So great to see Bill Ackerman back in action. The podcast initially ended in 2022, but I see that he started up again this month with Erica Schultz, followed by Willow. I recommend every single episode; a really great lineup of film writers, programmers, podcasters, and others.

@bobfreelander.bsky.social The Kubrick episode was worth the effort. It felt like a passionate project for both of you. Really well done.

Wondered why I'd been asked for David Mamet's HEIST (2001) a few times in the last week, then I listened to this two part epic podcast on Kubrick where all is explained!

Seven hours sounds like a chore, but this is an absolute delight.

Great work Brian and Elric.

Very excited to share the cover for my next book, HANNIBAL LECTER: A LIFE, coming in February from Simon & Schuster! It's about how Thomas Harris created one of the most beloved bad guys of all time, and a look at the making of such hits as THE SILENCE OF THE LAMBS, MANHUNTER, and NBC's HANNIBAL.

Highlight of this is undoubtedly the two contrasting films that Brian and Elric pair with A Clockwork Orange. You couldn’t wish for a better example of why they are the perfect podcasting team.
