I’m seeing GOOD FORTUNE and THE BLACK PHONE 2 tonight, but with just 10 weeks left in the year, these are the films I’m likely to see (balancing ones I’ll see with my kids, personal picks, and awards contenders). What’s missing, friends?!

Also in physical media news, may I present the one and only purchase I made during the Criterion sale. Of course, this one too was inspired by a recent podcast. Hear me and @imhoreviews.bsky.social ease on into THE WIZ this coming week on Close Watch!!

Look what I found at my local used music shop! I fully credit @cinemarecall.bsky.social for this one. Looking forward to checking out the director’s commentary! Check out our conversation about WAKING LIFE at the link below!

New Back To Bluey! In episode 44, @crookedtable.bsky.social and I spend quality time with the youngest Heeler in "Bingo." We discuss how it highlights what we love about Bingo, the larger point it makes about coping and problem-solving, and where it fits within the show's continuity. Link below!

I would have preferred Joe Dante was back, but having Columbus — who wrote the original film — directing is a solid choice too. This feels like a Beetlejuice 2 situation in that I won't believe it's real until I see it, but I'm excited to do so! Practical effects please!!
GREMLINS 3 is for real happening with Chris Columbus in the director’s chair and Steven Spielberg producing

Did you know The Wizard of Oz got an animated sequel starring Liza Minnelli? Neither did we! On the latest Close Watch, Will Ashton of Cinemaholics joins us to (re)visit 1972's Journey Back to Oz, perhaps the most notable of the many obscure adaptations of L. Frank Baum’s land of Oz.

Derrickson and Cargill deliver the best Nightmare on Elm Street sequel since Dream Warriors. But does it make for a good Black Phone sequel?

I’ve never seen anything related to TRON and have basically zero knowledge of the mythos. But the movies I wanted to see are all but out of theaters. So here I am. Now watching…

My four-year-old is obsessed with "Ease on Down the Road." So I'm excited for everyone to hear me and @imhoreviews.bsky.social talk THE WIZ in a couple of weeks. But first, strap in for this week's chat on the most (only?) obscure Oz film we're covering on Close Watch.

My sister has decided she too wants to be an entrepreneur. I thought I would help her out by sharing her new venture with my connections. She's just launched an Etsy shop, and I am so excited for her.
