Emerald Fennell’s “Wuthering Heights” is a disastrous film of dulled desires, strange optics, and mediocre craft. Out this week: joysauce.com/the-dull-des...
The dull desires of Emerald Fennell’s ‘Wuthering Heights’

On our recent episode on M Night Shyamalan's Old, special guest @dylanroth.bsky.social says that he's not a bad movie guy. Why would we he watch a bad movie when he hasn't seen every Mike Nichols movie? In response, here's a list of movies we've covered that are better than Mike Nichols movies.

Do I have publishing/agent connections on here?
My wife is currently querying her first book (women's fiction with a literary slant) and is seeking representation. Get in my DMs if you want her to send you an email!
I have read it several times and the book is incredible! She will be scooped soon

It’s wild that the Big Game used to be worth watching just for the commercials and commercials are so awful now that I wouldn’t even put the game on just as background radiation because I might accidentally catch some hack cameo-driven brand slop

Whenever I am down on myself I try to step back and look at how many of my lifelong ambitions I am currently living out. I am a writer, a musician, a broadcaster, a composer, a voice actor, and a parent, all things that Kid Me wanted to be when he grew up. But one day I should make some money
