here half as much as I should. It’s bloody exhausting to try and keep numerous plates spinning without feeling like you’re repeating yourself in the most obnoxious way.

Universal's classic 'Dracula' was released on this day in 1931. @billbria.bsky.social looked at the important influence of its earlier stage iteration: crookedmarquee.com/the-broadway...

I got to see 30 minutes of PROJECT HAIL MARY, and instantly fell in love with what I saw. This could be a special one, folks. www.slashfilm.com/2096092/proj...

I interviewed the director of THE MOMENT. www.slashfilm.com/2095085/char...

I watched 42 movies at Sundance. On today’s /Film Weekly, I talked about every single one with @ethananderton.bsky.social, and @billbria.bsky.social joined us for a dispatch from his time in Park City. The podcast is embedded in this article. Please read/listen! www.slashfilm.com/2093488/sund...

Putting it out there again that I'd be super honored to be commissioned for more Blu-Ray/4K work. Essays, commentaries, etc. Please reach out if you're a producer reading this!

I got to see #TheStrangersMovie Trilogy tonight. All 3 chapters properly edited into a single film (with intermission) as originally envisioned. In this cut, it’s the most ambitious slasher film since TERRIFIER 2. Harlin’s a mad lad, & Madelaine Petsch is a helluva Final Girl.

I was hoping to like #28YearsLaterTheBoneTemple , but I didn’t expect to love it so thoroughly, nor believe that it could reach (maybe even surpass) the heights set by its predecessor. But Nia DaCosta & co. pull it off! My review for @discussingfilm.net discussingfilm.net/2026/01/13/2...

Super excited to present our Best of 2025 episode! We sum up 2025 in horror for us, and count down our personal top 5 horror movies of the year. Will we have the same number one? Tune in!! podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/b...

Huge milestone for me as I got to speak to Darius Khondji about MARTY SUPREME, his philosophy of film versus digital, and so much more. Only at @discussingfilm.net ! discussingfilm.net/2026/01/12/d...

tfw you think “I will enjoy my morning with my new Sound of Music 4K” only to have it shit the bed 14 mins in, discover reams of complaints of similar issues on message boards, and have to order a replacement instead

So happy to make my @thathashtagshow.bsky.social debut, speaking with director Johannes Roberts about PRIMATE! We chat about gore and chimp suits, take a look: www.youtube.com/watch?v=0r-I...

A friend in Minneapolis just sent me this video. Looks like thousands have come together for a vigil after an ICE agent shot and killed 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good. This was my neighborhood for several years before coming to Portland.

The US people can stop Trump but it’ll require you to increase pressure tenfold, the dial must be all the way up, especially around Mara-A-Lago and the White House. It must be made clear Trump & his regime have to go. It requires everyone, from boots on the streets to friendlies in the legislature.

Glad to see people paying attention to the horrors of ICE, which has been committing daily human rights violations under both party administrations. A few orgs you can support that are fighting the good fight: @fwd.us @nipnlg.bsky.social @alotrolado-org.bsky.social @migrantsrights.bsky.social

I never anticipated how the RFK Jr. news headlines would be triggering, since I lost my father to Hepatitis B.

Johannes Roberts does it again, and by “it,” I mean make a visceral, delightfully mean-spirited, no frills horror thriller in PRIMATE. And to paraphrase Sia, I love chimp thrills! My review for @discussingfilm.net discussingfilm.net/2026/01/07/p...

all this is both foolish and unnecessary

hosting the Bill’s Choice Awards tonight !

Here are my top 25 movies of 2025! No outlet to publish this in this year, so a notes app screenshot it is. We’ve been blessed with a ton of cinematic riches this year, so while I could fuss over the order and inclusion for several more hours, but I’m going with my gut.

Finally saw TRAIN DREAMS, and was really touched by its “life and death of the anonymous American” fable. A great film for both those who believe that every little flutter of wings has meaning, as well as for those who believe that we’re merely dust in the wind.

Happy holidays, fiends!! For the annual Bill & Ashley’s Terror Theater holiday horror episode, we’ve thawed out 1997’s JACK FROST. Yes, the evil killer snowman movie. It’s a nasty & playful slice of good cheer & fear, and we hope you enjoy it with us: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/b...

Would anyone be interested in reading about my top 10 (or so) movies of 2025? I don’t have a place for them right now, so I was wondering if I should try to find one!

what if we kissed under the ANACONDA mistletoe?

With AVATAR: FIRE AND ASH, James Cameron makes yet another sweeping, exhilarating, imaginative sci-fi opus. A true genre epic that is as conceptually radical as its images are breathtakingly realized. My review for @slashfilm: www.slashfilm.com/2052082/avat...

#SongSungBlue gets emotional whiplash from resisting being a standard weepie. Instead, it wants to be a celebration of performers, their love of music, & its power to make life’s hardships all worth it. Overwrought, exuberant, catchy & charming; sounds like Neil Diamond to me.

Thanks so much to @bjcolangelo.bsky.social for spotting this EDDINGTON pull quote I didn’t know I had! Proud to stand alongside these other folks listed (as well as, by implication, John Waters)

Got some ball tonight

James L. Brooks’ return to the director’s chair sees him triple down on his love of Capraesque screwball traditions, so much so that it’ll either infuriate or charm you. It just so happens that I’m in the latter camp, c’est la vie… www.slashfilm.com/2048313/ella...

#28YearsLaterTheBoneTemple sees Nia DaCosta take Alex Garland’s uninhibited script to delirious heights of transverberation. Easily one of Ralph Fiennes & Jack O’Connell’s finest hours. Severe, emotional, thoughtful, and playful in equal measure. Also: metal as fuck. How’s that?

Now seated!!!

We're still out here supporting movies, especially indie films that are as exciting, original, and innovative as MAN FINDS TAPE, which is out today. Read why I think it stands out from the pack on @slashfilm.bsky.social : www.slashfilm.com/2043671/man-...

what if we cuddled at the ANACONDA display on Sunset Blvd

How it feels when James Cameron tells you “good conversation” after your interview

Me and my good friend Payakan

Last night, I was honored to get a round trip ticket to Pandora on the Disney lot to see a collection of costumes, props, filming equipment and more from the AVATAR films, including #AvatarFireAndAsh! It’s a helluva exhibit, increasing my appreciation for the films.

One of my favorite chats that I’ve had this year, for @slashfilm.bsky.social ! www.slashfilm.com/2030062/eter...

Made it to mom’s house and saw some lads were already bunking in my room.

Having a great Saturday so far

WICKED FOR GOOD ending spoilers

#SisuRoadToRevenge repeats the original & adds “bigger budget” spices in the form of Stephen Lang & even more outrageously cartoonish kills. Jalmari Helander leans into the myth-making of Aatami, and the revenge plot, tho standard, packs a more satisfying punch than the first.

Tim Burton's 'Sleepy Hollow' was released on this day in 1999. @billbria.bsky.social praises its distinct style: crookedmarquee.com/sleepy-hollo...

I’d say to follow BJ but I can’t even get massive numbers of folks to follow me, so now who’s pathetic and embarrassing lol

#Keeper is Oz Perkins’ POSSESSION. Also ROSEMARY’S BABY, also THE CALLER, also SILENT HILL…you get the idea. My full review of this layer cake of a movie for @slashfilm.bsky.social : www.slashfilm.com/2024532/keep...
