We are ten weeks or so from the end of 2025 and DEAD LOVER is making a solid play for my number one film of the year.

"Do you read Josh Hurtado?"

Super excited to receive my contributors copy of IN THE MOUTH OF MADNESS from @arrowvideo.bsky.social in which I both praise and pity Sam Neill and his many movie misadventures. Big thanks to @neilsnowdon.bsky.social and @horrornonna.com for making my writing better!

IN THE MOUTH OF MADNESS

Dismember 2025 movie #4. I've seen this a bunch over the last few years while prepping my essay for this month's @arrowvideo.bsky.social 4K UHD release, tonight was my first time in a theater in thirty years (I saw it on opening night). Still rules

Dismember 2025 movie #3. Watched this one for Shocktober 2023, still pretty fun. That bonkers ending goes hard with a crowd.

Dismember 2025 movie #2. I only saw this for the first time last year, I think. Works much better in a theater!

SOMETHING WEIRD

Dismember 2025 movie #1. I haven't seen many HG Lewis films on the big screen, so this is a true joy 🖤

STEPHANOPOULOS: I didn't insinuate anything. I asked you whether Tom Homan accepted $50k as was heard on an audio tape recorded by the FBI in September 2024. You did not answer the question. Thank you for your time.

VANCE: No, George, I sai--

STEPHANOPOULOS: We'll be right back
