On January 3rd, 2025, as President of the American Catholic Historical Association, I interviewed Martin Scorsese and bestowed upon him the ACHA Distinguished Service Award, at St. Patrick’s Old Cathedral, his boyhood parish. A wonderful conversation with the most significant filmmaker of our time.

Great evening interviewing Martin Scorsese tonight at a special @achahistory.bsky.social event, held at St. Patrick's Old Cathedral. Listening to him share his reflections on what this place meant to him was remarkable.

Our Fragile Juggernaut episode on labor in World War II is here, with the legendary @nelsonlichtenstein.bsky.social. What happens when you get full employment, price controls, mass migration to cities, and the integration of labor into the total war mobilization? podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/h...

“Don’t ask a dying man to lie his soul into hell!” Sam Levene to Ava Gardner in Robert Siodmak’s remarkable The Killers. Great line. Great film, part of the Siodmak retrospective at Film at Lincoln Center.
