1) Marty McFly seemed like the EPITOME of cool when I was a kid. The guitar. The skateboard. The attitude. The denim jacket! Hanging out with a crazy old scientist.

2) It definitely always felt like an 80s teen comedy to me.

3) It’s officially pot roast season here in NW Pennsylvania. #HATM

It vibes a bit different than the first two, but you’re in for a treat!

I think a lot of it depends on your age and where you are at in your life too when you watch each of them. I’m about to hit 40 in a few weeks… maybe that means I’m due for a rewatch of the whole trilogy!

Huh. Had no idea that Home Alone was actually a C.H.U.D. reunion for John Heard and Daniel Stern. #moviesky

Really enjoyed Longlegs. For #3, onto a cult classic that I often saw in the movie store as a kid, but never pulled the trigger on renting it: 1984’s C.H.U.D. #horror #filmsky

Lord of Illusions was enjoyable but, yeah, also pretty bad. I’d still love to see Bakula reprise the role… maybe in the next Hellraiser movie. Onto a newer one tonight: Longlegs. Other than Nic Cage giving a batshit performance, I know almost nothing about it. #horror #filmsky

Ebert was a fan. Observations: Scott Bakula is like a paranormal investigating John McLane. It seems like they wanted his Harry D’Amour to be a franchise character possibly (like the stories). Fun fact: Barker intended for this to be the same fictional universe as Hellraiser. #filmsky #moviesky

Interestingly, Brinkley himself was raised in Ohio & went to Ohio State. I’m unsure if they’ve said specifically why they prefer Erie over Put-in-Bay where the Battle of Lake Erie happened — but I know they’ve discussed the centrality of Erie. I’ll ask that question directly when I get the chance.

The way I organize my bookshelves makes sense to me and me alone. I also can’t really explain it… but it all makes sense in my head.

Right? I just finished the latest season last week and was surprised to see the next season was already dropping.

I’ve been getting paid to write for ten years and *still* internally cringe when I call myself a writer. But I do it anyway, because I am.

It was great! I wasn’t sure what my youngest’s reaction would be, but he giggled throughout the whole movie and afterwards said it was one of his new favorites.

Mostly, I spent the 10-20 minutes fighting it. I should just embrace it!

One of the best podcasts out there. Looking forward to many more.
