On Friday, MY UNDESIRABLE FRIENDS comes to Mubi. Last summer, I had a long conversation with director Julia Loktev about the film and the lessons she learned about authoritarianism. There are a couple quotes in here I think about all the time.

Absolutely. It will keep you warm and make you look extra-handsome.

New episode! We recap the Oscars, review "Undertone" and go back to 1995 to revisit "Casino." Apple: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/2... Spotify: open.spotify.com/episode/4JIi... We're so tired after all that. A nap sounds wonderful.

We've updated our rankings of every Best Picture winner to include "One Battle After Another." We are bullish about this movie!

For @ebertvoices.bsky.social, I wrote about last night's Oscars, which were a fitting tribute to a troubled, resilient industry whose greatest hope is its visionary auteurs.

The Oscars are Sunday. For @ebertvoices.bsky.social, I paid tribute to 10 great movies from 2025 whose names we won't hear once during the show. Which is a shame.

On this week's episode: 1) We REALLY disagree about "The Bride!" 2) We dig "Hoppers" 3) We make our final Oscar predictions Apple: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t... Spotify: open.spotify.com/episode/6vll... Hope you enjoy. Seeing a movie makes everything better.

Now that "Hoppers" is out, we've updated our Pixar rankings for @vulture.com.

In honor of "The Bride!," we've updated our Christian Bale rankings for our friends at @vulture.com.

I did a ranking of every film I saw at this year's Sundance. Plus, I had some thoughts about what it means when a film festival leaves its home.

Getting ready for our next Reboot segment.

For those who have been wondering when/how they can see "My Undesirable Friends," I have good news.

THE 25 BEST FILMS OF 2025 A Video Countdown vimeo.com/1156345183

The gentlemen responsible for the Grierson & Leitch podcast did this very thing constantly in high school. Those are some of our favorite memories ever. As usual, Ted Sarandos is saying something that he wants to be true, not something that actually is.

Central Illinois represnt! Driving between Champaign, BN, Springfield, Peoria, Quad Cities chasing concerts/movies/parties was a right of passage!.

This is a thing even in pretty big suburbs. My wife and I routinely have to go into Hamilton (30m drive) or downtown Toronto (1hr train) to see art house, indie or foreign films.

I’m 50 with a family, and my local theatre only shows children’s films and dreck (Marty Supreme, did not come here. One Battle was 1 week!). I live 2 hours from the nearest multiplex, and 6 from an IMAX. And I plan entire weekends around getting to either of those locations to watch movies.

I lived in a small town 30 minutes away from my closest theater and all my friends in high school. The day I got my license, I drove to see a movie.

On our latest episode, we catch up with "Avatar: Fire and Ash." And Grierson previews the five movies he's most interested to see at Sundance. Apple: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/s... Spotify: open.spotify.com/episode/2peu... Hope you're hanging in there.

@griersonleitch.bsky.social Thought of you guys as soon as I saw it.

Welcome to 2026, the future time of METROPOLIS, released in 1927.

For my annual end-of-the-year piece, I picked my Top 10 films and wrote about going on a Christmas road trip across America during this perilous political moment. Happy 2026, everyone.

I don’t know if Reflection in a Dead Diamond was the best movie of the year, but it was certainly the most movie of the year.

Folks, it's time. Welcome to Dorkfest 2025, where we each reveal our lists of the 10 best films of the year. Apple: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/d... Spotify: open.spotify.com/episode/2Tpj... Have a wonderful holiday season. We love you all.

SO many to see but I loved "Weapons" and "It Was Just an Accident"

One Battle after Another Living in rural America means I don’t see most of the late releases until they’re streaming, but here’s a top ten of what I managed to get to so far. One Battle Weapons Eddington Train Dreams Perfect Neighbor Predators Sinners Black Bag Friendship Sorry, Baby

One Battle After Another, followed closely by the one sequence in Ballerina where they fought in the cottage kitchen

Tonight, we record Dorkfest. We know a lot of our listeners haven't had a chance yet to see many of the end-of-the-year movies. But at this point, what's your favorite film of 2025?

It's our lightning-round episode! We do rapid-fire reviews of The Testament of Ann Lee Song Sung Blue My Undesirable Friends No Other Choice Father Mother Sister Brother Dead Man’s Wire Apple: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t... Spotify: open.spotify.com/episode/3YlI... And coming soon: Dorkfest.

Amidst so much sad news, a little bit of joy: Lynne Littman's singular TESTAMENT is being added to the Criterion Collection. www.criterion.com/films/34202-...

The news about Rob Reiner and Michele Singer is heartbreaking. For @rollingstone.com, Althea Legaspi and I wrote some words about his legacy as a director of incredible popular entertainments.

Tonight, we'll be reviewing three new movies.
