The start of something bigger for my own writing as well as what @blackkrystel.bsky.social & I have been building in our small niche over the last 5 years. Looking forward to using BlueSky & #FilmSky as a primary point of promoting this effort. Glad to be here.

ICYMI, we've added Revenge of the Film Blog to the stable of work we're doing on film analysis and criticism. More polish is definitely coming (memberships, paid subscriptions, etc), but right now, we're proud to give you all a mission statement about why we're doing this. We hope you enjoy #FilmSky

Alright #FilmSky, it's time for something new. We've wanted to bring you more Revenge of the Film Nerds for a while now, and it's finally time to announce that we are starting to build a platform on Ghost! Essays, newsletters, and reviews & more, COMING SOON!

OUR FIRST POST ON GHOST IS NOW LIVE!!! @unclespaceghost.bsky.social felt it was best that we start our new endeavor with a mission statement of sorts, and what better way to do that than tell all of you here on #FilmSky what led us to this place after 5 years of podcasts and a lifelong love of film

Quite literally the single thing that would make me interested in Elden anything

Considering Garland's inspiration for 28 Days Later stemmed from his love of Resident Evil and the curiosity it evoked within him, this could wind up being seriously good.

Proud to be starting this new chapter. Proud to be involved in this project with @blackkrystel.bsky.social Excited to be in a place where I feel assured enough in my own vulnerability to write again. I hope you all enjoy.

So... So is Saturday a good day to talk about Fight Club? We hear the creator of Fight Club goes on Saturdays. They say he's a great man. Do you know Tyler Durden?

When I was 16 years old, I saw an original 70mm print of Apocalypse Now, and nothing has ever been the same since. Before that screening, I was curious about art. After? I cannot conceive of a life that does not center on creating or helping others create.

If you could recommend one black-and-white movie to someone who dislikes them, what would it be? It's a dead heat over here:

Seems like a good time to revisit The People Vs Larry Flynt

Been a while since I've had to test myself as a dialogue editor, but I got into a serious groove today around noon eastern and never really stopped 😅 Anyway, this was a fantastic discussion with @blackkrystel.bsky.social on everything Fight Club, and I hope y'all have a great time listening!

Cut to @unclespaceghost.bsky.social frantically rushing to his keyboard to write Ex Machina 12 times

You wake up at Gordon Lish You wake up at Raymond Carver You wake up at Amy Hempel This is your history research for the upcoming Fight Club episode, and it's ending one minute at a time. (Jokes aside, I can't wait to record this one. New episode will be on the way soon!)

WE ARE REVENGE OF THE FILM NERDS, AND WE ARE HERE TO TALK ABOUT MOVIES AND PODCAST AND STUFF! ONE, TWO, THREE, FOUR! Our brand new episode on Scott Pilgrim Vs the World is OUT NOW! @blackkrystel.bsky.social's first pick of the new season ended up being an absolute joy to dive into.

Alright #FilmSky, we've got you covered for the end of SDCC week! Take a deep dive into one of the greatest comic book adaptations of all time, courtesy of the Film Nerds!

Realized that today was the anniversary of shooting the short film that got me into NYU, and I thought it would be fun to revisit it. I did NOT expect 17-year-old me to genuinely have such a strong grasp on burnout 😂

For those of you on #FilmSky who need something fun to cap off your week, our newest episode on Scott Pilgrim Vs the World is out now! Available basically wherever you get your podcasts :)

Drop some TOONS!

Praying this remake is much more 1968 than 1999

Some Monday Movie Magic! DID YOU KNOW: In 1990's Total Recall, the only CGI used is the X-Ray Scanner at the Spaceport. Every other effect, including the Mars Train zoom, was done practically. For the train window, reverse projection was used a la the landing scene in 2001: A Space Odyssey.

You’ve inherited a movie theater, what’s your first double feature? All That Jazz (1979) & Apocalypse Now! (1979)

"I should like to help everyone, if possible: Jew and gentile, black man, white. We all want to help one another. Human beings are like that. We want to live by each other's happiness, not by each other's misery. We don't want to hate and despise one another."

Now #FilmSky, you know after BK & Space got into their philosophy bag that they weren't going to make you wait too long for Part 2 of their discussion on The Matrix, right? IT'S OUT NOW WHEREVER YOU GET YOUR PODCASTS!!! Let the Film Nerds show you just how deep the Rabbit Hole goes...

ICYMI #FilmSky Probably one of the most fun recordings we've ever done for the podcast. @blackkrystel.bsky.social seriously flexed her philosophy muscles in this one. @unclespaceghost.bsky.social tried his best 😂 Part 1 of our discussion on The Matrix is LIVE wherever you podcast!!!

So... We tried to get onboard with this whole "10 best movies of the 21st Century thing #FilmSky. We really did... But we're still at ~250 on our shortlist We'll let you know if we get beyond having a Top 10 for each year of the millennium. Though I guess we *could* post that...

NEW WEEK, NEW FILM NERDS!!! We've finally jumped into the podcasts for our 4th Watchlist, and we're kicking things off with an absolute icon of science fiction and action filmmaking - a movie that paved the way for the new millennium. It's time for a deep dive into The Matrix! PART 1 LIVE NOW!

28 Years Later is now in theaters, so if you're catching up on the series... How about a podcast on the subversive, shocking film that started it all? (And get some zombie history as a bonus!)

We're a few days late, but we want to wish "Bruce" AKA Jaws a belated Happy 50th! One of the most iconic films ever made & the original blockbuster that changed how the industry operated forever. You'd never know it's also one of the most chaotic shoots ever! We covered the whole story HERE:

But seriously: This episode was mind-blowing to research. Well worth your time if you need a distraction today (or if you just want to learn some genuinely incredible history)

Happy Friday #FilmSky! How about finishing your week with one of the most insane stories ever told in the history of Hollywood? If you're into that sort of thing, our 2-part podcast on The Godfather has you covered! A tale like no other in the annals of film production. BOTH PARTS OUT NOW!

THE NEW EPISODE OF REVENGE OF THE FILM NERDS IS HERE!!! Our discussion on The Godfather left y'all with one heck of a cliffhanger in Part 1. Now... witness how the story gets even crazier in Part 2 of our story! AVAILABLE WHEREVER YOU GET YOUR PODCASTS!

Alright #MovieSky, you've been very patient with us, and your patience is about to pay off!!! The 2nd Part of our discussion on The Godfather is set to drop this afternoon! We will let you know as soon as it is available. Our first 2-parter is one you won't want to miss.

ICYMI #FilmSky, we dropped our latest episode last night! Our deep dive into The Godfather revealed a rabbit hole so deep that we couldn't contain everything in just one episode... PART 1 is AVAILABLE NOW!

And for our listeners in Spotify, you can catch the first part of our two-part special on The Godfather right here! (Seriously though #FilmSky, this might be the craziest history we've ever covered. If you've never listened to us, there's never been a better time to jump in!)

Quite possibly the most fascinating film about repressed masculinity ever made. Cassavetes practically traps you with these three for 2 1/2 hours, and it is brtual, revealing, and shocking all at once. One of his best.
