Excited to say that I have an essay featured in this release of The Stunt Man which goes into the history of and breaks down the myth of the stunt performer in cinema
UK: Our second Transmission release, Richard Rush’s cult classic THE STUNT MAN, is also available for pre-order, including a feature-length making-of doc, new audio commentary, interview with stuntman Chuck Bail, and heaps of archival interviews.

Happy Halloween!
I went long with Freddy himself, Robert Englund, for Letterboxd. Surreal to have him do the voice at you. You can read it below. Yes, I ask him about killing Burt Reynolds onscreen, don’t worry.

This year has basically been all about willing all the shit I've ever wanted to do into existence for myself. Can't wait to share this sometime down the line.

An honor of a lifetime to chat with Radu Jude, one of my favorite filmmakers of all time. I was left unsatisfied by his thoughts on AI but so moved on his take that TikTok has become the tool for modern folklore. A walking contradiction and I couldn't have hoped for anything less. Read it below.
"I envy how, if you see one second of Wes Anderson, you say, 'Oh, that’s a Wes Anderson movie. Of course.' I’m not able to do that." Radu Jude has a wild conversation with @brndnstrssng.bsky.social about Dracula and expanding the boundaries of cinema:
“Cinema Can Be Bigger”: Radu Jude on Dracula, AI, and One Battle After Another
Radu Jude flashes on the screen with an AI-generated background of a machine gun-wielding Donald Trump riding a giant kitten. What one is meant to make of this is unclear, but as ever, cinema’s greate...

Few filmmakers mean more to my sensibilities than Larry Fessenden. Never would’ve dreamed I’d get to write some words about one of his best let alone spend a Friday night with him helping out at his signing. Always meet your heroes even though he’d bust my balls for saying that

INCREDIBLE interview between two of my favorite people! I cried when Tina talked about what she would hear her Dad saying in her head during times of stress. Please read Brandon's legitimately insightful interview of Tina Romero for the release of Queens of the Dead!
As her wonderful debut Queens of the Dead hits theaters this weekend, I interviewed fellow Pittsburgher Tina Romero about the film, following in her father's footsteps and bringing the Zombie into the future. Read it here:

I really liked the film Alpha directed by Julia Ducournau :)
Hated out of Cannes, Loved by Me, well worth the trip to the Bronx to see it in one of the two theaters it’s being hidden away in

I think Barbarian is fine, often very fun but it's so much more free and alive than Weapons ever is. A deeply self conscious film that's "about" a whole lot, never interested enough in any of it and at its best when Cregger lets go. Wish he'd just commit the the latter.
