Instagram recommended for me a viral post of a Mira Nair quote about leaving photography behind for movie making, with thousands of likes. And no attribution, when it was from my own @vulture.com interview with her. 🥴 A reminder that you can read it here: www.vulture.com/2022/04/mira...

Best films of the 21st century ballot and it's M. Night Shyamalan's TRAP 10xs

I’ve drafted multiple ballots in the last couple of days and my list included several comedies, including a teen movie and an animated film, and then came to the same conclusion as Linda. It ain’t worth The Discourse™️

SQUIRREL! No hot takes here, just facts. :-) www.npr.org/2025/06/24/1...

Far too daunting to submit my reader's ballot for that NYT 'best movies of the 21st Century' list, so instead I ranked Pixar features. Our PCHH episode revealing listeners' top picks drops ... very soon! boxd.it/IckkG

Seriously reconsidering whether I'll be able to watch TRAITORS S4 if Michael Rapaport doesn't get booted off real quick www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/t...

Actually scratch that, it’s totally a movie — basically BABY BOY from Yvette’s perspective

Maybe not a movie, but a really juicy TV episode: youtu.be/2L7IFkRaGhY?...

We’ll have an episode on this next week, but in the meantime, here’s my full review of MATERIALISTS, a movie that made ask, among many other questions, “Has Celine Song ever been broke?” www.npr.org/2025/06/13/n... Review: ‘Materialists’ isn’t quite a romance worth swooning over : NPR

Everything’s embarrassing

Also, you can and should order a hard copy of SEEN — 008 here! Features an abundance of great writing and gorgeous artwork: shop.blackstarfest.org/collections/... Seen – BlackStar Projects

Elsewhere recently, I had the pleasure of pondering Nina Simone's seeming omnipresence in Hollywood, and whether she's caught in mixtape purgatory, for SEEN. www.blackstarfest.org/seen/read/is...

The Criterion release of THE WIZ dropped this week, and so did my essay about how it remains a simultaneously dark and joyful oddity nearly 50 years later: www.criterion.com/current/post...

If you're a film critic looking to go to TIFF this year, you should apply for this grant, which we at the Chicago Film Critics Association are helping dole out. (TLDR it's that rarest of things: money for critics) editorial.rottentomatoes.com/article/rt-c...

My taste in Beach Boys tracks is hella basic -- why yes, I do consider "God Only Knows" to be one of the most gorgeous songs ever written. But whatever. This is probably my other all-time favorite: www.youtube.com/watch?v=bQWT...
