We lost one of our Stars of Tomorrrow, @bobfreelander.bsky.social.
Very sad to hear of the far-too-early passing of Corey Parker, who I love for both BIG MAN ON CAMPUS and HOW I GOT INTO COLLEGE but marked his legacy in my heart as Mädchen Amick's leading man in I'M DANGEROUS TONIGHT.
Whatever happens tonight, just want to express my supreme appreciation for the miracle that is #TheLastDriveIn. We were largely Joe Bob-less for 18 years, limited to bootlegs of old shows, his audio commentaries and odd appearance here & there. To get 8 more years of him has been amazing.
Great choice!

OUT NOW! An author we don't like. A game we can't play. A novelization that's... surprisingly tolerable if we grade on a curve. But with @patrickhwillems.bsky.social and @thelastmachine.bsky.social joining to discuss Shadowkeep, the conversation earns an A+ easily. Listen: shorturl.at/lDZ45
Waking up tomorrow and realizing there won't be any more Frederick Wiseman films is going to be soul-crushing.

Gifted the Gonzo print to my sister a few years ago, she moves it from her office to their main living room every December. Really signals the start of the holidays!

OUT NOW! @thelastmachine.bsky.social joins to discuss Speed Zone, theoretically a third entry in the Cannonball Run series. Can three SCTV alumni save a film with no story or jokes? Why do we keep doing this? We think it had something to do with something called Carquake? Listen: shorturl.at/lDZ45
Just so happens, on this day of Tom Stoppard's departure, sorting through old crap, I found an ancient program from when I co-directed and co-starred in ROSENCRANTZ AND GUILDENSTERN ARE DEAD in high school.
I still mumble "consistency is all I ask..." to myself every once in a while.

Authorized episode logo for Cannonball Run II, featuring "The King"
OUT NOW! @thelastmachine.bsky.social joins as we continue our quest to watch everything even tangentially related to Carquake (aka Cannonball), whether it has been novelized or not. Will diminished expectations benefit the sequel to a movie we mostly didn't love? Listen: shorturl.at/lDZ45

This was my first feature film as writer/director, released back in 2008, a horror inspired by The Texas Chain Saw Massacre and 70s British horrors like Frightmare and Mumsy, Nanny, Sonny and Girly, about a murderous family who live in a house at the end of a Heathrow Airport runway.
Fellow used bookstore explorer @scsheil.bsky.social will appreciate how awesome it is that I found this at a used shop in Poughkeepsie, NY.

I join Matt on the Time Enough Podcast to discuss the 1962 film REQUIEM FOR A HEAVYWEIGHT, where it stands in Rod Serling's writing oeuvre, and if there is any fate for a veteran boxer that is not poverty and physical degradation...
