I did a @junkfilterpod.bsky.social about this movie with @hitfactorypod.bsky.social where we used the phrase “Horny Jail” several times
Saturday evening viewing recommendation? Watch Jim McBride’s BREATHLESS (1986) in our ‘80s REMAKES (AND THEIR ORIGINALS!) collection! ❤️‍🔥
Remaking Jean-Luc Godard’s French New Wave landmark (itself an homage to American gangster films) was surely one of the more audacious cinematic gambits of the 80s

An excellent, vital film. A extremely cool and thoughtful filmmaker. And a Q&A moderated by yours truly. If you're in the Bay Area, you should come to this.

We got @notoriouslightning.bsky.social of @hitfactorypod.bsky.social on the pod to talk The Fabelmans, a movie about how making movies basically ruined Steven Spielberg’s life, but it's also the only way he knows how to process everything bad that's ever happened to him.

Completely bizarre that I am watching a bunch of movies from Cannes 1992, completely on my own little weird day-to-day schedule, and yet I watched Mambety's HYENAS the day @hitfactorypod.bsky.social posted an ep on it, and then I watched BENNY'S VIDEO the same way @davidlsims.bsky.social watched it

@hitfactorypod.bsky.social Hooting with jubilation seeing that there is a podcast episode on Hyenas, a movie I watched a few months ago on Mubi. Looking forward to listening!

I only really use this app to post my work and will RT it throughout the day because I want folks to read it, god forbid, and I guess it’s just nice to see the bozos have migrated from Twitter

The @hitfactorypod.bsky.social year round up ep was great but I shouldn't have listened to it while driving, because I gotta go through again when I can safely add a lot of stuff to my watchlist.

The concept of making a movie about white supremacy and the military violence that enforces it with your Zionist pal Jonny Greenwood. (FTR I had a blast watching this movie I just think PTA is ideologically hollow and willfully focused on politics as vibes and vibes only.)
