Some time ago, I was honored to submit, for your approval, why PLANES, TRAINS AND AUTOMOBILES is the greatest Thanksgiving movie of all time. Thank you @erinkeane.bsky.social & @hanhonymous.bsky.social for the opportunity.

"Like childhood, #StrangerThings had its golden time. But we may be reminded ...that there is no going home again when it comes to certain shows," writes @mctelevision.bsky.social for @salon.com www.salon.com/2025/11/24/w...
We outgrew "Stranger Things" years ago
With the cast no longer fitting their child-sized roles, it's past time we all moved on from Hawkins, Indiana.

Watching the penultimate #PhysicalAsia ep w/ the Impenetrable Fortress challenge, and a) it doesn't seem like #SouthKorea used their advantage at all and b) surprised that they didn't foresee a strategy beyond pure physicality. They've been strategic before ... why stop now?? (no spoilers pls)

Headshot of a young Japanese idol in a black jacket, black shirt and black tie with a black pocket square. His short hair partially covers his eyes Screen grab of Ren Meguro statement about auditioning for and joining FX series Shogun Season 2 Shōgun season two,” said Meguro. “When I streamed Shōgun on Disney+ last year, I was profoundly moved by the series' unique and grand portrayal of Japan, which felt different from past portrayals. As a Japanese person, I felt a compelling urge to be part of this groundbreaking production. I started learning more about the production team, exploring Hiroyuki Sanada's vision and his long-standing dedication, and reading various articles about Shōgun. This year, the opportunity to audition came my way. I submitted my footage and participated in auditions. Now, my dream has become a reality, and it truly felt like a dream come true. For the past year, I have constantly envisioned myself on the set of Shōgun, bringing my character to life. I am committed to honoring the legacy that so many have built before me and to carefully shaping the role entrusted to me in this remarkable series. I can't wait for everyone to see the release of Shōgun season two and to share in this incredible journey with us. Thank you and please look forward to Shōgun season two.”

I really can't watch serial killer content - true crime or dramatized - with only a few exceptions, but certainly not the #Monster anthology series. @mctelevision.bsky.social hits upon why for @salon.com www.salon.com/2025/10/29/o...
Our serial killer obsession might be making us less human
Devouring shows about Ed Gein and John Wayne Gacy reflects our tendency to justify the violence we do to each other.

Now that #KPopDemonHunters & #Sinners will be rereleased in theaters for Halloween, it's time to do that double feature if you can AND dress up! (Note: Sinners will only be on IMAX in 6 states) Similar themes & killer soundtracks -- most likely will be Oscar contenders www.salon.com/2025/07/11/s...
