I shared some thoughts on my 2025 year in film
Nine of our writers—@nothingunfinished.bsky.social, Lewis Peterson, Edwanike Harbour, Sara Batkie, @jesseraub.bsky.social, Lance Li, @drboffa.bsky.social, Jason Fuhrman, and Hanna Kohn—offered "one movie meditation after another" for the year 2025, processing these trying times through cinema.

I had a great exchange with fellow Tone Madison writer Sara Batkie about Wes Anderson’s latest film
"...He believes in the power of art on its own terms, and not as something that can save us but redeem us."

Before the mid-year mark, @drboffa.bsky.social and Sara Batkie revive our "Cinemails" column. The two writers share a sharp dialogue on Wes Anderson's latest adventure, THE PHOENICIAN SCHEME.
