We have Hollywood Reporter Critic @ajhan.bsky.social back with us to discuss the witchery, dessert preferences and, yes, grimoires, of PRACTICAL MAGIC 2. Then we have a movie quiz about films with two sisters! #filmsky maximumfun.org/episodes/max...

These assholes have shit on the concept of causality in everything from systemic racism to no-fault divorce (not to mention unnecessarily sexualizing things like drag queen story hours) so OF COURSE this is their take on something that IS sexual and is NOT victimhood.

COYOTE VS. ACME is out at last & @davidkittredge.bsky.social (whose doc BOORMAN AND THE DEVIL is finally hitting theaters too!) joins us to talk about it!. Then we'll name some lawsuits that the characters of other films might have on their hands. #filmsky #kevinavery maximumfun.org/episodes/max...

My first post-college personal email address was gloriasteinem@aol because we used to have funny/fake names as our handles... and then one day her team cc'd me on her travel itinerary and I had to tell them I was just a poser asshole and changed it immediately. RIP email sister/genuine icon.

Better idea: instead of bandaids, put your whole ass & balls behind Medicare For All & decouple health insurance from unions. Huge reason production has left US is that every other country provides health care for its workers, making movies & shows wildly cheaper.

I am in strong agreement with the President. Congress should immediately take up and pass a federal film tax incentive to bring back these good-paying jobs that we've lost to other countries.

Love when a That Guy actor pops up onscreen... shout out to a couple summer 2026 entries, Patrick Fischler in Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma and PJ Byrne in both The End of Oak Street and Coyote vs Acme. Get yours, fellas.

amazing stuff

Finally an outlet to discuss my years working at Chi-Chi’s Mexican Restaurant and my fundamental belief that all people should have to work at least one restaurant job early in their lives. Also talked about the film (dug it!). @katiewalshstx.bsky.social remains the best!

Maximum Film!@maximumfilmpodcast.bsky.social · 4w ago

Our friend @katiewalshstx.bsky.social joins us to talk about TONY, the not-quite-a-biopic, more-like-a-fictionalized-origin-story from director Matt Johnson. We talk about working in kitchens, prickly protagonists, celebrity origin stories, and more. Enjoy! #filmsky maximumfun.org/episodes/max...

Check out MAINTENANCE ART (now streaming) a doc about Mierle Laderman Ukeles, the first artist-in-residence at NYC’s Department of Sanitation in 1977; her work sought to redefine domestic and civic labor (cleaning, cooking, garbage collection, etc) as performance art to demonstrate its value.

more places should have artists-in-residence. like there should be a residency where you live on a particular train for a month. there should be an oil rig residency, an arctic research station residency. maybe a residency at a zoo

We've got Andrea Subissati, editor of @ruemorguemag.bsky.social, in to discuss Jane Schoenbrun's hotly anticipated (at least, in our corner of the internet) 3rd feature, TEENAGE SEX AND DEATH AT CAMP MIASMA!

This is a good way to write about the anti-trans sentiment popping up around the WNBA lately, imo. It's gross and bad, and people should say that plainly!

WNBA Suspends Seattle Storm Minority Owner For Being Rude To Transphobic Shitheads | Defector

On Tuesday night, a small group of weirdos held an anti-trans rally outside of the Seattle Storm’s home arena. The occasion for their gathering was a game against the Indiana Fever and bench player So...

There are many reasons I wish this asshat wasn’t president and that long list includes not getting to fully enjoy how hilarious this is. He ends this bit with “he was a tough cookie, darling”. COMEDY GOLD

Trump takes issue with the Lindsey Graham eulogy he's reading: "Virtually everyone liked Lindsey. Well, not everybody. But it sounds good. I have to be honest. I have to veer from this for a second."

Such a fun podcast! It also led to me filming my laptop to capture this moment of cinematic excellence. Jefferson in Paris is a mess but at least we now know the way all men should prove their love: leaping headfirst over a random ass stack of logs in a forest. GET ON IT, FELLAS.

This birthright ruling is why I just refuse to tolerate all the Democrat garment rending over NY voters choosing progressive candidates. They are incapable of governing in this moment. The politics of appeasement and centrism gets us to a 5-4 decision on the constitutional question.

I brought up Man of Steel while discussing Disclosure Day’s attempts to consider the common man’s theological response to an extra terrestrial presence, and that may/may not haunt me. @jamellebouie.net was insightful, per usual!

humans have known how to construct a shoulder seam for thousands of years, but with AI, we are unlocking untold new ways to fuck it up

Teams have to wash and steam #WorldCup shirts to remove shoulder bulges. "Nike boasted about the use of 'computational design'… driven by performance data that incorporated elements of AI to work alongside the company’s designers as they crafted the kits." How could they even ship these?! Shame.

I cried watching every single Steve James film in preparing for this draft, because we so often fail our vulnerable and yet humanity can still have such tremendous moments of grace.

Pratt is trying to divide the left vote. Don't fall for it. Be strategic and vote for Nithya. Also, you do not have to hand it to someone calling people zombies and demonizing your neighbors

How the shit does Spencer Pratt have any kind of traction? Based on the math of voters being 18+, these people have all lived through the extended nightmare and chaos of being governed by an inexperienced, self-aggrandizing reality star. HOW THE SHIT.

There are so many bullshit things happening these days, and this bullshit thing (SUCH a bullshit thing!) has a website where you can voice your rageful disdain.

One good thing that entertainment journalists covering The Odyssey can do is never to ask Nyong'o, Page, or Nolan about this. When a prominent racist and transphobe says something racist and transphobic, go make his life miserable and leave his targets alone. They have nothing to defend or explain.

Elon Musk is criticizing the casting of both Oscar-winning actor Lupita Nyong’o and transgender actor Elliot Page in director Christopher Nolan’s upcoming blockbuster “The Odyssey.”
