Here's Elon playing Diablo 4, via a video by Shivon Zilis, Neuralink exec and mother of three of his children.

He played 17 hours on Christmas Eve 2023 but she said he "took breaks for family meals and Xmas presents ... Was a joy to see him having so much fun"

Choose Me (1984)

We go across the pond with Esmé Holden to talk one of Alan Rudolph's biggest independent films - we talk artifice, mood, disembodiment; the great characters intermingling in the sparse, Rudolph-ian (new word) spaces

Welcome to LA (1976)

Our Alan Rudolph coverage continues with his big debut, the first legit one. This was a delight to talk about, we had so much to talk about just leading up to it, let alone the movie itself!

in the middle of editing our Welcome to LA episode - I wanted to use some of Richard Baskin's music from the film and he had it on his website for free, but the files were broken. I opened the contact me page and sent a message, expecting no response. turns out he runs it himself!!
