Famous People Talked to Me: Medium Build.

 

So I got to go long with Nick Carpenter from Medium Build, and it's the most fun I've had doing an interview in a bit. This was an utter delight, and I hope you get some of that joy in the reading of it. And check out his most recent album Country and also The Marietta EP.

At the movies: Queer.

 Take a soak in some primal gay psychedelia- it'll be good for you.



Festival Wrapup 2024: The New York Film Festival, NewFest, Brooklyn Horror Film Festival

 Bits and pieces from an epic festival rondelay this fall in New York. A lot gets covered, and it's worth the dive.

At the movies: The Best Christmas Pageant Ever.

 

So, I actually really enjoyed The Best Christmas Pageant Ever. In fact, it was one of the last things I saw before the election, so it may well be one of the last things I truly enjoyed period. Also, the 1983 version is out there... Shhh.

At the movies: The Substance.

 Y'all, The Substance. There's nothing else quite like it out there.



Famous People Talked To Me: Tim Murray

 

I got to talk with Tim Murray about his current show Witches, which is a remarkable piece of music, comedy, memoir, and phantasy, and I recommend it (and whatever he does next) highly.
