If you love film, you likely have been to a repertory screening at some point in your life. The chance to watch an older movie, on the big screen, with a crowd as in love with the opportunity to watch a movie in theatres, maybe for the first time, or maybe to recapture that sense […]
This past March, I was accepted to be a member of the Atlanta Film Critics Circle, which was founded in 2017, and looks to “fill a void in the local film community and in the representation of Atlanta’s media on the national stage.” This marks my second local film critic group to be included in, […]
Hello readers and listeners! We’re wrapping up 2024 with a handful of “Class of 1999” discussions, and this is one I’m delighted to share with you. The film is John Lasseter’s “Toy Story 2”, and joining me is returning guest Darin Lundberg of NostalgiaCast. This was such a wonderful dialogue and experience. You can hear […]
Hello readers and listeners! It’s time, once again, to dive back into the movie year of 1999, and the film in question is from a venerable franchise, but a film that doesn’t necessarily hit all the right notes that franchise desires.

The subject is horror of 1974, and the films are Brian De Palma’s “Phantom of the Paradise”, Larry Cohen’s “It’s Alive” before concluding with Tobe Hooper’s “The Texas Chainsaw Massacre”. I […]
It’s October, and that means a double dose of Phil Fasso this year. In our first discussion, Phil and I review Gary Dauberman’s recently-released ”Salem’s Lot”. We discuss the previous adaptations of Stephen King’s novel, why a feature film may not be the best format for this story, and what engaged us in this film. […]
The past few months have been a bit more of an emotional roller coaster for me than I’ve had in awhile. It hasn’t been tied to a particular life event; it just feels as though something shifted with my social media circle, and it’s been something to work through. The saying is “social media isn’t […]
This is an episode I’ve been looking forward to for a while. After a long hiatus, I welcome back to the podcast my friend- and original Yahoo With a Microphone commentator- Ronnie Haynes. While the primary cinematic discussion centers of Kevin Smith’s “Clerks” films, we also discuss our friendship and cosplaying Jay and Silent Bob, […]
