This is one of those eps where I easily could have kept talking about the movie for another three hours. It really feels like the deeper you go, the more it unfolds. Also, shout outs the T-rex

Yeah, but my history book didn’t tell me that Taylor would drop a new album and sell merch at Target while kids are zip-tied together in Chicago and the Army is sent to Portland and coffee is unaffordable to the masses and I would still need to make supper every night…

#letterboxd displaying these as my top popular reviews right now is kinda killing me

reviews for the film one battle after another, which i didn't like that much, and sky high, which i love even though it's not good. the review for sky high mentions that everyone is watching one battle after another and i am instead watching sky high.

we've been getting AI spam comments on the blog and this one really takes it for me because Fright Night came out in the '80s

Finn @finnematic.bsky.social · 11d

the people who don’t like me (because I stand up for my friends) need to learn the worst thing they can say about me is nothing at all…I get so much mileage out of the rude things said to and about me. You can’t say I’ve written a manifesto without me calling myself Ted Ka-Finn-sky

Sometimes you get so excited about film programming that you write a series introduction about it. Check out my overview of NIXONLAND and see my recommendations for movies with similar themes (both '70s era horror and modern day picks).

Richard Nixon and the Ghosts of the American Dream – Perisphere

|Finn Odum| I must admit to you that I know very little about the 1970s. I know that Richard Nixon “pledged to end the Vietnam War”, sending the poorest of America’s sons to die aimless deaths while m...

I know we keep focusing on Colbert and Kimmel as we should, but we also need to remember there are hundreds of people who work for these shows who also just lost their jobs because of this bullshit, and most of them are probably not millionaires.

Our @trylon.org Perisphere writers are very, very cool—even the ones who “consistently and grossly violate” our word counts. Check out DEATH BY SNAILS by @lucashardwick.bsky.social (including one hattastic essay I edited upon first publication).

A teal and pink cover of skulls with snails in them, titled Death by snails Vol 2. A guide for how to watch anything through the art and majesty of film criticism.
