Matt Marrone

A Rocky Road To The Show - Unwinnable Sure, Matt Mambo is fictional. And yes, for whatever reason, the real Yankees manager had been replaced by someone who frankly lacks the gravitas to assess my performance.

"Matt Mambo grew up dreaming of being a New York Yankee. He’s now their best player."

@mattmarrone.bsky.social‬ shares the underdog story of his MLB: The Show ’25 avatar:

Stardew For Two - Unwinnable All three Marrone males have their own farms. Dad’s is a thriving, end-game affair. Jacob’s is, well, bounding with potential. Peter’s is a total mess.

"[W]hat at first seemed like an amazing father-sons bonding opportunity has quickly turned into a pixelated nightmare."

@mattmarrone.bsky.social plays Stardew Valley co-op with his two sons, and chaos ensues:

Wait … 2025?!?!

Starting to get excited! #PattiSmith #CarnegieHall @michaelstipe.bsky.social

The Darkening - Unwinnable Or, the night the lights of the Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree are turned off for good.

"The night the Norway Spruce, or whatever it happens to be that year, begins its death march to the great tree farm in the sky."

@mattmarrone.bsky.social begins an inverted holiday tradition at the Rockefeller Center Christmas tree:

Play with them in NYC too! We’d love to see you there ;)

I could see it. It was a wild ride, and considerably better than many of the other contenders I’ve seen so far.

I have now seen FIVE of this year’s best picture nominees. My rankings:

1. Dune: Part Two
2. Anora
3. The Conclave
4. Emilia Perez
5. The Substance

HELLLOOOO To all those that celebrate #TwinPeaksDay. We are very excited to announce that we have Kyle MacLachlan in our final issue. We discuss his entire #DavidLynch career from Dune to Dougie.

Unwinnable’s Coverage of the Worldwide Video Arcade Championships is VERY Late (Sorry!) - Unwinnable "This movie is cool because it’s in the '80s."

ICYMI: "A little more than a decade ago, on Aug. 28, 2014, I was on site for the July 26, 1982, Worldwide Video Arcade Championships."

@mattmarrone.bsky.social gets a blast from the past when he watches Pixels with his boys:

With @gruetzy.bsky.social

1. Dune Part Two — A classic. I liked Part One but this blows it away.
2. Conclave — Just left the theatre and we’re talking about sound design. Not a knock.
3. Emilia Perez — Either it’s good or it’s really REALLY bad. I remain undecided.
4. The Substance — On this one, I am not undecided.

I have now seen FOUR of this year’s Best Picture nominees. My rankings so far (with comments since this is my first ranking post this cycle):

Are the Dodgers two playoff teams in one? We split them in half to find out We kept one part of MLB's superteam in L.A. -- and moved the rest to Brooklyn. Would the Los Angeles Dodgers and Brooklyn Trolleys BOTH rule baseball?

Brad Doolittle broke the #Dodgers in two — to see if BOTH squads would make playoffs. A super fun piece today @espntr.bsky.social www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/...

AMAZING Cub Scouts sleepover at the New York Aquarium!

We love this! 🧡🧡🧡

(Posted this yesterday on the other site, which made me realize how many people have left.)

I think of David Lynch (and of course @markfrost.bsky.social) every morning when I slip this on. What a loss. We’ll see you in the trees, Gordon Cole. #TwinPeaks

Incidentally, this was the first Unwinnable column I read to my kids that totally cracked them up. I had to read it to them three times.

This is How it Starts to Move Again - Unwinnable “How Will I Live Without a Body?” is not a record you can fully grasp in one sitting, whether you’re nine years old or 46.

In last month’s @Unwinnable, I wrote about parenting, and my 2024 Album of the Year — Loma’s mesmerizing “How Will I Live Without a Body?” @lomatheband.bsky.social @jonathanmeiburg.bsky.social unwinnable.com/2025/01/16/t...

I adored this from @mattmarrone.bsky.social. it absolutely hit me like a ton of bricks.

Matt's covered a LOT of ground over the years but this one got to me in a mega specific way.
