one of my favorites is my piece on Luv from BLADE RUNNER 2049, a villainess whose flawed humanity best embodies the film's mediations on free will, agency, and what it means to be alive, as she fights (and fails) to overcome her programming: www.rogerebert.com/features/tea...

This piece on Den of Thieves is probably my favorite thing I’ve ever written. Used to live on a real site, they went away so now it’s on my Substack which you should totally sub to if you want to read more cool stuff like it or watch some fun interviews open.substack.com/pub/brandons...

House of Cinema has reached 200 public episodes! Thank you to everyone who has listened or shown support. An even bigger thank you to @countvolpe.bsky.social @clairacurtis.bsky.social for being amazing co-hosts and friends.
