What are THE BEST KNOCKOFF MOVIES EVER? Film critics @williambibbiani.bsky.social and @witneyseibold.bsky.social present their picks in an all-new IRON LIST podcast! Only one of these four classic knockoffs made the list! Any idea which one...? redcircle.com/shows/critic...

Watching 5th episode! People like that "only one bed" trope? Well, there's only one bed! Darby and Joan (not married, just met a week ago, It was a carcrash!) will share it! Romance! And solving crimes, of course!

Just noticed this article about new cozy mysteries! www.goodreads.com/blog/show/28...

I'm keeping this at 40 books, but when I have thought of 20 PI novels that aren't on this list, I might do a new list! But if you want to read private eye novels, I have a list for you!

New episode! bit.ly/4j8jHSd #filmsky 📽️

Square Roots Podcast Vanessa is playing an old sci-fi adventure game! The Journeyman Project 3: Legacy of Time! Square Roots Podcast Matt and Square Roots Podcast Johnny are watching and commenting along! Square Roots Podcast, streaming on Wednesdays! www.youtube.com/live/SwR74PG...

Locked! Hollywood remake of 4x4! Bill Skarsgard wears a pink hoodie, but this guy wears a pink T-shirt! www.imdb.com/title/tt8561...

I'm all for burly guy representation! In a romance novel! Looking good! My Big Fat Fake Marriage!

Here's my recs for private eye reading! Mostly hard-boiled! Some are classics, some are not. All have something to offer! Just read! Or if you are a writer, read and then start to think what would your own PI novel/series be like! 40 PI novels, most of them start of a series!

So I heard from a friend that the Kobo e-book edition of "Dog’s Don’t Break Hearts" did, in fact, go live today (the paperback and hardcover editions were supposed to, but then *gestures at the state of the world*). But! If you’re an e-book reader? Ta-da! Queer Hi-Lo is a go! #WritingCommunity 💙📚🏳️‍🌈🐺

The Big Combo, and 6 other mystery/suspense/crime films directed by Joseph H. Lewis, is on my list about older (released before 1960) suspense/mystery/adventure films! Here's an article about it!

HEY BLUESKY: Today is the North American release date for When the Moon Hits Your Eye, my latest novel, and also I am on the road for a two-week US book tour! Please buy my book and/or come to see me on the road! All the details about both are at the link. whatever.scalzi.com/2025/03/25/w...

Are you a fan of WHITE LOTUS? Amble Press author Mark B. Perry wrote this fabulous VANITY FAIR piece about creator, writer & director Mike White & a great TV show they created together. Read the article here: loom.ly/nHUiFFA #BookSky #AuthorSky #WhiteLotusSky

The binoculars are for bird watching! www.imdb.com/title/tt8740...

See! Plenty of birds! Watch The Residence! On Netflix! bsky.app/profile/kevi...

If you've never listened to Deck the Hallmark because you don't watch Hallmark movies, check out our review of Netflix's Carry-On. The movie and the review are both doozies. #filmsky 📽️ @deckthehallmark.bsky.social

Hey, Sniper G.R.I.T.! Very cartoony sniper action! The villains are a cult dressed solely in green! And this is just the second most recent Sniper movie! Now on Netflix (at least for me)! www.imdb.com/title/tt2848...

I missed this for my playlist! Men in Bars! By Japanese Breakfast and Jeff Bridges! The actor, I assume! At least he sounds like an older, experienced fella! And Jeff Bridges, the actor, has released a couple of records, it seems! youtu.be/BqrcgC47QTo?...

Pop This 45! Starts with total euphoria! Then from that high, there is an eventual coming down! And then there's an eventual recovery! And it ends with a POP! open.spotify.com/playlist/3HP...

New music weekly on the blog, Tidal and Spotify. Featuring Jolly Jumpers, Sharp Pins, Brian D'Addario, Jeffrey Lewis, Lala Salama, Macie Stewart, Kaikki turhat haaveet, Liz Overs, Eliza Niemi, Exploding Flowers, Heat Manager, Gabi Hartmann, David Ramirez, Will Johnson, Fonteyn, Scott Hirsch..

Trying to grow this pack, if y’all have recommendations, let me know! go.bsky.app/Dk4GNY9

The gays are bad! All of them! The Magpie Murders! Solid British murder mystery! Continuing the cases of one Atticus Pund and a book editor, whose name I don't know and won't check! First was The Magpie Murders! Has it charms, but... bad, villain-y gays! www.imdb.com/title/tt2631...

Hey, a J-pop group with plenty of moves! All that probably exhausting dance practice paying off! youtu.be/OwR7AGIdLgk?...

Here's a starter pack for reading private eye fiction! I'll post my own take (a GoodReads list) at some point! Even though PI fiction is my favorite genre, there's plenty I haven't read, of course!

The Residence was good! Soon everyone will be talking about how good The Residence is! It is a Shondaland production! It's set at the White House! It's more about the service staff than the president! There are familiar actors, there might be some new talent, too! The main detective is A CHARACTER!

Hey, a historical romspense (yes, still trying to make it happen)! A copper and a graphologist after a murderer and falling in love! Coming this May! A Summer read, then! KJ Charles!

The Residence! New Netflix comedic murder mystery! Kylie Minogue is there! She sings! www.imdb.com/title/tt8740...

And Bryan Brown is still detecting, in Darby and Joan! Here he is a PI, but as Darby he is a retired police detective! bsky.app/profile/pete...

Hey, a new mystery show! Darby and Joan! With Bryan Brown (F/X, Cocktail) and Greta Scacchi (Shattered, Bodies)! www.imdb.com/title/tt1544...

Looking forward to Luke Macfarlane's new Hallmark+ reality show, which will center his wordworking skills. #tvsky 📺

I read Kills Well with Others (Killers of a Certain Age, #2) by Deanna Raybourn

Oh hey, look at that! Now available on Kobo for pre-order… My newest queer Hi-Lo YA. Beck has learned his lesson: boys break hearts. Also they completely implode your friend groups and destroy your self-confidence. New plan? Dogs. Dogs don’t break hearts. #BookSky #QueerBooks 💙📚🏳️‍🌈

Hallmark's Mystery Island is now a series! The second installment, Winner Takes All, was just released! If you haven't watched the first you could watch that, too! And, of course, there's many more mystery shows around! www.imdb.com/title/tt3566...

One podcast, TWELVE new film reviews! This week, William Bibbiani and Witney Seibold analyze... Electric State The Day the Earth Blew Up The Rule of Jenny Pen Black Bag Mickey 17 Novocaine Hang on, we don't have enough room in one post... redcircle.com/shows/critic...
