Those who are 35+, what advice do you have for people just entering their 30s?

Had screenings where I've significantly brought down the average age of the audience.
This may be the first where I'm significantly bringing down the Kinsey score of the audience (or at least my row).

We know there was a problem with Episode 401. It should now be resolved. Apologies for the speedbump.

On this week's episode (number 395) we talk about crossovers we'd like to see (but never will) and one of the ideas was Ethan Hunt chasing down Dominic Toretto. What crazy mash ups would you like to see?

I've said many mean things about the Hollywood Foreign Press Association and their signature event, The Golden Globe Awards.
Well, I say to you here and now: we're getting nominated for this, and within five years, we'll win, or my name isn't Sarah Koenig.

This is awesome and you should read it so @mikeryan.bsky.social gets to do more of them.
So here’s a new thing. Collider reached out to me to do a series of long Q&As with notable people and after some back and forth about what it would be I said yes. The first one has just published. I spent half an hour on the phone with Barry Levinson and here’s what happened bit.ly/4kt1ss9
Dueling Robert De Niros, a Failed Pilot, and Too Many Oscars To Count — Barry Levinson Is Ready To Return to Movie Theaters
Decades after winning Best Picture with Bugsy, Barry Levinson returns to mafia movies with the long-gestating The Alto Knights hitting theaters.

Maybe you can find it in your hearts to support this wonderful human being, that is currently in the financial fight with their defects. They curate the funniest memes for us, and they are also extremely solidly antifascist. I have donated, will do so again in the near future. Please do, too.
Looks like I'm screwed: my employer just hired a new head of HR, and she's cleaning out the driftwood. I'm the driftwood. They stopped paying me back in 2022, but kept up my medical insurance over this time. Now I'll be terminated by the end of the month.
