I know most of my Jonathan Bailey content is just thirst posts, but I am genuinely invested in his success. He’s on the precipice of becoming a major star, which is incredible to be as an out gay man. I think that’s so vital, especially now, and means so much. I hope he does it.

Loved hearing @sophiacim.bsky.social and @kevinjacobsen.bsky.social talk about how Greer Garson should have had a role like Dangerous Liaisons. Not sure if you all know that she played Regina in a TV version of The Little Foxes which is a change from her usual image: youtu.be/DO_CtMTBRC8?...

Had a silly time with @claudioalvesdc.bsky.social discussing how The House of the Spirits whitewashes Isabel Allende's novel, the film's lack of authenticity, the epic actressing event of seeing Glenn Close and Meryl Streep share the screen together, and so much more! Give it a listen!

One Battle After Another: One of those films where you recognize from the opening scenes that the director is in full control of his vision. Many of today’s social satirists could learn a thing or two from how PTA plays with topical themes without being overly didactic!

No set plans, but a return to And the Runner-Up Is with a different category is certainly an option, as is an entirely new show. Enjoying the Glennergy for now!
