I didn't have a lot of writing milestones in 2025, as my relationship with a few of my regular sites wound down after changes to their freelance policies. But I did get to write about comics for the first time thanks to the wonderful @hauntedmeg.bsky.social.

The Plague is a fantastic movie, and employs some horror techniques for immersion into the psychological torment of puberty and bullying. But it's not horror. Framing it as one makes me nervous; this film deserves an audience!

It would make a great pairing with The Novice.

When Rob Reiner was on his all-time epic run at the start of his career, he had an opportunity to read a script that was looking for a production partner, and he lost his mind for it. He decided Castle Rock had to have it, no matter what.

Before Toy Story, there was Jim Henson's The Christmas Toy.

Really happy to discover this 1986 holiday special oddly sponsored by Kraft Foods is steaming on Kanopy (also on Prime Video and Pluto TV). I'd forgotten this existed!

This is heartbreaking. Tammie always went the extra mile to not only make sure I had everything I needed for my fest coverage, but also made me feel so welcome at Sundance. She brought an exceedingly rare personal touch and will be greatly missed.
All of us at Sundance Institute are profoundly saddened by the passing of Tammie Rosen, Chief Communications Officer, following a courageous battle with cancer.
