Did Netflix Ruin Movies?
Did Netflix Ruin Movies? YouTube video by The Atlantic

Given that awards season is coming to an end, it felt like a great excuse to get @davidlsims.bsky.social on the pod. had him walk me through the history of netflix, how it ate hollywood, changed movies, tv, & a lot of our consumption behaviors. as well as what's next www.youtube.com/watch?v=a8gI...

β€˜The Bride!’ Is a Failed Experiment Maggie Gyllenhaal’s follow-up to β€œThe Lost Daughter” is an incomprehensible movie mash-up.

In β€œThe Bride!” the director Maggie Gyllenhaal goes for maximalism but ends up with a mess, David Sims writes:

like all emerald fennell movies, WUTHERING HEIGHTS is dumb. but it is the first emerald fennell movie to *know* it's dumb and deploy said dumbness with intention. I rest my defense

If you haven’t already seen it, please seek out Tom Noonan’s debut feature WHAT HAPPENED WAS… One of the great American independent films of the ’90s directed by one of the very best American character actors ever.

In memory and honor of Frederick Wiseman, who took hold of a still-young format and, guided from the start by an unyielding sense of principle, made a body of work so original, idea-rich, and unified that it seems foreordainedβ€”a historic fusion of investigation and the inner life.

Don’t Cancel The Washington Post. Cancel Amazon Prime. The subscription money enriching Jeff Bezos could instead be spent on the journalism crucial to preserving democracy.

these videos have raised more than $180,000(!) for a variety of urgent causes over the last few years.

this year i'm once again supporting the Palestine Children's Relief Fund, whose work is tragically as vital as ever. please consider giving if you can!
