As Black History Month approaches, a reminder that HORROR NOIRE, the best-reviewed documentary of 2019, is at 100% on Rotten Tomatoes, but is still not “Certified Fresh” because there are only 38 reviews (RT says limited release movies require 40). Is this the year? Will you answer the call?

Go see SEND HELP! Sam Raimi is back, babes!
MJ’s @silberwhatever.com says, “SEND HELP relishes dishing out its ironic fates and telegraphed swerves because it understands how satisfying it is to get exactly what you ordered.”
#SendHelp is now playing in theaters.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.
