Been running my newsletter for two months and change and am coming up on 100 subscribers. Whoever is exactly the hundredth to sign up gets ice cream

Did another Substack post! This one is about two very good stage shows in NYC that you should see: Dad Don't Read This at @greenwichhouse.bsky.social and Camping at HERE Arts Center

For @documentary.org, it was a great privilege to talk to Jeff Tremaine about Jackass: Best and Last and take the series' craft seriously

I wrote the booklet essay for Cat City 2 as part of @deafcrocodile.bsky.social's release of the two Cat City films. Order now! Stocks are low! deafcrocodile.com/products/the...

Haven't weighed in on Disclosure Day because I kept meaning to write this, but that was delayed as I dealt with a parent visit/general malaise. But it's finally up. Anyway: I was let down! danschindel.substack.com/p/disclosure...

We often talk as if we're past "Peak TV," but things still happen like me learning there's a spy show starring Michael Fassbender and Jeffrey Wright in its second season on Paramount+ I've heard nothing about before

I had complete forget to mention but I have an article on Brazilian cinema relationship with the military dictatorship in the June issue of Sight and Sound which I assume is on stands for weeks now

Happy to announce that I have an essay in the booklet for @secondsightfilms.bsky.social's new release of The Name of the Rose, out Aug. 10! secondsightfilms.co.uk/products/the...

Honored to have participated in @documentary.org's poll about the best docs of the 21st century so far. Check out the results: documentary.org/greatestdocs...

Late posting this, but I had a great time talking to @isaacbutler.bsky.social about his new book about the culture wars of the '90s. Check it out when it hits stores later this month! www.theartnewspaper.com/2026/06/02/m...

For the Substack, I returned to a favored topic: Movies that are video games, whether they intend it or not danschindel.substack.com/p/movies-tha...

Why does every Nintendo Direct sound like this?

Staggered by Deja Vu. Peak War on Terror surveillance state letting you Rear Window so hard that you go back in time, and folks? You can watch the past in Tonyvision.

NEW YORK: On June 4, I’ll be hosting a Q&A with director Robert Petit after a screening of his new doc Underland, based on Robert Macfarlane’s wonderful book. angelikafilmcenter.com/nyc/movies/d...

New Substack post about Backrooms and the relationships between cinema, games, and creepypastas

Almost all of these jokes are too good to actually be in a Scary Movie

I did not attend Cannes this year, but six people I know did. So I asked them about the movies they watched and the meals they ate! Big thx to everyone who contributed including @danschindel.bsky.social www.butteredpopcorn.org/p/cannes-foo...

My last piece out of this year's Cannes is a guest post for the Substack That Final Scene, featuring capsule reviews and my thoughts on attending the festival for the first time

New substack post about liking but not loving boosters

For @reverseshot.bsky.social, we have another video gaming roundtable, featuring me, @kambole.bsky.social, @capybaroness.bsky.social, @woahitsjuanito.bsky.social, and @winnersusedrugs.bsky.social

New Cannes coverage at @hyperallergic.com is a review of Ron Howard's quite poor Richard Avedon documentary. More like AveDON'T

Getting back into the newsletter rhythm with a quick post about The Napa Boys, a movie that made me laugh a lot danschindel.substack.com/p/napa-boys-...

My first piece of Cannes coverage is up! Just a fun one for @culturedmag.com.web.brid.gy

Electric Venus, the Cannes opening night film, ends with a needle drop thats remarkably stupid in an exceptionally French middlebrow movie way

Well now

For @documentary.org, I talked with Xander Robin about his highly entertaining film The Python Hunt documentary.org/online-featu...

Disappointed by Silent Friend. Wrote about why for @reverseshot.bsky.social

Jackass fans we simply cannot stop winning

Very chuffed to do a guest post for the essential NYC arts newsletter Exhibits in New York, about the great Joan Semmel show at the Jewish Museum

Ella McCay has arrived at the Met Gala

Did a fun one for today. Fight with me about the ranking or which Frings I left out if you'd like

In a late-breaking Substack, I wrote about the mesmerizing school shooting opera (?!) Innocence danschindel.substack.com/p/innocence-...

Latest stack is an interview with Bill Morrison, master of the celluloid ethereal danschindel.substack.com/p/bill-morri...

found myself in a pretty trick spot: rent’s going up and I don't have much work right now. So I’m looking for (paid) assignments! I’m a pretty good critic, I've written a lot about Black film and animation – recent samples in replies! I can be reached at: kambole [at] outlook [dot] com

If I ever came across an Alien vs Predator situation I would simply use empathy and active listening to broker a lasting peace that saw the most pressing concerns of each side addressed equally.

watching The Python Hunt, a rare film I'm 100% sold on based on just one promo image
