I wrote about Manhunter being Michael Mann's greatest contribution to television, and how we can thank him and William Petersen, who later starred on CSI, for popularizing the forensic investigator archetype www.avclub.com/manhunter-an...

CSI can trace its origins to pop culture's original forensic file, Manhunter

People think "Hollywood" is rich and famous. The reality? Film and TV is a national industry. It's a blue collar industry. And it is an industry free fall. My latest for @newrepublic.com on how the Paramount merger would crush blue collar workers who can not afford it newrepublic.com/article/2136...

There’s a Blue-Collar Hollywood—and the Paramount Merger Will Kill It

Hollywood isn’t all glamour. It’s thousands of line workers. And a Paramount takeover of Warner will make their lives even more precarious.

Absolutely one of the best films I've seen so far this year, & all the more astounding given it's a young director's first feature. Don't miss this one now that it's finally come to streaming.
