For the most part, I did- indeed- get “Repertory Revue” back on track in 2025. Yes, in February and March I didn’t do a single review for this, but considering that that time period I was dealing with a hectic work schedule, season tickets for pro volleyball, a film festival, and personal situations- including my […]
It’s that time of year again when the winners of the Georgia Film Critics Association awards are announced. I still had catching up to do before the final ballot was in, but that was the way of 2025. Here are the nominees, what won, and my thoughts as a voting member. I hope you enjoy! […]
Earlier this year, I was honored to join the Southeastern Film Critics Association critics group. It is my third critics group to vote in, and was the second that needed my ballot this year. Unfortunately, I had no real time to get to anything between AFCC and SEFCA, so it was basically the same ballot. […]
Preparing to vote for the best of the year for the Atlanta Film Critics Circle for the second year has been an ordeal. This year, my screening schedule has been rough, with work taking me out of town a lot, resulting in limiting my possibilities of getting to movies early, so this year’s ballot was […]
When it comes to authoritarian regimes- or those aspiring to be- a free and independent press can be its worst enemy. Fake news, Lugenpresse. “Liberal bias.” Those are just some of the ways they can be discredited by leaders with a fetish for dictatorships. In this episode in our “Fascism in Cinema” episode, listen as […]
In part due to the unplanned hiatus during May and June, horror podcast episodes are not on the menu this year. But this episode is close, because H.G. Wells’s The War of the Worlds is one of the most terrifying stories in the annals of science fiction. Much like we did a couple of years […]
Last year, I joined the Atlanta Film Critics Circle. I voted in last year’s awards, and will do so again this year. This year is not just a normal year for the organization, however. Earlier this year, before other publications had done their respective lists of the Best Films of the 21st Century, we had […]
As you’ve probably noticed in the past few years, one of the things I’ve wanted to do is have some discussions on films from my formative years discovering films, and getting deeper into films, that mean a lot to me. This is one that was bound to be a tough one to get a guest […]
In the latest episode of the Sonic Cinema Podcast, we continue a conversation that began this year at the 2025 Atlanta Film Festival. It’s not often that we return to a filmmaker so quickly after meeting them, but the connection I had with filmmaker Kiera Faber was a meaningful one for both of us. I […]
Because of the lack of the film festival element, it feels as though my annual DragonCon podcast gets shorter and shorter each year. But, it is tradition, and it’s also a nice reprieve from the heavier episodes of the year. I hope you enjoy this year’s episode! Episode 171 – DragonCon 2025 Thanks for listening, […]
