I was going to say that 96 Greers can take your mind off the state of the world, but PLAYING WITH FIRE is not not about climate change. Whomp whomp! #filmsky #movies #podcast #filmpodcast #filmpodcastsky

One of the things you can't unsee once you start looking is how several generations of film historians trained themselves to look at any sequence filmed by DW Griffith as an excuse to declare that he did it first

For example, ONE EXCITING NIGHT (1922) is often named as the first Old Dark House film

SHOCKING reveals, gratuitous f-bombs, and a denouement longer than your average Frasier episode.

Is it pandemic dramedy Family Squares, or the 96G episode on Family Squares?

Surprise bitch, it's both!

Where'd You Go Bernadette? isn't one of the "Time. Whoa." Linklaters, but it does leave us asking deep questions, eg.: why isn't James Urbaniak in more stuff?

"Mx." when referring to a nonbinary person is short for Mxyzptlk. We're all from that dimension.

Brick is an incredible movie. If it wasn't so goddamn smart, it would be deeply stupid. And yet.

Longtime 96 Greers listeners will be pleased to learn that #EricLaRue is being released in April! The trailer doesn't do justice to its sense of humor, but it exists!

I'm just a 2025 podcast, standing in front of a 2010 movie, asking it to do an ok job of being set in 1997. Just in time for V-Day, we're talking LOVE AND OTHER DRUGS on 96 Greers! #filmsky

Patrick Ripoll has started a new column on Genre Grinder looking back at the horror movies of the year 2000. Here's the first entry!
Silver Screams: The Complete History of Horror Films 1886 — 1999 (abridged)
Contrary to popular belief, humans of the 19th century had familiarity with the difference between art and reality. They knew that the latter was not in black and white or 16 frames per second, so no ...

Chicago- reports say UI Health is complying in advance on gender affirming care, while Lurie’s Children’s Hospital is “reviewing” their procedures (???).

Tell them how you feel:

Watched Groundhog Day on Groundhog Day, which I've done every year for at least a decade. So there's at least one aspect of my life where I'm faring better than the MacElroy brothers

Pay attention to the newly accelerated war on porn.
If you are not already, pay attention to increasing attacks on porn even if porn is something you do not care for. The attacks, architected and carried out by zealots, are intended to broaden the classification of "porn" to include all sorts of speech determined "subversive" by zealots. This is what has drawn me to this community and fight. I'm not a porn super fan. "Obscenity" is long where this battle has been fought and sex workers are on the front lines of that fight. *Their* free speech battle is one you benefit from, fellow artists. Don't get me wrong! I don't mean to distance myself from love and appreciation for smut, subversive art, literature, trash and more. I am a true fan of all of the above (in no small part because I also know and appreciate its role in the history of this struggle). But one should not feel they have to be a fan to appreciate what this fight means for the freedom of speech (especially speech including queer and feminist perspectives, which have often been grouped together as "subversive" and "dangerous" texts in the name of state censorship).

It's interesting how many Arnold Schwarzenegger roles have bland American names. Doug Quaid. Ben Richards. 4 separate Johns.

HANG IN THERE BABY!!

a simple and graphic three-color drawing of a cat hanging from a tree branch, wailing in fear and misery. The text in the border around it says “Hang in there baby. You can cry. You can cuss. But you gotta hold on.”
