The only film canon that really matters is yours. What movies do you keep in your hip pocket to share with people? Each week @drewmcweeny.com, @craigceravolo.bsky.social, @aundriaparker.bsky.social & friends empty their pockets & bare their souls.
Kind words from an amazing writer. Thanks, @craigwallwork.bsky.social!

I think this week's episode of THE HIP POCKET is the new record-holder for our longest episode. It's a wild conversation with the director of the #1 movie in America, and I can't wait to drop it on you on Friday!

Thanks to @akelacooper.bsky.social, I’m doing a birthday double feature of two of my favorite movies, that also happen to be research for an upcoming episode of @itsthehippocket.bsky.social.

The Hip Pocket is BACK with Doughboy Nick Wiger, whose name I’ve been singing like Kendrick’s “A minorrrrrrrrrr” since we recorded. He brought three anime movies that were entirely new to your girl.

Stick it in your ears! (Respectfully.)

This week, WE’RE BACK! (Not A DINOSAUR’S STORY, though.)

To the detriment of our sleep schedules, work deadlines, and personal relationships: we solemnly swear we watch every film we talk about on THP.

Season 3 coming soon! 💥
I stopped listening to a podcast when one of the hosts said “I didn’t watch the movie we’re reviewing but here’s my thoughts based on the trailer and things I’ve read”

What a great piece! Feels like something worthy of a longer conversation. 😉
It's #DisabilityPride Month and every Friday I'm talking about a movie from my upcoming book POPCORN DISABILITIES. This week, I'm sharing my love for 1978's COMING HOME and remembering a time when Jon Voight was a good actor.

Some people like to say there is no such thing as a perfect movie. They are wrong.

First I listened to @itsthehippocket.bsky.social with @thejoelynch.bsky.social. Then I watched Joe’s 311 - Time Bomb. Now all I need is a good @fthismovie.bsky.social #JuNeSpLOItaTIoN calendar day to watch SHORT TIME with Dabney Coleman, Teri Garr & Matt Frewer and I’ll have hit the movie trifecta.

USA iconoclastic actor/director Dennis Hopper was BOTD in 1936 & died in 2010 at 74. He was married 5x & said to be one of Hollywood's most notorious drug addicts, which is saying a lot. His greatest films as a director was "Out of the Blue" (1980) followed by "Easy Rider" (1969)
