Reformed January 6th participant (who refused a pardon): “You can't gaslight me. I was there. I saw the officers being pepper sprayed. I watched one of them fall down and hit his head and his back. So don't be telling me it wasn't violent.”

This week's WHITE MEAT movie recommendation is ASSAULT ON PRECINCT 13 because something about today puts me in mind of a siege. www.imdb.com/title/tt0074...

See this? This right here is why I love SINNERS.

In honor of the anniversary everyone refuses to acknowledge, I'm linking you to @parkermolloy.com's excellent summary of Jack Smith's testimony. tldr: Trump did that shit. We know Trump did that shit. We can prove Trump did that shit. www.readtpa.com/p/house-repu...

I wish this wasn’t so accurate.

Has anyone, out of protest, asked Grok for nude photos of Elon Musk?

Did you know? We've got a WHITE MEAT PODCAST where we cover such topics as Queer Horror, Black Horror, and the spooky history of Philadelphia. Check it out! open.spotify.com/show/0fTmhnk... #BlackSky #HorrorSky #FilmSky

Part of the reason I love DOCTOR WHO is that the term “malevolent cactus” can show up in a plot synopsis and it’s really no big deal.

Anti-war march in NYC, organized overnight. Happening right now, 8th Ave. People care.

In THE PRINCESS BRIDE when Vizzini says “Move the thing! And that other thing!” That is EXACTLY how I’d be on a boat.

TIL that the voice asking Danny Ocean questions at the beginning of OCEAN’S ELEVEN is Viola fucking Davis!

I will forever cherish the irony that the movie 42ND STREET ends in...Philadelphia.

This week's WHITE MEAT movie recommendation is spurred by rumors that we might be getting a sequel to this stone cold classic, the underrated gem, JENNIFER'S BODY. www.imdb.com/title/tt1131...

Is it just me or is RABID kind of profound? It’s probably just me. #HorrorSky

CLOSE ENCOUNTERS question: Do we think Roy and Ronnie would have stayed together if the aliens never happened?

My favorite reaction to a UFO ever is when Barry yells “Ice cream!” in CLOSE ENCOUNTERS

I really enjoyed MISSION IMPOSSIBLE FINAL RECKONING but for my money the best action film of the year has gotta be SISU: ROAD TO REVENGE. www.imdb.com/title/tt3184...

There are several moments in XANADU that can only be described as “I think the shrooms are kicking in” moments.

The thing I’m having the hardest time getting my head around in the bonkers to the hilt lunacy of XANADU is that there used to be a job where you’d get paid to hand paint album covers.

Did y’all know hockey got outlawed last year? At least according to JASON X.

Gotta admit, this is my favorite Christmas gift this year.

Yup

Anyone can release their Top Ten TV Shows of 2025 around now, but it takes a real genius—a real lazy, procrastinating genius—to release their favorite tv of 2024. movie-pundit.medium.com/top-ten-tv-o...

This week’s WHITE MEAT movie recommendation is the original BLACK CHRISTMAS from 1974. Truly one of the creepiest endings to a slasher movie I’ve ever seen. www.imdb.com/title/tt0071...

Extremely disappointed (but maybe not surprised) that Delroy Lindo has not been a part of the Best Supporting Actor conversation so far for his work in SINNERS. One of the best performances of an illustrious career. #HorrorSky #FilmSky #BlackSky

Per NY Times’s Michael Grynbaum on X, this is Sharyn Alfonsi’s email to her “60 Minutes” colleagues in full:

I wish apps would stop sending me my year in review. Does this LOOK like a year I want to fucking review?

I can't think of another director talented enough to make both one of the best romcoms and and one of the best horror films of all time.

On the latest episode of The White Meat Podcast, I talk to Brent Satterly (a.k.a. Clitty Umbridge) about queer horror. #HorrorSky #FilmSky open.spotify.com/episode/6cGF...

I watched Wake Up Dead Man and, guess what, it's good.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. If you wanna understand what's going on in the world today, you have to watch EXTERMINATE ALL THE BRUTES. www.imdb.com/title/tt8396...

super fun thread analyzing DIE HARD by a filmmaker!

The amount of set up/payoff groundwork in just the first five minutes of DIE HARD is astounding

!!!

This week's WHITE MEAT movie recommendation is BRING HER BACK, the Philippou brothers' terrifying follow up to TALK TO ME. Should put Sally Hawkins in the Oscar conversation right alongside Amy Madigan for WEAPONS horror-wise IMHO. www.imdb.com/title/tt3224... #HorrorSky #FilmSky

I’m delighted to see Amy Madigan in the Best Supporting Actress conversation, but let’s not forget Sally Hawkins in BRING HER BACK. Damn. #HorrorSky #FilmSky

Had a great time with these amazing filmmakers—Li Sumpter, @duskyprojects.bsky.social, and Gabe Castro—at the How to Serve Man event last week. We screened our shorts and answered questions (moderated by The Micheaux Mission's own Len Webb). #BlackSky #HorrorSky #FilmSky

“So I saw Kate and Leo hanging on to the side of that table and I thought, ‘If they ever make it to shore, they could sell cocaine.’ So I blew them the fuck up.”

We just got a puppy but she doesn't have a name yet so for now she is THE PUPPY WITH NO NAME which means she'll go around solving crimes and avenging injustice.

TOMORROW NIGHT! Come see WHITE MEAT: APPETIZER and three other genre shorts by BIPOC filmmakers in Philly. ticketstripe.com/events/49121...

Starbucks settles New York City worker scheduling violations. "Fast food employers must give workers regular schedules..., must provide schedules 14 days in advance and cannot reduce hours by more than 15% without ‘just cause or a legitimate business reason’." www.nytimes.com/2025/12/01/n...

WALE UP DEAD MAN is soooooo gooooood y’all!!!!!

REAL GENIUS fans will understand why I've been thinking about this scene a lot for the past few years and for the next twenty. youtu.be/EueMqc8i4GI?...

Whenever I try to describe the brilliance of Tumblr and how it's the internet we deserve I usually end up talking about Goncharov and people wonder "what the hell is Goncharov". This, the hell, is Goncharov. Some pausing required. via @turnpikeghosts.bsky.social (on Tumblr, of course.)
