Kerry after watching the first "Super Troopers" for the first time: "I guess there's a reason I have no idea who any of these guys are."

Huh. 4 hours long? Interesting. Welp. Guess I better get it started.

Thrilled that this short film is now available online. Watch it, then read about it, then watch it again with the director's commentary. "Warsha" is great!!!

For his latest Short Films in Focus Column, Collin Souter sings the praises of WARSHA:

Started something new today. Reviewing blu-rays and spotlighting a movie that deserves a blu-ray (re)release. I've always enjoyed doing this on a podcast, so I thought I'd give this video format thingee a try. Like, subscribe, enjoy! :) Thanks! www.youtube.com/watch?v=V6DK...

O Blu-ray, Where Art Thou? Episode 1: A LITTLE PRINCESS (1995), plus new BD/4K discs from July, 2026

Among the many things I admire about Disney's THE BLACK HOLE is the fact that there's a 2.5-minute, blank-screen overture that is part of the film's 98-minute runtime.

ONE MONTH FROM TODAY! I'll be hosting a screening of the greatest concert film of all time, STOP MAKING SENSE. Let's pack the place! Wednesday, 9/2 @ 7pm at Elk Grove Cinema. I'll be doing a discussion afterwards. Come on out! www.classiccinemas.com/f/stop-makin...

Look twice before a “festival” starts following you.

I started getting followed by some "film festivals" and "writing festivals" and thought "oh, these are cool!" Then I looked a little closer. They're all part of a network that preys on writers, charging us for reviews, and feeding our stuff into slop generators. So I made a list.👋🏻🖕🏻😠

I have lots of memories of seeing Glen Hansard and following his career from his days with The Frames in 1998 until now. I spent the day with those memories and his music. I wrote about it here. www.collinsouter.com/fbfglenhansard

"We're all pushing things up mountains": Remembering Glen Hansard

Glen Hansard was never at a loss for words, but I sure as hell am this morning.

Last night, I crossed off two more blind spots. We went to see Eric Rohmer's MY NIGHT AT MAUD'S at the Music Box, which felt like the first two "Before" movies rolled into one film (in a good way). Then, I stayed up and finally watched Jean Schlesingré's HONKY TONK FREEWAY. Movies are awesome.

WokeGrok will be making a more historically accurate version of EBENEEZER by casting a Black "man" in the role. It will be out before Christmas '26.

I’m currently watching a movie in which John Ratzenberger plays an Arabian thief. Musk would unironically love that idea.

New episode! @nickdigilio.bsky.social joins us to talk about Renny Harlin's action extravaganza "The Long Kiss Goodnight" and why Harlin is one of his favorite directors. Nick also shares an exclusive update about his show! Fun episode. Fun movie. Enjoy! www.nowplayingnetwork.net/christmasmov...

Some Christmas movie podcast prep, followed by a recent Warner Archive blu-ray release that had two shorts from 1934. Sometimes that's the best part of a WA disc. I want a whole disc of f'ed up shorts from the 30s with a "play all" feature. My evening would be set. #LetterboxdFriday #LastFourWatched

Sam Neill championed Indigenous Filmmakers and was an activist for the sovereignty of Māori whenua, as a local Icon of New Zealand cinema. His kindness and talent will be greatly missed from the big screen. Condolences to his whole whānau. Rest in love local Legend. Xx ❤️❤️😔

Still can't get the image out of my head of two Jabba The Hutts being flushed down a whirlpool. That image will stay with me forever.

NEW EPISODE! 'Tis July, so we decided to talk about a movie that has the words "Christmas" and "July" in the title. Peter Sobczynski joins us to talk about this wonderful Preston Sturges non-Christmas comedy, as well as some new blu-rays. Enjoy! www.nowplayingnetwork.net/christmasmov...

Christmas Movies Actually - 164: Christmas in July (1940)

Of all the Christmas films that have been covered on this show that feature little to no actual Christmas in it, the Preston Sturges comedy "Christmas In July" has the least amount, yet it still gets ...

Yeah, bit it's really about trauma.

My preferred way of saying a movie from the '80s or '90s is too long: "This didn't need to be two laserdiscs."

Seized with the sudden urge to watch Furiosa and Fury Road after tonight's screening. Not sure why. Just something I'd like.

This is just in the last two days. Screwball Hitchcock, unbearable kiss-ass doc, Michael Keaton double feature after talking about the awful "Jack Frost" on our podcast. #LetterboxdFriday #LastFourWatched

Does everyone have a text buddy for when you-know-what happens? Make a pact with a trusted friend. They text you, you text them, as soon as it's verified as truth. We're not all on the socials all day, so it's just a back-up. I plan on having a text buddy.

I’m seeing other physical media nerds like myself doing a Pride flag with their collection, so why not? (Finding a good violet one is pretty tough)

#letterboxdfriday #lastfourwatched #letterboxd Christmas Movies Actually podcast prep, weekly Hitchcock project (good week!), and catching up with two from this year. Not too shabby.

Our latest episode is about the beloved THE SHOP AROUND THE CORNER, starring Jimmy Stewart and Margaret Sullivan. Nell Minow joins us to talk about one of Ernst Lubitsch's best films and how it holds up today as one of the best rom-coms of all time. Enjoy! www.nowplayingnetwork.net/christmasmov...

Thinking about the J6ers getting millions and how stupid they'd be with that money. Careless, moronic spending resulting in instant bankruptcy and/or having dumb relatives carrying out half-baked plans to steal the money and leaving a trail of idiot blood in their wake. Peacock series writes itself.

I hate to say it, but there's a not-very-good-at-all Star Wars movie coming out this week. My review: www.collinsouter.com/fbfstar-wars...

Whoa! We almost forgot to post about our latest episode. It's a Christmas movie we quite enjoy. TURBULENCE (1997) stars Ray Liotta, Lauren Holly and Brendan Gleason in Die Hard/Speed/Home Alone... on an airplane. With lots of Hallmark decorations. Enjoy! www.nowplayingnetwork.net/christmasmov...

Christmas Movies Actually: 160 - Turbulence (1997)

"Oh, you're a film critic? So, what movie should I go see?" "The Sheep Detectives. You should go see The Sheep Detectives. Did I blink?"

The future is now.

Prime with ads. Just how Kubrick intended.

Disappointed that none of the Movies In the Park line-ups in Chicago are showing the the restoration of "The Devils."
