It might be a good time to check-in on the complicated relationship between streaming and theatres, the delicate balance that exists between the two, and why it’s not all Netflix and chill.

This week's episode of The Backdrop is now available from @darrenmooney.bsky.social!

Feels like 6 months, let alone two years!
This was a really emotional, personal and reflective script for me to write. @ericweichhart.com did a great job of grabbing all kinds of great archive material to bring it all together in the edit.

On the eve of our second anniversary of Second Wind, here's a really personal story.

The production value on Second Wind video essays by @thejenna.bsky.social is insane. I can't believe it's 2025 and here I am being enthralled by ✨horse armor✨ discourse. You'd think by now it's beating a dead, uh, you know.

New episode of The Backdrop up at @secondwindgroup.com!

Where I look at “TRON: Ares” and the literal emptiness of the modern summer blockbuster, where urban landscapes are reduced to big empty LEGO sets to be smashed on film.

I get asked a lot about how to break into the Soulslike genre, so I finally made a video that's a bit of a beginner's guide to starting to play them.

Less focused on mechanics, rather the mindset needed to get into them.

Hope you find it useful!
