Though the regular season of Final Cut The Podcast wrapped early this year, I recently did a special interview episode with filmmaker Rolfe Kanefsky about a documentary he is currently working on and a film of his out on streaming now.

The Write Off Podcast
Has wrapped production
On its initial season for 2025.

A 5 episode season was planned
But promotional commitments

Outside The NFL - my former podcast- is now coming to Bluesky as a section here on this page.
Summarized talk and analysis
On the varied contests in the NFL

I reviewed Roadhouse
For my Retro Review
Newsletter on Substack this year.

I think Roadhouse
Though a success
At the time
And a cult hit now
Is overlooked as an action film.

It's actually a decent action flick
It has all the right basic story
Components plus an intriguing
Protagonist.
