My countdown of 20 great movies from the past 20 years continues with the incredibly fun + creative 13-minute short Rope A Dope. It's basically "Groundhog Day, but with Jackie Chan-inspired action comedy." It's free to watch on YouTube, and this post is free as well! pvguide.ghost.io/rope-a-dope-...

Eric Jacobus's excellent short combines Groundhog Day with Jackie Chan action comedy in a thrilling (and funny) 13 minutes

If "I should watch Eega" is all you get out of PV Guide, I will have succeeded in my mission

Pete Volk @petevolk.bsky.social · 6d

My countdown of 20 great movies from the past 20 years continues with Eega, my favorite movie from RRR director S.S. Rajamouli. It has one of the most ludicrous premises you'll ever find, and is as entertaining as movies get. You will believe a man can (be a) fly pvguide.ghost.io/eega-movie-r...

Napheesa Collier's full statement at the beginning of her exit interview.

She directly quotes conversations with Cathy Englebert that legitimately call into question how the WNBA is being led. (Part 1/2) #WNBASky

Zaror is an inspiring independent film artist/action god. Enjoyed this peek into his process. Wrote a bit about Affinity in my Big Bad Film Fest coverage: oldnew.substack.com/p/dtv-action...
