For Movies Past And Present, host @stanfordclark.bsky.social and I say plenty of things that might upset MCU #SpiderMan fans. For example, how SPIDER-MAN: HOMECOMING tries to ape the comedies of John Hughes without understanding the interiority of the characters that makes those films so complex.👇
My friend @thegirlynerd.bsky.social and I say plenty of things about Sam Raimi's #SpiderMan trilogy that might make non-Raimi fans upset. For example, how Mary Jane Watson is one of the most three-dimensional love interests in a CBM, but you wouldn't know that if you're a toxic asshole.👇
My friend @thegirlynerd.bsky.social and I say plenty of things about Sam Raimi's #Spider-Man trilogy that might make non-Raimi fans upset. For example, how bright colors and dynamic camerawork help sell the idea of comic book aesthetics and action better than 99% of superhero films today.👇
My main memory of DAYS OF THUNDER is that it was the first film in DTS to play the Chinese, and when we went opening day, it absolute fucking destroyed the center channel speakers in the theater. Like literally ruined them and they had to cancel a few screenings. Good times!
Attention, webheads! I joined the latest Movies Past And Present with host/podcasting pal @stanfordclark.bsky.social, for a discussion of MCU #SpiderMan and how the ups and downs of Tom Holland's tenure as Peter Parker led to BRAND NEW DAY's amazing, spectacular run at the box office. Links below!

There are few things on this planet as funny as Tim Curry's facial expressions when he's fighting Kermit The Frog in MUPPET TREASURE ISLAND. #RIP, you scoundrel.
Why wasn't Hitchcock more appreciated in his day? Dana posed this question on our latest #episode discussing the 80th anniversary of Notorious (1946). Check it out. #movie #classic #podcast #thriller #appreciation @tj3duncan.bsky.social @dwlundberg.bsky.social @danawduncan.bsky.social

I knew her as Dot from A BUG'S LIFE, as the little spitfire who could pick a fight with Denzel Washington in REMEMBER THE TITANS, and most importantly as Claire Bennett from HEROES ("Save the cheerleader, save the world!"). Damn, 36 is far too young. #RIP, Hayden.
A fantastic conversation about a fantastic score from one of the greatest films of all time.

Rob Reiner's STAND BY ME turns 40 today. Jonny and covered it a ways back for NostalgiaCast, and it's always funny how we tend to forget it exists until we actually watch it again, and we're reminded that it's one of the very best Stephen King adaptations. Anyways, enjoy:👇 youtu.be/i_l4fOwId9U?...

I was honored to join @stanfordclark.bsky.social for Movies Past And Present, in which we rank our Top 5 Steven Spielberg films of 2001-2026. From MINORITY REPORT to DISCLOSURE DAY, we chat about Spielberg's late-career classics, and how he's fallen out of favor with modern moviegoers. Links 👇!
You wanted to tussle? Let's tussle, as NostalgiaCast sets its sights on OUT OF SIGHT, directed by Steven Soderbergh and starring George Clooney and Jennifer Lopez. Listen as we discuss the megawatt performances and finishing choices that pretty much defined Soderbergh's career.👇

New NostalgiaCast! Jonny and I kick off our 1998 retrospective with author R.S. Craddock and FEAR AND LOATHING IN LAS VEGAS, Terry Gilliam's polarizing adaptation of the Hunter S. Thompson novel. But does the movie give us the ultimate high, or the lowest of lows? Links below!

New Back To Bluey! Listen as @crookedtable.bsky.social and I go for a ride on the much-coveted "Granny Mobile" and discuss how it builds off the grannies' previous appearances, why it serves as a culmination of Muffin's arc, and what it says about dealing with challenging kids (and adults). Link 👇!
I was honored to join @swoproductions.bsky.social for a discussion of Nolan's BATMAN BEGINS, a formative film for me in many ways, and an important staple in superhero cinema. Have "better" CBMs been made since 2005? No doubt. But its influence has informed so many of them. Links in the replies!
