Happy birthday, Fritz Lang, born on this day 135 years ago in 1890! Re-upping this terrific conversation I had last month with @rafstitt.bsky.social and @jasonachristian.bsky.social all about Lang’s M, a masterpiece of sound and social anxiety.

Had a great time talking with Raf and Felicia about Bicycle Thieves, one of my all-time favorites. Check it out! screenagewasteland.com/the-canon-po... www.youtube.com/watch?v=QqA9...

A special #Noirvember themed missive on my Substack today. A few thoughts on my favourite German noir - and one of my favourite late film noirs generally - Helmut Kautner's 1961 film, BLACK GRAVEL. andrewnette.substack.com/p/helmut-kau...

Guaranteed listen.

This week I have Co-host of @coldwarcinema.com to discuss a terrible, yet analytically rich film: Red Dawn.

www.nytimes.com/2025/11/13/m... New York Times reviewer Bosley Crowther found the film “an ugly, depressing view of life.” Perhaps one had to be 16 to see “Viridiana” as a grown-up version of Mad magazine. Call mine a case of arrested development, but I still do.

Had a great time on the Left of the Projector podcast discussing the Reagan-era Cold War movie Red Dawn. We get into all sorts of things: history, theory, and production trivial, and enjoy panning a very bad but iconic movie. Check it out! Link: pod.link/1627324689/e...

Had a blast talking with @rafstitt.bsky.social and my @coldwarcinema.com co-host @ptklein.com about M (1931). Check it out! screenagewasteland.com/the-canon-po...

It's easier to imagine the end of capitalism than the end of chauvinism in the United States.

It's fascinating to see that not only liberal journals but even leftist journals will turn down a pitch if it is too critical (from the left) of canonical Western Marxists. The state doesn't need to pass laws to limit discourse. Editors will gladly do it voluntarily for free.

Great thread on the extraordinary Peter Watkins. Culloden, The War Game, Punishment Park and The Commune all affected me greatly

RIP to the one and only Peter Watkins, who just turned 90 years old the day before his death. Watkins was a fearless director, and criminally underknown.
