The problem with film criticism is that we often judge a movie for what we WANT it to do, rather than for what it's actually DOING.
NOW! Jonny and I don't say anything more than we have to, if that, about GET SHORTY, directed by Barry Sonnenfeld and starring John Travolta, Gene Hackman, Rene Russo, and Danny DeVito. Listen as we gush over our favorite performances and dialogue! Don't be a f***ball, click the links below!

'Now You See Me: Now You Don't' (in theaters tonight) brings back the inexplicably popular franchise about obnoxious heisting magicians. My @inlander.com review:

#filmsky #moviesky
The annoying outlaw magicians return in the flashy but empty Now You See Me: Now You Don’t

ICYMI, @crookedtable.bsky.social and I dropped our latest episode of Back To Bluey, in which we spend quality time with "Bingo," and discuss the larger points it makes about coping and problem-solving. We also chat about the push-pull that (we think) makes each of our conversations so rewarding.👇

Guillermo del Toro refused to use VFX for the ship in 'Frankenstein' so they built one from scratch ⚓️

"The ship is a character ... I didn't want the audience to go, 'Oh, this is all digital' ... once you introduce that, it's like a license for people not to believe things"

New Back To Bluey! In episode 44, @crookedtable.bsky.social and I spend quality time with the youngest Heeler in "Bingo." We discuss how it highlights what we love about Bingo, the larger point it makes about coping and problem-solving, and where it fits within the show's continuity. Link below!

Our latest NostalgiaBite in time for #Halloween (ha), in which Jonny and I discuss FRIDAY THE 13TH PART 2 as "lighter" slasher fare and that director Steve Miner is much better suited for this material than Sean S. Cunningham, who couldn't direct water to look wet.

"...Ethan Edwards silhouetted in the doorframe of his family home is THE image that sums up the Western for me, of man caught between encroaching civilization & the wind frontier. John Ford's masterpiece is equally repugnant at times but is all the more mesmerizing for it."
