Whenever I watch “Rain Man,” I always wonder what Charlie and Raymond’s father did for a living to leave behind a mansion in Cincinnati and a $3 million trust fund in 1988. The 1949 Buick Roadmaster is a clue: Seats *used to* be brown leather, and he didn’t want anyone else driving it at night.

My latest feature on Japanese Breakfast and Michelle Zauner’s awe-inspiring swing through Pappy & Harriet’s in Pioneertown. #JapaneseBreakfast #MichelleZauner #ForMelancholyBrunettes #MelancholyTour #PappyAndHarriets #IndiePop #LiveMusic #DesertShow #Pioneertown #TourDates #MusicFeature

Finally watched “All That Jazz.”Always heard it was a masterpiece but didn’t think it’d be for me. Got it as a birthday gift—watched Friday night—and now it’s in my Top 10. That final TV scene with Ben Vereen & Jessica Lange? Pure #psychedeliccinema. #FilmClub #MovieNight #criterioncollection

WWE keeps betting big on celebrities in the ring, but I’m honestly still shocked at how seriously #BadBunny took it—he trained hard. But #TravisScott flopped, and now they’re setting up #JellyRoll vs. #LoganPaul? This is getting wild. Are we really doing this again?

#criterioncollection should try to make this one of their future releases. This film is more relevant now than ever. #cyberpunk #cultclassic #80smovies youtu.be/-aH39gQu-X8?...

After watching “Trainwreck: Poop Cruise,” I couldn’t decide if it was a disaster documentary or “Lord of the Flies” meets Fyre Festival on water. youtu.be/p81PafZ2d_8?... #netflix #poopcruise #documentaries
