Such a great chat w/ authors William Boyle & S.A. Cosby on Stephen King, sleeping w/ popsicle crucifixes, stripped down storytelling, cocaine filmmaking, his favorite character the writer, & the time my ex sis-in-law watched THE MIST & cursed me out, lol. You'll hear it all soon on #WatchWithJen!

Dear Los Angeles,

Come get your sun, it's drunk. Also, please return our rain when you get a chance.

Love, The Pacific Northwest

Me and @vpkeenan.bsky.social enjoying some horror movie inspired cocktails at Navy Strength. His is "Cleaners of the Rotten" inspired by When Evil Lurks and mine is a non-alcoholic "Samara's Cup" based on the American remake of The Ring. Recipe book coming soon, so stay tuned...

Me and Vince at a tiki bar decorated for Halloween. His cocktail has a glowing green ice cube. Mine has a blood orange and apricot garnish.

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

SOME PERSONAL NEWS! Cannot wait to get A HELL OF A DRINK out there in 2027. Chris Elford is a dear friend and a genius bartender. His horror movie inspired cocktails are fantastic. Every Sasquatch book is gorgeous. Halloween will never be the same again!

Feared this would happen, but hearing the news is still a gut punch. This is where Rosemarie and I co-hosted Noir City Seattle with Eddie Muller for years. Thinking back on the last films I saw here, 4K restorations of THE CONVERSATION and LE SAMOURAI. A fitting way to bring down the curtain.

Not sure what just happened to me now that WOLF'S HOLE is over. I was more worried about Pista the dog than any of the human characters but (spoilers) he survived. Anyway, onward...

I am hurt-myself-doing-yardwork years old. Guess I'll just watch some movies.
