Stomach is churning at your garish AI disneyslop. Loser shit, day is ruined & I’m telling all my friends not to buy tickets to upcoming games @twinsbaseball.bsky.social

Bluesky wouldn’t post it apparently but this is the best shot in the movie. A pure Ozu shot in a movie that’s so visually different from the stuff he’s best known for

ℂ𝕒𝕟 𝕪𝕠𝕦 𝕔𝕒𝕝𝕝 𝕪𝕠𝕦𝕣𝕤𝕖𝕝𝕗 𝕒 𝕞𝕒𝕟? Today: A silent film we didn’t originally plan on covering. Is DRAGNET GIRL (1933) an interesting curio from Yasujirō Ozu’s early career? Or is there a good reason you’ve never heard of it? (links in 🧵) #filmsky #movies #podcast

When viewed from certain angles, the Uptown Little Caesars isn't strip mall chain pizza, it's an authentic local Italian restaurant located in a preserved scenic pedestrian alleyway.

Sometimes, you’re trying to work through big thoughts with a small brain in real time, and your index finger accidentally brushes the keyboard button that plays the Godzilla scream, and it totally derails your entire discussion. Let he who is without sin!

No clue if this kind of thing makes a drop in the bucket, but I'll be back at Prepare the Ground in Toronto next weekend for press Angling to interview some folks for the newsletter, but if anyone wants to host something with any acts there, hit my line and let's see what we can make happen

Producer’s note: While the English transliteration of the character name “Sanshō” features the diacritic ō, the film’s Westernized title largely omits it in favor of the standard “o”. Our episode and show notes preserve the same

Kinuyo Tanaka? Oh you mean the SECOND-EVER Japanese woman to direct a movie? We took the long way ‘round to her acting career because the @trylon.org screened a few of her own features in 2022, but we wanted to make room in the feed to see the other side of her work

Ever since I first saw Possibly In Michigan, interviewing the legendary Cecelia Condit has been a huge dream Now living in Minnesota, and appearing at the Walker tonight, I had a career-spanning chat with Condit for @racketmn.com, on everything from violence against women to borrowing human bones

They did this to me at work today and I'm still not fucking over it

Someone check on @matthelgeson.bsky.social thetubs.bandcamp.com/album/fade-t...

We disagree here! My simple-minded take: My favorite thing about Michael Mann movies is seeing how the people radically change each other under their shared material conditions! So when one of those people is an enigmatic, nihilistic void, feels like half of the equation is missing

Only thing I love more than watching HEAT is talking HEAT with podcasters who come slinging HEAT The rare movie where you think everything's been said about it before, but a podcast can only crack a fraction of the film (shoutout @kransekage.bsky.social for making this an excellent guest tag team)

Wired publishes an article that starts a massive discourse about the band Geese being a psy-op. What's the band's biggest song called? Taxes. When did they publish the article? April 14. What happens on April 15? This goes so much deeper than you even know.

Wow, even more Michael Mann podcasting! This time I got to be on with @nataliesnotinit.bsky.social who is brilliant and had some characteristically incredible film takes to share.

HUGE episode: Two of our best guests and bunches of great takes. Something for everyone here, no matter how you feel about HEAT or Mann

The testimony here about sexual violence by Israel against Palestinian prisoners is so beyond the pale everyone must see it. It is so bad I can’t in good conscience share a quote other than the headline, which somehow manages to understate the horror within. www.middleeasteye.net/news/i-wishe...

The most beautiful thing I have ever seen.

Now you can listen to me talking Michael Mann's THIEF with some great fellas! Even though they are making big profits from my work, my risk, my sweat. But that is okay, because I elected to make that deal. But now, the deal is over. I want my end, and I am out.

THIS SATURDAY NIGHT!!! Have you gotten your tickets yet?? If filth is your politics and filth is your life, come out to the Twin Cities' filthiest film screening of 2026!

You believe you have a chance to recover — but it is too late — you’ve proven yourself to this chamber closer in temperament — and indeed, moral stature — to the short downspout, efficiently ejecting rainwater directly into the backfill — through porous foundation walls — and back into your own home

Wife made muddy buddies

A film that feels almost impossible to comprehensively talk about in the span of two hours, but the Trylove guys always find a way! Noise music, being a woman in an industry built on misogyny, Internet-era decontextualized dehumanization, Gina Gershon's "I ❤️ Gossip" shirt... we talk about it all!

𝕀'𝕞 𝕟𝕠𝕥 𝕚𝕟 𝕔𝕠𝕟𝕥𝕣𝕠𝕝 𝕠𝕗 𝕒𝕟𝕪𝕥𝕙𝕚𝕟𝕘. @nataliesnotinit.bsky.social knows noise when she sees it, and DEMONLOVER (2002) is chock-full of it. Olivier Assayas's aggressively Web 1.0 look at power, sex, control, and subjugation — a movie that self-destructs while you're watching it. (links in 🧵)

Nevermind that it's already almost April — here's what's coming to the pod through June! 🎞️= 35mm THIEF 🎞️ HEAT COLLATERAL 🎞️ MIAMI VICE FAMILY PLOT 🎞️ A HEN IN THE WIND 🎞️ SANSHO THE BAILIFF 🎞️ THE BALLAD OF NARAYAMA DRAGNET GIRL or 80s ACTION (if we can get tickets)

Who would have thunk we’d get a guy who actually STUDIED a subject to discuss that subject on our PODCAST??? (We’ve done this a few times, actually) Still, a great chat about American labor and the Coal Wars!
