I am in agreement with Pete in thinking that EEPHUS might be the best film of 2025. Give this a listen.

Still find it hard to get even the most mainstream Indian cinema written about at US publications; if you’re an editor and this is of interest to you, hit me up! 🤗

I went deeper into the at-bats where Luis Ortiz is accused of throwing balls on purpose.
1) These pitches didn't just compromise games. They helped flip them. Twice.
2) It's the player props, man
3) This is NOT a case where legal sports betting improved the situation slate.com/technology/2...

enjoyed Death by Lightning, Netflix's miniseries about James Garfield's assassination by an all-time American weirdo. felt a little rushed bc it's only four episodes, but strong performances throughout, and I enjoyed learning more about an era of American history we mostly skipped over in school.

Let’s also not forget that Nakadai was the first guy who got to gush an absolute geyser of blood in a samurai movie, a happy accident that became a trope.
(this short interview with Nakadai is delightful)

it was a lot of fun talking about this awful, awful movie, even if it meant i had to watch it a second time
In our first episode of Sports Movies That Do Suck, Pete and Austen discuss what went wrong with the misbegotten Space Jam sequel, try to figure out the rules of DomBall, and ask what the hell does "Casablanca World" mean anyway? www.patreon.com/posts/sports...

i really took to Michael Jai White's new movie Trouble Man. a loving, low-budget '70s genre throwback, and Method Man is _so_ funny in it. the extremely low-budget VFX makes it all the more endearing. free with a library card on Hoopla
