Aaron & Carlee of @hitfactorypod.bsky.social saw me from across the bar, really dug my vibe, and invited me to talk about 1 of De Palma’s 3 inarguable masterpieces, CARLITO’S WAY.

Also: SCARFACE as a septum-gored DAS KAPITAL, “natural artifice,” and De Palma as our most underrated melodramatist:

This site would actually be better if it had more voices from across the political spectrum, and efforts to push out right wing accounts are only entrenching Twitter/X's dominant position in the political discourse.

if you've talked to me about movies any time in the past year+, then you know that i think FAILED STATE is one of the best American independent films of the decade. I'm thrilled to get the chance to watch it with you all and to talk to the immensely talented Chris Bell about his work. Tap in!

For its 30th anniversary I wrote about STRANGE DAYS, its prophetic vision of the future, Kathryn Bigelow’s formal mastery, and how it ends things on a bold glimmer of hope. Now live over at InReviewOnline:

On our latest premium episode, we discuss the work of Paul Thomas Anderson and his ambitious, sweeping 1999 ensemble drama MAGNOLIA. We also contend with PTA skepticism, articulating the director's limitations as artist alongside his singular idiosyncrasies. Link below.

one day i'll write my big essay defending Saving Private Ryan as a subversive masterpiece about the pointlessness of war, and the violence undergirding the politics of that Norman Rockwell America
