And this is how 2026 *starts* ...

Our Favorites of 2025 continues with a look at @sdrebit.bsky.social’s favorite movies from this past year, including HEART EYES, MAN FINDS TAPE, and THE TOXIC AVENGER! @joshruben.bsky.social @peterhallhuman.bsky.social @paulgandersman.bsky.social @maconblair.bsky.social @magnoliapics.bsky.social

I love indie horror and discovering new filmmakers is always exciting. I really love MAN FINDS TAPE and truly enjoyed my conversation with writers/directors Peter Hall and Paul Gandersman. bloody-disgusting.com/interviews/3...

Maddening that the new Netflix interface doesn't go to an info page when you click on a title, it just presses play. Because who needs to know who made a movie, who is in it, or any other basic information...

Whoa

Edgar Wright's THE WORLD'S END is a New Years Eve movie. I'll not be taking questions at this time.

Yeah. Trillion dollars spent on the nerdiest shit, and it shows. Loved it.

📼 NEW EPISODE! 📼 From writer/directors @peterhallhuman.bsky.social and @paulgandersman.bsky.social, our review of the latest Rustic Films release MAN FINDS TAPE (2025) is now available. The movie is available on all major vod platforms, and our new episode is out wherever you get your pods!

I'm garbage at ARC RAIDERS but can't stop playing it. It's nice to feel young* again. *Except I used to be good at games

Happy celestial birthday to unrepentant karaoke snitch @scottwampler.bsky.social I miss you every day.

My hero

I would very much like to see Benoit Blanc's episode of The View

Also, on a purely craft level, the polish put on STRANGER THINGS is nuts. The sound mix alone tops not just other comparable streaming shows, but theatrical releases. All for a YA horror show!!!

Starting episode 6 and maaaaaan, STRANGER THINGS rules. Y'all missing out.

Last night’s rewatch of DIE HARD confirmed one thing for me: the shot where Al Powell walks out of the minimart and looks up at the skyline, only to see (and not hear) muzzle flashes above Nakatomi Plaza, is about as cool a piece of cinema as you could hope for.

My new favorite joke in CHRISTMAS VACATION is Clark putting lightbulbs in the shopping cart and Cousin Eddie immediately crushing them with more dog food. Your turn.

MARTY SUPREME is a blast, btw. Dunno if you've heard. If you haven't, now you have. With this post. That's how words work. Why am I still typi

Madisynn will return. (But not where you thiiiiiiiIIIINNNnkkkkk.)

Be selfish like me, buy yourself a subscription, keep forgetting you bought one, and then be pleasantly surprised each month.

just heard that my old friend Lawrence Raffel has died. I used to review horror films for his site and then later he hired me at FEARnet. we drifted apart after that site went under, and I wish we hadn't. my heart goes out to his wife and his son.

omg this is deeply accurate

When the title card showed up 17 minutes in I was confident I was in for a banger. Terrifying, heart-breaking, and maddening showcase of existential woe in a world gone insane and seemingly lacking reason or answers. Vitamin C’s “Graduation (Friends Forever)” meets Blair Witch Project for Gen Z.

It was a big scary year for me and I could not have done it alone. There are so many people who showed up and this one’s for Mallory Rubin. 🎧: open.spotify.com/episode/0IZp...

Love that this trailer for NIRVANNA THE BAND THE SHOW THE MOVIE doesn't give up the game at all. www.youtube.com/watch?v=oKlf...

about to record a conversation with @benrock.com, @peterhallhuman.bsky.social, and @paulgandersman.bsky.social. can anyone think of one thing we all have in common? besides being men?

Spielberg's AGE OF DISCLOSURE sequel looks fantastic.

“Stand By Me ends with one of the most iconic one-liners: ‘I never had any friends later on like the ones I had when I was 12. Jesus, does anyone?’ And it's bittersweet to hear in light of Reiner's death. I would argue one doesn't have friends or movies like the ones they had when they were 12.” 💔

First person to send us a selfie with a baby watching MAN FINDS TAPE at the Baby Day screening wins... Something. I don't know what, but it'll be special!

“You must have been tired,” said Toad. “I was tired,” said Frog, “and it started to rain.”

As we mourn Rob Reiner, don’t skip this: he was, pretty much, personally responsible for overturning California’s Prop 8 banning same sex marriage. www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/bus...

Rob Reiner was a good guy. He made a lot of movies about good guys, in worlds where not everyone was good and you didn’t have to be good. He made movies about people trying. He was angry, as many hopeful people are. He knew the world could be better and he wanted it to be. His death is devastating.

Rob Reiner made some great movies but he was also unafraid to speak the truth, and was one of the public voices who knew you don’t squander your platform, and only got louder about opposing evil fucks as he got older. Legend.

The closest I ever got to starting a podcast was one called Rob Reiner's Run where each week people could debate a director who had a better run of films. Just terrible, terrible news.

For everyone who keeps asking if there are any Benson & Moorhead easter eggs in MAN FINDS TAPE... there's one in this clip!

MAN FINDS TAPE, in theaters and VOD right now. Also in the next issue of FANGORIA!

Gonna get mushy with a mini thread... MAN FINDS TAPE is officially Certified Fresh, so I'd like to take a sec to thank every critic (on RT or not) who took the time to give our little movie a shot. It means so, so much to everyone involved that you gave your time to consider us.

Reddit AMA: @peterhallhuman.bsky.social & @paulgandersman.bsky.social take your MAN FINDS TAPE questions. www.reddit.com/r/movies/com...

Paramount already has Landman. They can’t buy WB and get Aquaman too. That’s clearly unconstitutional.

John Gholson as Endicott Carr?!?! Two Ts?!?! *Two* Rs?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

Never forget that Neo canonically won at #TheGameAwards and immediately tried to jump off a roof.

I miss playing new computer games.

🙏🙏🙏

Had a chance to sit down with Peter S Hall and Paul Gandersman, as well as the cast to talk to them about their really good found footage film Man Finds Tape #manfindstape thecinemen.com/2025/12/08/m...
