I loved Keeper, Osgood Perkins not so subtle nod to David Lynch

Horror Beat: KEEPER sees Osgood Perkins get even weirder
Keeper is Osgood Perkins at its most Lynchian. It's a story about women in trouble, where ghosts and madness are hard to tell apart.

It was an honor to write Tatsuya Nakadai’s obituary at The Beat. My favorite movie actor and one of the great actors in Japanese cinema, maybe the greatest.

Obituary: TATSUYA NAKADAI, star of Yojimbo and Ran
Tatsuya Nakadai, best known to American audiences as Unosuku the samurai with a gun in Yojimbo, passed away at the age of 92 on November 8th.

Reversal of Fortune, in which Alan Dershowitz is presented as an idealistic absolutist and the only major character with principles, sure does play differently now

Still can’t believe this happened but I got to talk to Geof Darrow. We talked about Bourbon Thret, Asian films that inspired him and his thought process on storytelling. It was a fantastic conversation.

Tatsuya Nakadai passed away at 92. 92 is a very full life but dear lord, it still feels like a huge loss.

I love the Athens, GA comics folks. Some of the best folks you’ll ever meet and some incredible cartoonists. Happy to write about them and of course, Patrick forever.
